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.
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.
初恋50 First Dates
What would it feel if I can wake up everyday forgetting what happened for the last whole year?
Lucy in the movie “50 First Dates” told me this feeling. Every morning when she woke up, she only rememberred the Sunday of last year which was her father’s birthday, also the date she had the car accident which made her only keep memory before Sunday, so she always felt happy living the same habit as what she did on Sunday a year ago with the kind set-up by her father and brother. After meeting Hey, she could only remember who he was on the same day. But after one night, he became a stranger to her. She couldn’t even recognize he was the one she used to date and love everyday. Hey tried his best to give her a new different meeting every day so as to win her smile and regain their “First Date”. Hey made her tapes every morning to help her remember what happened the day before and the last whole year. Lucy thus felt grateful with all she had when she woke up everyday. On the same day, she always had the same deep gratitude to face Hey with her sweet smile. What a beautiful feeling it is to always feel thanksgiving and to always
appreciate each other’s effort. A touching story between a memory lost woman and a devoted man taught all of us, normal people, the essence of love. When two people can thank each other for their devotion everyday like what they did for each other on first date, love can forever be refreshed and energetic. On Lucy’s side, people with memory will ask for more than yesterday and become critical of their partners day by day, while people without memory will feel grateful for their life and the people around them everyday.
In the movie, when one day Lucy decided to break up with Hey to let him rebuild his life by burning all their diaries and tapes, I cried for Hey’s broken heart. For her, it was just one day feeling. For him, it was long-term affection and connection. It was easier for her than him to give up their love. On Hey’s side, people with memory will always remember the past happiness and
treasure it for the rest of their life, while people without memory will easily give up at the end of the same day.
What a ruthless feeling it is to end a relationship just after one minute thought. People with fragile mind would easily ruin a long-term relationship no matter what reason they have. The torture between Lucy and Hey tells us the fatal factor to do harm to intimacy between a couple is their fragile mind of
balancing emotion and reason. Thus most of couple lose their trust for each other after experiencing this weakly testing broke-up.

魔术师THE ILLUSIONIST FACTS
When word of the famed Eisenheim's (Ed Norton illusions reaches Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell, the ruler attends one of the magician's shows in order to debunk the performance. But when the prince's intended, Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel, assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie recognize each other from their childhoods, and pretty soon they're totally hot for each other. As the clandestine romance continues, the prince's best cop (Paul Giamatti is charged with exposing Eisenheim, even while the magician gains a devoted and vocal public following. Before long, Sophie turns up dead, and the logical suspect is Eisenheim himself.
一线声机"Cellular" has the setup for a solid straight-ahead thriller: A kidnap victim who does not know where she is being held phones a total stranger who must then stay connected on his cell phone to find her before she is killed. Joel Schumacher scored earlier with a similarly phone-themed Larry Cohen story, "Phone Booth." As executed by tone-deaf director David R. Ellis, however, "Cellular" becomes an unintentionally hilarious cousin to Brian de Palma's "Raising Cain" and "Snake Eyes."
Ellis seems to have unwittingly spliced together two different films with
mismatched tones: Kim Basinger as the kidnapee and Jason Statham as the kidnapper occupy the deadly-serious, straight-to-video thriller half, while Chris Evans as the rescuer and William H. Macy as a police officer seem to be in a "Saturday Night Live"-alum action comedy. Nowhere else is the disjointedness in tone more apparent than when Basinger and Evans's performances are placed side-by-side during their conversations: The scenes keep cutting between an overwrought Basinger wringing out every drop of melodrama, while a blissfully inept Evans seems to be channeling a cross between Chris Kattan/Jimmy Fallon and Ben Affleck/Keanu Reeves.
Meanwhile, Ellis pulls out tricks intended to generate thrills and surprises. He throws in out-of-nowhere "shocks," a la "Final Destination"; he throws in
flashbacks; he throws in a gun-blazing Macy in Jerry Bruckheimer action-hero slo-mo; and yet, Ellis has no handle on staging any of them competently. Case in point: "Cellular" is the proud owner of one of the most ineptly scored chase sequences ever, as if Ellis simply heard a snippet of the song's lyrics ("...where you gonna run to?" literally and paid no attention to the inappropriateness of the accompanying music (which just bop, bop, bops along. (The song is even reprised during the closing credits, which itself is misbegotten in conception.
And yet, for all of its failures as art, "Cellular" is always entertaining for those very same faults
山东省即墨市热淖镇上,村民发现华强厂的烟囱里近期经常排放浓烟,怀疑对环境有污染,便向市环保局举报。许久没见动静,又到法院起诉华强厂。法院登记立案后进行实质审查,告知村民们不具备诉讼主体资格。村民们只好找热淖镇牛镇长主持公道,牛镇长一气之下,带着镇里联合执法队的人,强行关停了华强厂的锅炉等生产设备。
其实,市环保局接到村民举报之后,一直密切关注华强厂的废气排放问题,发现环评合格的华强厂确实存在排放不达标的情况。该局正按照《中华人共和国大气污染防治法》和《中华人共和国行政处罚法》的有关规定,按程序分步骤地对华强厂进行处罚。
镇政府的行为给华强厂的生产带来了损失。他们先是找到鲁市长评理,没得到满意答复,便一纸诉状将镇政府告上了法院。牛镇长认为自己是在环保局、法院不作为的情况下,为改善环境质量采取的果断措施,是在落实环保法规定的政府应尽职责,因此当了被告感到委屈,便到市里向鲁市长抱怨,且不愿出庭应诉。鲁市长要求牛镇长务必出庭,是对是错请法院裁判,并告知牛镇长自己下月5号自己也有个案子要出庭应诉。
庭审当日,鲁市长带着政府部门相关负责人一起参加了旁听,新闻媒体也纷纷前来报道。市法院江院长亲任审判长主持庭审。法庭辩论阶段,原告华强厂坚持认为镇政府的行政行为违法,被告热淖镇政府牛镇长认为镇政府是正确行使自己的权力,为了村民的利益,保护了环境。最终,法院作出如下裁判:一、确认热淖镇政府的行为违法;二、热淖镇政府赔偿华强厂经济损失55万元。
热淖镇的官司输了,心情郁闷的牛镇长回到镇上,却受到了乡亲们的热情迎接。鲁市长旁听完案件后,立即请法院司法部门相关人员在市政府举办了一次依法行政专题讲座。
记得法院的裁判理由中提到:根据《中华人民共和国环境保护法》和《中华人民共和国大气污染防治法》规定,县级以上地方人民政府环境保护行政主管部门,对大气污染防治工作实施统一监督管理,而热淖镇人民政府在无法律规定和授权的情况下,超越职权,强行关停企业的行为,应确认其行政行为违法。是的,而在庭审前包括庭审过程中,坊间舆论对于热淖镇政府也是非常有利,可大家却忽视了依法行政、规范用权的意义所在。
该法治公益微电影给我们传递的信息很多,仿佛又重新学习了一遍《中华人民共和国行政诉讼法》,有着深刻的教育意义。是的,就像鲁市长说的,我们手中的权力,是法律赋予的,要依法行使,不要以为我们的愿望是好的,出发点是好的,往大了说,也是为人民服务,也是代表大多数群众的利益,就可以不依法行使,依法行政是建设社会主义国家最根本的要求。总之,权力不能任性。
虽是短短二十几分钟的微电影,却表现了大题材,直面大改革。该微电影精品演绎了行政审判发展中的政府、司法机关、社会等众多角色的博弈和进步,记录了法院在立案登记制改革、行政首长出庭应诉等司法改革进程中的实践。看后,内心确实受到了震撼,甚至不知该如何用语言来表达此刻的想法,对未来法治发展有了更多的思考,也期待更多这样优秀电影电视作品的出现。
官不私亲,法不遗爱,上下无事,唯法所在。
微电影《一场雾霾引发的官司》引发了对法治“新”理念的思考,同时对环保问题有了新思考。这部电影讲述的了牛镇长是一位环保意识极强的基层行政领导,一心的想要保护和改善生态环境,当有人向他反映华强厂冒黑烟污染环境,牛镇长便带者执法队的同志强行关掉了华强厂的锅炉设备。镇政府这样的行为给华强厂的生产带来了损失,他们在找市长评理后却没有得到回复,最后一纸诉状把镇政府告上了法庭。无论是镇长自己还是镇里的老百姓都认为这次官司稳操胜券,但是结局却不是他们所期盼的那样,牛镇长的行为最终并没有得到法院的认可,并最终被判定违法,虽然败诉但是却赢得了乡亲们的支持。
我们不经会想为什么乡亲们都觉得牛镇长做了正确的事情,却得不到法院的支持呢?因为牛镇长在处理这件事情的过程中超越职权,违反了法律规定。法院是维护正义的代表,对任何人都是平等的,行政执法者仅仅有为人民服务的愿望和出发点是好的,但是权力是不能任性而为的,即使你是代表了群众的利益也是不可以。这就是这部微电影要宣传的法治新理念,仅仅是宣传法治理念是不够,更应该通过更强制的手段杜绝此类事件在现实生活中的出现,从这场民告官的官司中更引起了我们的警示。
法治意识。影片中牛镇长认为关闭华强厂是做了对的事情,但是却没有得到法院的支持,因此懊恼不已。因为他任性行为,超越了职权,不顾法律的约束强行关闭了他认为的有污染问题的华强厂的问题锅炉,结果就是本应该为民利益着想的事情却造成了行政违法行为,在法律上没有立脚点,他还认为法院和环保部门的合理做法是在帮助排污企业,但是最后他还是知错能改,也在积极的学习法律知识。但是华强厂的老板就是个懂法的人,在得知被查封后并没有擅自拆封封条,而是寻求正确的途径进行维权,维护自己的合法权利。从这两个人物中可以看出法治意识非常重要,现在我们生活在一个法治社会,要做一个懂法、知法、守法的'公民。首先树立法律至上的理念,行政人员特别是领导干部必须坚持依法行政,要牢固的树立法律理念,一定要在法律规定的范围工作,即使是为了群众的利益,也不能违背法律的规定。其次要树立现代的法制观念,不能超越职权办事,在法律制度和个人利益受到冲突时,要遵守法律高于个人的观念,敢于牺牲自己的利益去维护法律制度,法治高于人治。最后要增强规范意识,提高执法能力,治理是不变的主题,而法治是维护秩序的有效手段。
环保意识。剧中的牛镇长是一位环保意识极强的人,他反对为追求GDP而破坏环境的行为,他不开轿车,而是开着一辆电动摩托车到处跑,当群众举报华强厂有污染时,他果断地关掉了华强厂的锅炉,看见抽烟的同事都要大声的训斥,这些都是牛镇长环保意识的细节表现。剧名叫《一场雾霾引发的官司》其中的雾霾引发了环保问题,现在雾霾对我们的威胁已经不是一点点,或者说是轻描淡写的事情,它已经严重了影响了我们的生活,必须引起重视,而雾霾也只是环保问题中的一点。其实很多环保问题都是我们人类自己造成的,比如滥伐森林、滥用矿产资源、任意的排放有害物质等等,当我们在抱怨天不再蓝,水不再清,空气不再清新时,是否为自己的行为反思过呢?凡事都有因果循环,保护环境迫在眉睫。首先让环保成为一种意识形态,相关部门可以通过电视、广播、书本等传播方式宣传环境问题,让人们正视自己的错误重视环境问题。其次让环保成为一种规范,当人们已经认识自己的周围存在环境问题,就应该明白要怎么去做,并且时刻规范自己的行为,并不是说说而已,在宣传的同时让一切变成实际的行为,让意识和行为相结合才能够到达最大的效果。最后加强环保立法,让法律去规范人们的行为,进行强有力的惩罚才可以深入人心。
《一场雾霾引发的官司》在短短20分钟的剧情中有效的传播了法治理念,同时也警醒人们应该重视环保,保护环境,用法律来维护自己的合法权益。
下面谈谈学习毅力的.问题。如果你有坚强的毅力,那么世界上就没有什么难事。学英语关键是能够持之以恒。
在学习过程中,你应该制订一个计划,一天记住几个单词,一天记住一两个句型。你不要小看“持之以恒”的力量。举个例子:
如果你一天背5个单词一年就是1825个单词,相当于初中三年再加高中一年零两个月的词汇量。如果你坚持两年你就能住3650个单词,相当于中学六年包括本科两年的词汇量。
在制订计划时要遵循以下几项原则:
1、计划要切实可行,不要好高务远。上面的例子已经说明,只要你能坚持天天学习,英语一定能学好。
2、要有坚强的毅力,每天都学习,不因为某些事而耽误了学习。如果哪天的工作没有完成,第二天一定要补上。连续不学习的时间不要超过两天。
3、要有一个帐本,哪天学会了哪几个单词,哪几个句型一定记录在案。
4、为了把单词、句型真正学到手,第二天一定要复习第一天的,第三天一定要复习第二天和第一天的内容。
5、所选择的课本可以是一套或两套,千万别太多。实际学英语的书没有什么好坏之分,只要你能按照一套或两
