he cold or the movie that kept me tossing and turning in bed, but one thing is certain: many scattered fragments of the movie again and again flashed in my mind. My cell phone read 4:16 am at that time, but I was not sleepy at all. So I decided to get up and write something.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" -- the title comes from a misspelled schoolhouse mural -- has a lot on its mind but mostly this: If America is about the promise of bettering oneself, why does it have to be so freaking hard? In the movie, Jeffersons Declaration of Independence words about happiness kept recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all looked “happy,” “Why not me? “ Christ wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overworked anxiety. Finally, his wife left Christ because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ became a single father.
With the failure of his business, Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the flat. They became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway station public bathroom or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future, for his own belief, Christ never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today.
With his great efforts, Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Christ made it with his amazing willpower.
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.
I like to watch The Pursuitof Happyness.
From Gardner, who realized that what I do is the real men and how to do good is the real father.
Christopher was from, I feel the childs innocence and ignorance, how is the good son.
You gotta dream, you gotta protect it. If you have a dream, you theprotection on it.
This is a great father to his sons care and education Christopher In many cases, we would like to see a movie may be silly to pass the time,saying that some of the good, or it may be trained to listen to hearing English spoken. This inspirational film, I look at it with the problem. What I can learn.
From despair to find hope Out of society, have no choice but to work hard, as long as solely, nothing is insurmountable unless heaven or hell.
Christophers cute in his ignorance and innocence which Christopher has always been the man could in his father through thick and thin,no complaints. Im impressed the most is his father said to him "I trust you",
I think this is that they are able to Gardner in countless ting in front of the biggest setbacks from the powerand reason.
Last night, I read an American inspirational article "when happiness knocks on the door", I feel a lot. Each of us has experienced some hardships before we know what happiness is. Chris experienced the most difficult stage in his life. From the step by step to the final success of the ordeal. The film also became popular applause of the American inspirational article. Perhaps inspirational articles have a common plot, all is the master, through the rough life course, finally to success. But if thats not the case, can it be inspirational?
When happiness knocks on the door, Chris. Gardiner represented a medical device, his main job is to do the work of medical device salesman, every day is carrying a scanner shuttle in the street, around to sell. Sales promotion is not so smooth. He goes out every day, but he comes home with money every day. He has a wife and a son. His wife works for 16 hours a day in a factory. He lives in poverty, and is often subject to various economic pressures, such as rent, car fines, taxes, etc..
Chris had a chance to see a group of stockbrokers working very happily, and he was determined to become a stockbroker. But he has only a high school diploma and has no experience, even if he makes an application. So he took the initiative to go to the examiner, hoping to achieve his wish. And it was his effort to make it happen. He got the chance to interview. He didnt get any income after the interview. The wife watched him unable to get out of the trouble and left him. It was another test for him. He decided to live alone with his son. At this point, he had no income during the 6 months practice of the stockbroker company. He could only take his son to the shelter when he was in a desperate situation. Despite this frustration, one after another, the difficulties ensued, and he never gave up. His belief in success and happiness remained unchanged. With this dedication, he worked hard, every effort to seize every opportunity, sincere treatment of his customers, and finally he ushered in the dawn of happiness.
The most impressive part of the movie is running. There are a lot of running scenes. Chris was running when he saw the stolen instrument; he was running to pay for the taxi fare; he was running for the interview; he was queuing in order to go to the hospice. Running in our lives is also possible, in order to squeeze into the bus, in order to quickly arrive at a certain place. And when Chris was running for his life, we thought of more bitterness and his effort to live. The film is the use of such a run of the subjective action, showing peoples most tenacious ability to survive and never yield spirit. We will also encounter difficulties, setbacks, whether we can correctly treat, and whether we are in the face of all this, can calmly think of ways, can take the initiative to beat the difficulties? If we can, we are the strong person in life.
The film left me with one of the deepest impression is Chriss tears. When he and his son were evicted from rental housing, he led his son to find a place to live. His friend refused him. So they came to the subway station. He came up with a story to coax his son to accept the difficulties he faced. So they went into a public lavatory and spent a night in the sound of a barrage of crashing sounds. Chris cried. He didnt cry for such difficulties. But let his son suffer with him, make him feel sorry for his son. This point of view is that he is a kind and respectable father. Treat his son, his affection is so strong and deep. Another scenario is that he was hired as the official broker, he cried, wanted to share this happy moment of the man is his son with him, can feel how much he loved his son.
We see these scenes can not help tears trickling down cheeks. A touching scene, from a subtle point can feel the power, we lack is such a force. We want to succeed, we want to become brave, and we face difficulties and setbacks, we also indomitable will and faith to support it? So, when it comes, we dont panic anymore. Because we think the world is nothing to fear. The terrible thing is that you believe in what you can do if you believe in what you want and what you will do.
不对,“大众对雾霾的集体重新关注”不如换成“大众对柴静及其纪录片的赞誉或质疑”这种表述更为准确。几乎一夜之间,头天对柴静自费百万拍摄雾霾纪录片的惊叹关注,全部被淹没在网上铺天盖地的质疑、诋毁、甚至人身攻击、个人喜好里。视频出来的当天晚上我完整地看了一遍,从新闻由头、事实呈现、追溯原因,到多方剖析、借鉴、行动建议,加上柴静条理清晰、思维连贯、语速得当、字字珠玑的演讲串联,这个纪录片的专业性可谓毋庸置疑。
我看完的当下就有冲动想写点什么。但当今天一早醒来,由于中英时差国内已经是骂声一片,负责任的还找找数据、事实表述漏洞;不负责任的纯粹人身攻击、讨厌柴静、low逼、资深烟民、高龄产妇等等私人八卦……当然积极的一面我们看到,因柴静的名人效应、公益行动带来了有关大气环境科普、环保意识觉醒、政府部门问责的一次极好的机会,公众合理质疑、多角度讨论,即使有不同的声音也是正常的、值得鼓励的,借两会召开之机,也能顺势倒逼政府部门拿出环保机制整改行动魄力。但国内舆论环境的一贯传承还没有形成能够包容理性争论的氛围气度,常常刹车失灵演变成非黑即白、谩骂攻击。在这种舆论口水战中,我习惯性地后退,多说也无益。
想起了八年多前我与柴静的一面之缘。当时其与央视《新闻调查》栏目组到清华分享栏目背后的故事,我们新闻系的全班同学受邀聆听演讲。柴静当时已经成名,简单的T恤、牛仔裤。演讲完毕对她的印象是:口才了得、满腹诗书、随口引经据典、面部表情淡漠。当时还有同行的某省台随机找了我们其中几位同学进行采访,当时我被问到的问题是:你觉得新闻记者最重要具备的素质是什么?记得我回答了三个词:热情、敏感、责任。
因为曾身处与柴静一样的职业背景,所以深知作为一名致力于追寻、记录、报道事实真相的记者,常常会遭遇关注家国天下的责任感,与改变不了现实的无力感之间的冲撞、碰击、斗争。记者的职责不是改变,而是督促改变。这种改变的`困难和阻力却是常人难以想象——《穹顶之下》号召环保体制的变革、政府部门的作为、你我行为习惯的改变,这种督促远未见效之前首先得到了大众对其行为动机、利益集团背景、私人八卦的阴谋论的诋毁,可想而知前方还有多少重重阻力。
我不是柴静的粉丝。她歪着头向对面的嘉宾咄咄逼人时,我担心她活得太沉重。这几年好了一些,脸上多了很多笑容——《穹顶之下》的演讲我们就可以看到。但无论如何,这个片子激发了我对雾霾的重新审视。
刚来英国留学时,我曾有整整八个月的时间没有回国。飞机落地北京首都机场的那一刻,我的心情雀跃极了。当我进了航站楼走向安检台的时候——我深深地记得那个画面——T3航站楼里可以用“尘土飞扬”来形容,空气里满满的黄土颜色和灰尘的味道,我下意识地捂住口鼻。这座我曾经非常熟悉的城市,因八个月的离开,带给我鼻子、呼吸道强烈的不适应感——也许因为在英国习惯了那里的蓝天白云。
英国是一个多雨的国家。我们都知道,在国内开车的人最害怕洗车后的第二天下雨——车白洗了,雨一淋全是花花的泥点子。在英国,尤其是住house的居民,习惯将车停在路边或露天院子里。当然这边很少暴雨,而平日里的淅沥小雨,是根本不用担心车子弄脏的。很多英国人在下小雨的时候,甚至选择不打伞从容在街上行走,而不必担心雨水脏了衣服。如果你住在伦敦市中心,比如金丝雀码头的某栋高楼里,平时天晴的时候,你完全可以远眺到15英里外的希思罗机场——据说曾经的北京,也能在后海银锭桥远眺到西山。
三个月前我因工作需要回国出差,一名曾在英国留学的男士,带着妻子和刚出生几个月大的宝宝过来咨询移民英国的事宜。他从英国毕业回来北京,创立了自己的公司,而且发展相当不错,但他现在,执意重回英国。“尤其结婚生了孩子之后,很多时候想带宝宝出门遛个弯儿,但空气实在太差劲了,常常雾霾,就不敢带孩子出去了。”他对我说:“为了孩子的成长,看来我必须得带他们重回英国”。
柴静拍《穹顶之下》也提到了自己的女儿。她在片子里并未将女儿未出世患肿瘤与雾霾之间证明为因果关系,但是由于关心女儿的健康问题而开始与雾霾死磕,从母亲的立场来看,是十分能够被理解的。食品安全、大气污染、成长环境等等这些在国内不能被忽视的问题,对于我这个还没当妈的人来说,已经为将来的孩子考虑到了,更何况成千上万的母亲呢!必须承认,这也是我选择留在英国的原因之一。
伦敦也曾为“雾都”。柴静在片子里特意来到伦敦寻访治理雾都的经验。我们都知道1952年12月5号那场著名的伦敦大烟雾事件,冷空气横跨英吉利海峡,覆盖整个泰晤士河谷,把煤烟控制在云层之下,造成一万两千多人因此死亡。那时英国政府在二战之后大力发展煤炭工业、振兴经济,高品质的煤炭全部用于出口,普通英国老百姓使用的大多是劣质煤炭,再加上英国工业革命之后,工厂、烟囱林立,已经排了几十年的工业废气的积累,终于酿成了大烟雾事件。1953年英国政府终于决定成立“空气污染委员会”,之后通过《清洁空气议案》、修改为《清洁空气法案》。在1960年至1970年治理空气的十年间,英国的空气清洁状况有了质的改观,同时让人惊讶的是,由于清洁能源和新兴行业的替代,英国的GDP在这十年间同时也增长了一倍。
伦敦的巴特西电站,四根103米高的烟囱,曾经是英国工业革命巅峰时期的象征。在上世纪三十年代建成后,曾每星期烧煤一万吨,维持伦敦五分之一的电力供应。而自1982年“退役”以来,巴特西电站已经成为了英国的一个重要的历史文化符号,2012年伦敦奥运会闭幕演出时,也曾作为伦敦的六个建筑形象代表之一,出现在舞台。现在,围绕着四根烟囱,巴特西商住综合开发项目成为了伦敦市最大的开发项目——其代理机构仲量联行透露,当巴特西首期住宅项目推出时,一周内即售出75%,刷新英国卖房记录。目前新建的三期项目,在去年10月底甫一推出,也延续了疯狂抢购态势。英国人对于“空气污染”是心有余悸的,但在旧城改造时,这四根烟囱是明令禁止拆除的受保护对象——它们将一直矗立在泰晤士河畔,提醒着人们英国曾经的辉煌与经验教训。巴特西情结也已深深融入了英伦文化的血液里。
不是说英国现在的大气环境就多么多么好,居住在这里感受就多么多么优越。伦敦市长鲍里斯斥资改善伦敦空气质量污染的措施仍被诟病,伦敦的空气质量时至今日还被英国媒体各种监督吐槽——比如媒体指责伦敦尤其是牛津街,是全世界二氧化氮污染最严重的地方。但这也正是体现了英国媒体的言论自由与监督有力——有报告说,根据英国2013年全面空气质量监测数据,伦敦达到“危险等级”的天数仅为8天,其他城市更少。这里蓝天白云的时间确实比国内多太多了。
今天我的朋友圈里一位在英国定居数年的前辈说:上周,舅舅在北京被确诊为咽喉癌,当我得知这一消息时,我的第一反应是雾霾。这是我第一次把雾霾和我亲人的健康联系在一起。每次短暂的回国,严重的雾霾尽管已感不适,我还是觉得与我无关。但这次我真的觉得雾霾已张开他的血盆大口在侵噬普通百姓的生命。今天凌晨我看了柴静的片子,同时也看到各种评论纷至沓来。无论怎样,柴静以她的影响力,从民间发出了对雾霾的挑战。
同样自费拍过食品安全纪录片的崔永元说:我认为《穹顶之下》唯一的作用就是启蒙作用。柴静的纪录片,可能是她职业生涯中很重要的一步,但对于国家雾霾治理可以忽略不计。
但是同为前电视人,我欣赏她仍坚持对于发现真相、深入调查、呼吁改变的追求;在名人效应的光环下,所幸能够一定程度上消抵变革难行的无力感,不管是鲜花还是鸡蛋,起码这么多人都看见了关注了;我更期待咱们国家的雾霾治理能够在十年内真的取得一些成效,重现多一些蓝天白云,那么我也能够在那时牵着自己孩子的手,说:看,这是我们的家。
