当幸福来敲门(the pursuit of happiness)影评

This movie has a political setting.Before watching this movie, I’ve already heard of and shocked by the words in the declaration of independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and there are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. By the time I watched this movie, I could even recite paragraphs of the declaration.Frankly it was merely interest that appeals to me when I first got to know about the declaration. I copied the first two pages down neatly on my notebooks and struggled to find the connection between sentences. It was hard, let alone the effort to find the relevant connection between those rare words and the foundation of a nation, which stands as the sole super pole in the world now, with a history of less than 300 years.The pursuit of happiness, it sounds strange compared with the strong and short words followed by it. Life and liberty, two clichés in the declarations or announcements concretely exist in our mind. However thinking of pursuit of happiness, chaos stirs in my mind.While the two nouns can be interpreted statically, the pursuit of happiness never exists without action. Just like what Will Smith tries to tell.The setting of the story is common, an average man undergoing obstacles in family life and work. The success of individuals varies while failures often have something to share. The difference of success and failure just lies in the fact that the success acts unique when faced with the same experience, which is called pursuit.What face Chris are consistent dilemma, misfortune and jokes of life. When we bystanders are indifferently watching, Chris holds tough. When we bystanders are shockingly moved, Chris still holds tough. Experiencing toughness, Chris is always equally or even overwhelmingly tough. He lost hiswife, while he kept his son tough. He lost his job, while he kept hunting tough. He fought aggressively on his narrow way to the success. When his car was pulled away he tried his best, seized the last chance to sell another scanner though he hadn’t sold any one out for long. That’s what we call to pursue, to pursue happiness. I still remember what Chris said about happiness: in happiness, there’s an “I” not “y”. In the process of pursuing of happiness, there’s no point in asking why. You are the ultimate and only answer, and eventually, Chris found himself, then the world found him, too.There’s no need for a consideration of the structure or plot of the story. The story itself stands vividly as a description of the pursuit of happiness. An inspiring story developed in this way is well enough to live up to the words in the declaration that all men are granted an unalienable right to pursue happiness. Christ is only an individual example of the fulfilment. What the movie tries to sell is another case of American dream that consistently inspired all generations of America.。

当幸福来敲门(The Pursuit of Happyness)美国电影《当幸福来敲门》(The Pursuit of Happyness)取材真实故事。

故事的主角就是当今美国黑人投资专家Chris Gardner。

成功诠释出一位濒临破产、老婆离家的落魄业务员,如何刻苦耐劳的善尽单亲责任,奋发向上成为股市交易员,最后成为知名的金融投资家的励志故事。

亲子、励志,这样用于定性的字眼放在这部电影上其实是多余的;努力、奋斗、幸福,这样的过程放在这部电影里其实也是多余的。

该如何来形容这部电影呢;它让我想起了周润发早年的那部《阿郎的故事》。

艺术来源于生活也高于生活;一部成功的电影也许并不需要一个万众瞩目的新奇题材,回归于生活,最真实的生活也许也是最高的艺术了。

忘记了那个《独立日》(Independence Day)、《机械公敌》(I, Robot)以及日前《我是传奇》(I Am Legend)等等诸多电影里已经定型成孤胆英雄的威尔•史密斯(Will Smith)吧;相对于那些华丽但喧嚣的动作大片,我也许更喜欢这部电影里的史密斯。

一个已介中年却开始追求起梦想的史密斯;一个落魄得只能带着儿子露宿街头的史密斯;一个为了十四块钱和朋友翻脸的史密斯;以及一个耗尽全力去追求幸福的史密斯。

也许;《独立日》里那种从天而降的灾难,《机械公敌》里那些密谋造反的机器人,《我是传奇》里那种孤独末日都同样离我们太遥远了。

时代的遥远让那个时代里的英雄们同样显得遥不可及;反而不如这部挣扎在贫困底线里的励志亲情电影来得平易近人,也更容易引发我们对生活诸多情绪的共鸣。

梦想;不管在什么时候突然来临,其实都不算太晚。

只要我们还有气力去追逐;于是我们也有了实现梦想的祈望。

这部电影里对于梦想的定义显然是浅显而直白。

史密斯饰演的克里斯走在路上,遇到一个开着法拉利跑车的男人,问他:你是做什么工作的,以及你是如何做到的;他所羡慕的并不是名贵跑车或者体面的工作,而是那些人们发自于内心深处幸福的笑脸。

The comment on film——《The Pursuit of Happiness》The Pursuit of Happiness is an inspirational movie which narrates a story that a father,Chris Gardner, succeeds in business regardless of the failure of marriage and constantly strikes and hits in jobs.Chris is a clever salesman who is always hardworking. Despite his diligence in work, he can’t make ends meet, thus his wife leaves him and his 5-year-old son. Lost in business, becoming a single father, Chris can’t live an easy life. There is only 21 dollars in his account . With no money to pay his rent, he and his son have to move out of the apartment.What impressed me most is that they even have to spend the night living in the park or the public toilet. Without money to pay for food, they stay in the line to accept handouts. No matter how hard their life is, his son always has faith in his father. Chris never feels upset in front of his son but bursts into tears silently. And he believes that as long as he works hard, the happiness is just around the corner.God helps whoever helps them, Chris eventually becomes a successful investment professionals.Although there is no appearance of beautiful actors andactresses, no great pictures and sweet moving background music, it is a good story that educates and impresses us deeply.I learn from the story that once you have a dream, you’ve got to protect it. People can't do something by themselves; they want to tell you can not do it. So don’t be afraid to realize your dream. If Y ou want something, Go get it!。

The Pursuit of Happiness(当幸福来敲门)经典电影英文影评

The Pursuit of Happiness(当幸福来敲门)经典电影英文影评

The Pursuit of Happiness(当幸福来敲门)2006With a title like The Pursuit of Happiness, you expect the characters to get to the promised land. They do, but if the journey matters more than the destination, this is a movie to skip. The Pursuit of Happyness is long, dull, and depressing. It expands into two hours a story that could have been told more effectively in one. This is not the feel-good movie of the season unless you believe that a few moments of good cheer can redeem 110 minutes of gloom. Sitting through The Pursuit of Happiness is a chore. Downbeat movies aren't inherently bad (in fact, many are powerful), but this one provides artificial characters in contrived circumstances. How is it that movies "inspired by a real story" often feel more fake than those fully embedded in the realm of fiction?Will Smith has generated Oscar buzz for his portrayal of Chris Gardner, the real-life guy whose rags-to-riches story forms the basis of the movie. (Impoverished guy becomes capitalist poster boy.) While it's fair to say that this is one of the best straight performances of Smith's career, it didn't blow me away. In and of itself, the acting, while effective, is not Best Actor material, but it wouldn't surprise me if the movie's prestige factor and Smith's popularity earn him a nod. Meanwhile, his female co-star, Thandie Newton, isn't going to be considered for any award. Newton spends about 90% of her screen time doing an impersonation of a harpy: screeching, bitching, and contorting her face into unpleasant expressions. Smith's son, Jaden, is okay as the movie's child protagonist; it's unclear whether his occasional deficiencies are the result of his acting, Steven Conrad's writing, or Gabriele Muccino's direction, but there's not much personality behind the cute features and curly hair.Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is down on his luck. It's 1981 San Francisco and his self-employed business of selling portable bone density scanners isn't doing well. His wife, Linda (Thandie Newton), does nothing but yell at him and give him a cold shoulder, and the lack of domestic harmony is impacting the disposition of his beloved son, Christopher (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith). That's when Chris' life turns into a country song. His wife leaves. He is evicted from his home. He goes to jail, neither passing GO nor collecting a much-needed $200. He gets hit by a car. He is robbed. He makes his son cry. He alienates a friend over $14. He gets to spend a night in the cleanest public restroom in the history of public restrooms. But there's a bright spot, although you need a dark-adapted eye to find it. Despite having no experience, Chris applies to enter an internship program at Dean Witter. He would appear to have no chance to get in until he amazes the head of the program (Brian Howe) by solving the Rubik's Cube puzzle in the back of a taxi cab.It's a blessing that the movie doesn't use a stock villain to impede Chris' herky-jerky trip to the top, because that would have tipped the movie into the empire of the unwatchable. However, the lack of a strong conflict makes the two-hour running length seem very long. Thankfully, there's also not much in the way of overt melodrama, but that could be a byproduct of having characters who are not deeply realized and have narrow emotional ranges. It's tough to connect with Chris and his son. Although they are played by a real-life father and son, there's no chemistry between them. We're constantly told how desperately Chris loves Christopher, but it takes a long time before we begin to buy it. Most of the time, Christopher seems like an annoying piece of baggage that Chris drops off at daycare when he has other things to do.The film's most compelling scenes are those that show Chris struggling to enter the rat race. Granted, this is no Glengarry Glen Ross, but it shows the pressure these salesmen are under and how important the contact lists are. In the overall scheme of things, however, these sequences are background noise. They are neither plentiful nor lengthy. The movie spends more time following Chris on his futile sales rounds for the bone density scanner than it does accompanying him during his broker training.The moral of the story is as trite as they come: don't let anyone convince you to give up on your dreams. Disney animated films have been doing this better for decades. The Pursuit of Happyness concludes with a caption that tells us what happens to Chris after the end of the movie; it promises a better story than the one we have just watched. The film is also marred by a persistent (although not verbose) voiceover that adds nothing to the story while frequently jerking us out of the experience of watching it. I don't need Will Smith telling me: "This part of the story is called 'riding the bus.'"This is the English-language debut of Gabriele Muccino, who has made a name for himself in Italian cinema. The Pursuit of Happiness has the kind of slow, drab tone one occasionally associates with a director raised outside of the Hollywood system. What can be an asset in some circumstances is a detriment in this one. The Pursuit of Happiness isn't enjoyable, and its meager pleasures, including the eventual "payoff," aren't enough to justify the unrelenting misery. The Pursuit of Happiness is competently made and gets lots of the details right, but when it comes to the emotional core of the story, it loses the pursuit and misses the "happiness."No.2 The Pursuit of Happiness(当幸福来敲门)2006Will Smith plays a San Francisco medical equipment salesman who resolves to change his life and become a stockbroker, but is made homeless in the processThe sort of film the Oscars are designed for, The Pursuit Of Happiness should induce nausea. There's the cheesy dialogue ("You want something, go get it - period!"). There's the annoying title, with its deliberate misspelling (a reference to a slogan seen on a wall that becomes the film's mantra). And there's the father and son acting combo of Will Smith and seven-year-old Jaden, who between them serve unapologetically as an advert for the American dream. Yet thanks to Italian director Gabriele Muccino, in his first Hollywood outing, the film holds firm.Set in San Francisco in 1981, at a time when the Rubik's Cube is sweeping the nation, the film is inspired by the real-life story of one Chris Gardner (Smith). A struggling Bay Area salesman, Gardner's product is a "portable bone density scanner", a box of tricks which he believes doctors will soon be clamouring for. But luck deserts Gardner alongside his wife Linda (Newton) and a hippie girl steals one of his scanners.Left with custody of his five-year-old son Christopher (Smith), Gardner is desperate to be a good father, as he didn't know his own Dad until he was 28. A chance encounter with a stockbroker inspires Gardner to change career and secure an internship at a brokerage. Remarkably, he manages to get onto the six-month course, but it's a gamble. "There was no salary," he says. "Not even a reasonable promise of a job." Forced to sell his remaining machines on the weekends, he and Christopher live on the poverty line, and are evicted after Gardner is hit with a crippling tax bill. Looked at cynically, the film boasts one of those heavyweight performances that Hollywood A-list stars occasionally offer in a quest for cachet. In this case Smith lets his hair go grey to convince us that this is no vanity project. But bonding convincingly (as you might expect) with his own son on screen, Smith delivers his most compelling performance since Ali in 2001. Playing Gardner as a decent, honest man who refuses to let life grind him down, it's an inspirational turn.With Muccino (best known for 2001's L'Ultimo Bacio, which was remade in the US in 2005 as The Last Kiss) in charge, Smith's acting is shorn of the usual high-energy tics that have blighted his work. So enchanting is the performance that it overshadows the film's more problematic and manipulative moments, notably the contention that capitalism holds the key to happiness. But this is Will Smith doing Kramer Vs. Kramer and the film never allows us to contemplate its dubious nature for too long.VerdictBetween Muccino's sensitive direction and Smith and son's expertly calibrated performances, The Pursuit Of Happiness manages to win you over with a flurry of feel good emotions.。

当幸福来敲门读后感

当幸福来敲门读后感

《当幸福来敲门》电影评论这个被故意写错的电影名字“The Pursuit of Happyness”,讲述的是在1981年的时候一位叫做Chris Gardner(Will Smith)的日常生活,他是一位丈夫、父亲和卖骨质疏松扫描仪的推销员,但是他的设备只有很少的医生才会去买,因为多数人都负担不起。

我们从一开始的时候就看到了他对待他的孩子Christopher(Jaden Smith)就像对待他的扫描仪那样有热爱和坚持的恒心。

我们也看到他挑剔的妻子Linda(Thandie Newton), 在徘徊纠结了很久之后,最终抛弃了他,以便回到东部过上更好的生活。

Chris竭尽他的所能:应付房租,不交房租,搬进汽车旅馆,每天辛苦的寻找工作,失去所有财产,直到最后他成为了一个数十亿美元的股票经纪人。

他曾经面对过很多的挑战,并展现出了他超越常人的工作态度和能力,直到他的成功,电影达到了高潮。

另外,这部电影还有一个亮点是他在做任何事情的时候都很用心。

由于这部电影是讲述关于美国梦或如何实现美国梦的,所以讨论一下有关这位来自意大利的导演Gabriele Muccino是一件比较有意思的事情。

虽然他不是美国人,但是他能够创造出美丽, 诚实的一番视觉景象,说明在美国开心究竟意味着什么。

之所以出现这种情况,是要让在美国的外国人对他们要做的事情有一个更好的认识,以便在美国去寻找一个好的机会并获得成功。

同时,这也是一个坚持梦想,永不放弃的真实故事。

生活是你自己创造的。

不管生活中遇到什么问题,比如他要经历所有不幸的时刻,为了使儿子过上更好的生活要付出一切努力,他都会站起来,不放弃。

在电影中,你很难不对Will Smith演的这个Chris感到同情。

“The Pursuit of Happyness” 不是一部普通讲述从贫穷到富有的电影。

这是一个真实,原始,且令人着迷的故事,会让你对现在拥有的一切感到鼓舞,反省和欣赏。

老实说,这种类型的好电影非常少,我很喜欢它。

1、The summary of the movie :
The movie tells a story of Negro father who called
Chris Gardner. His wife left him for the poor
economic condition. Before he was appreciated by
an entrepreneur, he lived on selling medical
instruments. It was such difficult work to marketing
