I have watched an encouraging movie which named “The Pursuit of Happyness”.It is based on a true story of famous self-made millionaire Chris Gardner.Will Smith acted as Chris and did a fantastic job which really moved and inspired me.Will Smith was starred an ordinary person who lived in San Francisco in 1980s.
The story is as follows:Chris was an ordinary salesman rushing about persuading doctors to buy his scanners.Though he was diligent enough,the scanners was not popular with people.Sometimes,Chris could hardly sell out one.It could be seen that Chris could not improve his family life through his hard work.What was worse,his wife Linda left him because of the hard life.However,Chris did not give in and give up.He tried his best to build a happy life for his little son and finally he became a successful investor.
I was moved by the touching movie.Moreover,I was impressed by some of the scenes.In order to catch up with the lost scanners,Chris was knocked down by a car.He looked for his shoe groveling on the road without checking himself being hurt or not.Is shoe so important for him?Sure,as for a man whose account was only 21 dollars,it can be easily understood such crazy behavior made by him.Though he had nothing,hearing his son’s thoughtful words is another kind of happiness actually.
Chris is a man with purpose.He said that got a dream,you gotta protect it.He encouraged his son “don’t ever let somebody tell you … you can’t do something.” I think this sentence was said to himself too.
When I thought back the beginning of the movie in Chinatown,Chris pointed at the word happiness on the wall,talking to a Chinese who spoke Guangdonghua that:There is no “Y” in happiness,it is an “I”.Come to think of it,we are always asking ourselves why when we have found others in happiness.While,Chris told us that No Why,it is me!
The movie told me a lot.We should pursue the happiness on our own.When we face difficulties,we’d better think about Chris’s situation,and I’m sure that nothing will hurt you anymore.So let’s take the letter i instead of the letter y in happyness.
