A review of the Pursuit of Happiness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” was released on the 15th of December 2006. It is a dramatic story based on a biography of Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle with homelessness. Directed by Gabrielle Muccino, the film stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner, and co-stars Jaden Smith playing Chris’ son, Christopher Jr. For Will Smith’s performance in the film, he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. The ‘different’ spelling of the title, ‘Happyness’ is seen by Chris Gardner on the building outside the play centre is son attends, which Chris reminds the owners of the building multiple times that it is spelt with an ‘I’.
The film shows us the struggles Chris Gardner has with homelessness. He is bankrupt because he invested his life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he thought hospitals would be interested in buying, but in the end hardly any doctors wanted one, as they considered it an ‘expensive luxury’. During the struggles, his wife Linda leaves to go to New York and Chris and his son are left in San Francisco with no income and living in a motel. Chris sees interest in become a stockbroker, but to become one he has to go through an internship. Meanwhile, Chris and his son are evicted because they can’t pay rent, and they are forced to go to a homeless shelter, and even one night had to sleep in the bathroom of the underground rail system. During his internship, he never once mentions his financial struggles and at one point he is asked to give one of his bosses 5 dollars for a cab, a sum that he can’t afford. After an intense six months, Chris is taken into the bosses’ office, and is offered a job as a stockbroker, the final scene shows him being in unbelief of the position he was offered and showing his happiness and gratefulness for the opportunity, Chris realises that his financial struggles are over as he now has a job with a regular income.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person. It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.
在我书桌的一角,放着一个存钱罐。在旁人眼中可能只是一个普通的小玩意儿,可在我眼中意义非凡。
存钱罐的外形十分别致。看起来像迪斯尼那个人见人爱的小老鼠米妮。存钱罐的颜色光彩夺目,好看极了。它的肚子圆鼓鼓地凸出来,腹部有点凹进去,曲线优美,非常惹人注意。它的腰间还有一个小枷锁,没有钥匙的证明就企图拿走它肚子里的钱币,它可会“翻脸不认人”的。
说起存钱罐的身世,还有一段美丽的邂逅呢!有一天,我到商场玩,不经意间看到了这个存钱罐。我对它一见钟情,千方百计地缠着爸爸妈妈买下它。我对它视若珍宝。
存钱罐里面装的可都是我的血汗钱。那是我做家务的报酬。它忠心耿耿地“保卫”着我的幸苦钱。
每当我需要用钱时,只要开一下钥匙便可。我喜欢我的存钱罐!
大家一定都听说过火龙果吧。
火龙果大概有我的两个拳头大。梅红色的表面十分好看,从远处望去,还真像一团火焰呢!如果你凑近仔细看,会发现火焰里面夹杂着许许多多白白的小点点。梅红色的表皮上长着十几片软软的,像剑一样的鳞片,螺旋形地长着,似乎是一条绕着圈圈的楼梯。鳞片的底下和火龙果的表皮一样,也是梅红的,中间是黄色的。等到了最上面,就完全变成绿色的了。在火龙果的顶部,有一个小洞。在火龙果的底部有三个一簇的小尖刺,扎到手上一定会出血,你可要小心哦。把鼻子凑近,深深吸一口气的话,一股淡淡的青草味扑鼻而来,沁人心脾。
切开一看,火龙果表皮里外的颜色是不一样的,靠果实的那边明显比要靠外的那边深。果肉是白色的,纤维状的,有数不清的黑籽在里面,像黑色的鱼籽酱。挖一勺尝尝,清甜爽口,像加了芝麻的冰淇淋。黑籽滑过舌尖,麻麻的,嚼一下,香脆香脆的真好吃。吃完以后,火龙果就像一只小船,红红的,漂亮极了。用手一挤,边缘里的红汗就流出来了,好像血。
这就是火龙果,你有没有垂涎三尺呢?赶快尝一尝吧!
