Movie Review:the Pursuit of Happyness

Imagine, if you will, being driven to the corner of life where you can hardly eke out a meager existence, where no one is there to soothe your traumas and catch your tears, and where your most beloved ones pour scorn on your ambitions and withdraw all their confidence and solicitude from you, thereby leaving you entirely on your own. Such a catalogue of misfortunes may suffice to send shivers down the spine of many, yet it does find its best representative ever in Chris, protagonist of the movie the Pursuit of Happyness. Being a salesman-turned stockbroker going almost from rags to riches, Chris proves, in every conceivable manner, a lively and classic example that shows precisely what is meant by a magnanimous man, an enterprising worker, a loving father and a gracious husband. Born of humble origins, Chris is deprived of all privileges reserved for the upper-class and scrapes through a living in his entire childhood and early adulthood years. He does not meet his father until the age of 28. As paternal affection is absent from his childhood, Chris pledges, silently yet firmly, never to leave his own son in a situation where he would not know his father and to provide him with whatever little is at his own disposal. For quite some time in his earlier years, life for Chris is infinitely precarious and proves a perpetual struggle for survival(a backlog of unpaid parking tickets and endlessly deferred house rents), yet although he languishes in destitution and torn asunder, on this account, from his wife, Chris remains as steadfast and resolute as ever in quest of a respectable career. He recommends himself to the stock office, prevails on the personnel staff and manages to win a place in the training program that w absorbs only one new stockbroker each half year. Being keenly aware that the chance for him to succeed in the internship is hopelessly slim (inadequate formal schooling being the utmost counter-factor that works against him), he still clings tenaciously to a gleam of hope, applies himself assiduously, and neatly coordinates all the priorities (making phone calls, meeting prospective clients, fetching the son and seeking shelter). He fends off all the insults and taunts inflicted on him, resolves to confront life as it is, and buckles down to making something more of his life in the humble belief that adversity shall eventually usher in prosperity if one sets the goal, stays focused on it and observes all thoughts and ideas to go for it. Such an unspoken belief which goes into the heart of his personality is inculcated subliminally into his son and sustains him all the way through his days of uncertainty in the half-year-long internship as a trainee in the brokerage firm. As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, his unfailing endeavor, underpinned by an unyielding resolve to effect a positive change to life, is fully recognized and amply rewarded. Once again, he dissolves in tears of subdued excitement the moment the directing board pronounces his success. It should be argued that such a movie is not, or rather, by no means, a story fabricated, like so many others, with a sole purpose of being sensational, commercial and profit-orientated, but rather, is inspired by a real personal story that is meant to be thought-provoking, soul-touching, morale-boosting, and life-enhancing. It serves as a raw portrayal of how a marginalized American life empowers himself by beating the odds stacked against him and makes what is seemingly impossible possible. Today, blessed with so many modern conveniences and luxuries promised by the state-of-the-art technology, most of us are sailing through a relatively comfortable life, yet in the course of enjoying all bestowed on us, how many of us would ever give even a passing thought to those in adversity, to the socially deprived and the financially challenged and to what we would do if under similar circumstances?Upon reflection on all such questions, I contemplate it is high time that we looked within at the recesses of our hearts and at what truly happens inside each one of us, for such self-introspection would emphasize sharply the value of a positive outlook towards life, of a ceaseless and focused pursuit of a dream and of the timeless virtue of being grateful for what we have, be it buoyant health, a loving family member, a fast long-term friend, a slimly-paid menial job, a roof over the head, or simply the contentment in knowing that we are still alive!

试想一下，如果你会被驱赶到生活的角落，在那里你几乎可以勉强维持微薄的存在，没有一个人来抚慰你的创伤和捕捉你的眼泪，和你最心爱的嗤之以鼻，你的野心，并撤回所有的信心和慰问你，从而让你完全在自己的。这样一个目录不幸可能就足够了很多人的脊柱发凉下来，但它找到它的最佳代表在克里斯，主角的电影“当幸福来敲门。作为一个推销员出身的股票经纪人几乎从白手起家，克里斯证明，在每一个可能的方式，生动和经典的例子，正好说明是什么意思坦荡的人，一个积极进取的工人，一个慈爱的父亲和一个亲切的丈夫。生于出身寒微，克里斯被剥夺了上层阶级和擦伤通过一个生活在他的整个童年和成年早期年保留的所有权限。他不符合他的父亲，直到28岁。由于没有父亲的感情是从他的童年，克里斯承诺，默默然而坚定，永远地离开了自己的儿子的情况，他会不知道他的父亲和他提供的任何一点是在他自己的处置。对于早年在相当长的一段时间，克​​里斯的生活是无限岌岌可危，证明了一个永久的为生存而挣扎（积压的未付停车罚单不休递延的房子租金），虽然他颓丧贫困和四分五裂，这个帐户上，从他的妻子，克里斯仍然坚定和坚决以往任何时候都在追求的一个体面的职业生涯。他建议股票办事处，上普遍存在人员和管理培训计划中赢得一席之地瓦特只吸收一个新的股票经纪人每半年。敏锐地意识到，他成功在实习的机会是无可救药的超薄（正规教育的不足是最大的计数器，对他的作品的因素），他仍然死抱着一线希望，适用于自己的刻苦钻研，整齐协调所有优先级（拨打电话，满足潜在客户，获取的儿子和寻求庇护）。他避开他遭受的侮辱和嘲弄，解决面对的生活，因为它是，和逆境的人，最终迎来繁荣，如果一台的目标，保持重点整顿不起眼的信念使他的生活更多的东西并遵守所有的想法和观点去。这样一个心照不宣的信念，进入他的个性的心脏下意识地灌输到他的儿子，并支撑着他一路过关斩将他的日子，不确定性在半年之久的经纪公司实习实习。天变成好几个星期到几个月，不屈支撑他的不懈努力，以实现一个积极的变化，生活的决心，充分肯定和重奖。他再次溶解在柔和的兴奋的泪水董事会的那一刻，宣告了他的成功。应该说，这样的电影是没有的，或者更确切地说，没有手段，编造一个故事，像这么多的人，一个唯一的目的是耸人听闻，商业和利润为导向的，而是灵感来自于真实的个人故事，是为了发人深省，感人的灵魂，士气提升，提高生活。它作为原始写照边缘化的美国人的生活如何赋予自己跳动的赔率对他不利，使什么是看似不可能变成可能。今天，有这么多现代化的便利品和奢侈品所承诺的国家的最先进的技术，我们大多数人都航行通过一个相对舒适的生活，但在使用过程中享受全部赐给我们，我们又有多少人会永远祝福甚至给想在逆境中的一个过客，社会剥夺和财政挑战，如果在类似的情况下，我们会怎样做呢？对所有此类问题的反映后，我考虑它的时候，我们看着的凹槽内我们的心，在里面我们每个人真正发生了什么，这种反省会鲜明地强调积极的人生观的价值，为我们追求梦想的不断集中和永恒的美德感谢有，无论是身强体健，一个充满爱的家庭成员，一个快速，长期的朋友，工资slimly-琐碎的工作，在头上的屋顶，或者干脆知足知道我们还活着！
