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.

青春,一个复杂多彩的年华,有多少人因它倾倒,有多少人因它奋斗,有多少人因它伤感。
独自一人踏着缓慢的脚步在一条幽幽的小路里徘徊,走着走着,来到了小池塘边。我微微抬起头望着宁静的池面,一股冷冷的风迎面吹来,我忧伤的心情随着风如池中的水轻轻地被荡漾开来。不知不觉有一种莫名的伤感在黑色的夜里萌发,然后觉得惶恐、不安。心情随着冷酷的晚风、随着漆黑的夜更加地悲凉起来了。
人生就是这样吗?在幸福与欢乐的前面,等待着的却是无尽的伤悲和渺茫;在失落与痛苦的前面。等待着的却是勇敢、坚强与不懈努力。如果前面的你不具备这些条件的话,那么你的人生从此就要告一段落。这就是人生。现在的.我们只有不断坚强、不断努力。才能走完我们那充满伤感色彩而又觉得复杂多彩的旅程。
黑色的风吹得旁边的树哗哗的响,连我也不禁打了个寒颤:“人生中还有多少个这样悲凉的夜晚呐?”望着四周漆黑黑的一片。我有点惘然。想着还有多少少男少女要经历这样冷酷的伤感的夜,还有多少人要在这情圈里打转,恨透了红尘的无情。将一切可以永恒的真情撕毁,将青春光辉的岁月写成了过去。不曾给人留下一次忏悔的机会,连一点点的停留都舍不得献给。
我忽然抬头仰望夜空,刹时间觉得夜空好美好美。夜空星光闪烁,犹如千千万万人的手里拿着的蜡烛闪烁着微弱的光芒,看上去其实是一片明亮与辉煌。觉得夜甘愿为星星而漆黑,甘愿牺牲自己来获得星星灿烂的微笑。顿时间觉得牺牲也是一种美,一种爱的奉献。觉得星星是夜存在的标志,也是夜的希望。想到这里。我却轻轻仰起头向星星投去了一个闪亮的微笑。是它让我知道,其实没有了它的夜才是伤感的、惘然的、可悲的。有了它,夜不再让我可怕、不再让我惶恐不安了。
青春的岁月是光辉的岁月,也是伤感的岁月。
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
