"When happiness comes knocking on the door" is an old movie released in 2006 and has been regarded as a classic inspirational film. The excellent interpretation of Will Smith makes us empathize with the movie story. Let us see a person who strives to pursue a happy life, and a person who still works hard in the face of the hardships of life.
So at the same time, this is also a warm film about "the pursuit of happiness".
In reality, each of us is also pursuing our own happiness. Being human, we are looking for things to make ourselves happy every day, but many times, we will find an interesting phenomenon: the people we meet always seem to be a little happier than us.
Why is this? In fact, it is very simple to say, because happiness is a choice, you can choose to bring it into your own life. But to do this at any time, it seems that there always seems to be some difficulty.
We will see people who are classified by society as having a lot, but they are still unhappy. You will also see some people who have very little, but they seem to be the happiest people you have ever met.
So what makes this difference? The
movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a good example. The protagonist Chris (played by Will Smith), this man has almost nothing, but chooses to be happy and does not let the environment of life slow him down. He has experienced his own pursuit of happiness, even though there are many dark and difficult moments in his life. But he chose to move forward optimistically, which ultimately gave him the power to be happy.
After watching this movie, it is almost impossible for you not to start examining your own life and the cruel challenges in your life. If you choose to be happy, you can change these cruelties. This is how Chris walks toward his own happiness, pursuing his own happiness.
When we see the word pursuit, we usually think of pursuing someone or something from a safe distance.
In this movie, "pursuing" means jumping out of the situation where you are now. Chris in the
movie must struggle with the current life situation in order to get rid of a very poor situation.
At the beginning of the movie, we saw how passionate Chris was. He sent his son to school every day. Someone sprayed "fuck happiness" on the wall of his son’s school. Chris asked the janitor to clean up the words on the wall as soon as possible, so that his son would not walk into the school every day. See those negative words. He also pointed out that the word "happyness" was misspelled.
As the film progresses, Chris’ personal qualities begin to shine, and we see how he motivates himself, struggles forward with a positive and happy attitude, and uses the spirit of never giving up to make his life and his son Life becomes better.
The terrible and cruel facts of poverty, homelessness, and single fatherhood do not prevent Chris from pursuing a better life and achieving his goals and ambitions. He still fights for what he wants.
As the movie continues, we see that his love for his son is his top priority. He is always thinking about how to make his son's life better. His son is one of the sources of motivation for him to continue striving for success.
In a famous scene in the movie, Chris and his son are playing basketball on the roof. He tells his son not to work too hard in this sport, because his son will never exceed the average.
But soon Chris realized that it was wrong for him to educate his son like this! Chris paused and thought about what he had just said, then turned to his son and said, "Don't let anyone stop you from realizing your dream, even me." The answer of
reveals the close relationship between father and son, and the consciousness that you should never stop trying. You are a person who can control your own results. Chris always believes that success depends entirely on his own efforts, not from fate or luck.
Life is always difficult. Many times, I feel that the challenge will never stop. But after the challenge is successful, all the hardships will come.
In our lives, we all encounter some difficulties, we never know what will happen or what people will say or do. The only thing we can control is our own behavior and how we choose to fight backDifficulties in life.
Chris has experienced many such moments, but he always chooses to be proactive and continue to move towards his ultimate goal. As the movie draws to a close, we see that Chris Gardner has reached his goal: He is very successful, has made a lot of money, and is able to provide his son with a good life. The story of the
movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" tells us: When we need or want something, we must work hard for it. Life will not give a lot of free charity.
Chris is in a very low position in his own life, but he chooses to do everything he can to get out of this low position. When Chris wanted something, he went after it.
He realized that his life needs to be changed and he needs to provide a better life for his son. By examining his current situation and choosing not to look at negative things, Chris did not let fate or luck influence his life, but through constant efforts to get what he wanted to create his own luck.
He has never seen the future, only a bunch of challenges. But he focuses on happiness and wants to be happy. He pursues happiness!
We all control our lives. Making us feel that success and happiness never depend on other people.
We may not get or keep everything we want. Sometimes, in our lives, we must make sacrifices and give up some things in order to finally reach where we want to go, but this is only part of the journey of life.
Chris lost his marriage and was homeless, but his attitude towards life helped him overcome these challenges and ultimately remain happy and successful. The story of
