The Pursuit of Happiness

The pursuit of Happiness is a movie stared by Will Smith and his son. I have watched this movie for twice and was moved to tears every time. The reason that I was touched is not only the perfect performance of players but this was a true story. The authenticity of this story make me believe much more that happiness can be struggled to get. The happy tall figure and small figure in the movie impressed me.

Firstly, the impressing thing was the sincere love between father and son, which can be felt in every scenes of the movie. The father in the movie was a salesman who made a living depending on selling a kind of bone density scanner. When his wife walked out because she couldn't endure the poor and aimless life any more, the father insisted his son had to stay with him. He loved his son and his son's love was the fountain of his struggle. He couldn't lose his son otherwise he would lose the spirit support. When they were evicted from the home because of no much money to pay the rent, they had to stay in subway. In order to let his son have a good sleep, they stayed at the bathroom and locked the door. When someone knocked at the door and even kicked, the father only covered his son's ears tightly, but the tears was shed quietly from his eyes. I believe he must say sorry to them in his heart for many times. Every time I saw this scene, I was moved very much by the love of the father. His son also understood the situation of his father and never complained but giving love and trust to his father.

Secondly, the happiness can be seen in everywhere even though the father and the son faced the extreme difficulties. when they were homeless, the father still told story to let his son happy. When they had to live in the shelter, they could take a bath using sink happily. When the shelter blacked out for saving electricity, the father told the son the reason only was letting them have a good sleep. For the son, a small candy, an occasional game with father all made him happy. The laughter of the son was always heard in the whole movie.

Lastly, the struggle spirit of the father was of course the most touching. Running was a part of this father's life. In order to get a spot in shelter, the father had to finish his work as early as he can and run to stand in line, otherwise they would sleep on the street. In order to get an order, he had to run to the office of customer within 15 minutes that the customer requested because of traffic jam. In the movie, the running figure of the father was often seen, which also means the non-stopping walk of the father. When he finally got the job of stockbroker after a long and hard internship period without pay, he ran into the crowd and shed tears again, but this time was joyful.

This movie ending is happy . The father and the son overcame many difficulties and got happy at last. The original person founded his company later and built the legend in Wall Street. This reminds me a saying " no pain no gain", even " blessing in disguise". The people always lack of courage and persistence when they face barriers. The father of this movie just build an example for us. Whenever and whatever happening, we can't stop the walk to pursue the happiness. " If you want something, go get it......period."
