第一篇:幸福在哪里——《当幸福来敲门》英文影评
Where Is Happ‚y‛ness
There is an‚I‛in “happiness”.There is no ‚Y‛ in happiness.It’san‚I‛.First I use the lines in The Pursuit of Happyness to show you that I know I made a mistake in the title.What I want to tell you is that it has another meaning.That is “ Why ‘I’ am not in ‘happyness’”.Released in 2006, the film won the 2006 Best Actor Oscar nomination.Willard Smith really did a good job in this film.He succeeded in shaping the role of Chris Gardner——a successful black investor in real life.It is worth mentioning that his son——Jaden Smith still plays his son——Christopher in the film.It tells us a story about how Chris Gardner obtain success through hard working.I’d like to consider this film an inspirational film rather than a biopic.Because it seems there will be more significance we can learn from this film.You want happiness, he wants happiness, and I want happiness, too.Happiness is the thing everyone trying to get.Chris asks “Why couldn’t I look like that(happy).”.Because he is living such a hard life: he hasn’t sold any portable bone density scanner for a long time which he sells for living.In a word, his family has heavy economic burden, because of which he has a bad relationship with his
wife.And his wife left later.Watching here so far, we may think that money means happiness.At least for Chris, money can better his family’s situation, then he may feel happy.In fact, he is helpless.When he was a kid, he can finish an arithmetic textbook in a week.He is good at numbers.So he thought he could be successful.But the fact beats the dream.When he gets the chance to practice in Dean Witter Reynolds, he goes for his dream again——to be a stockbroker.We are familiar with how the story goes next, it is nothing more than working hard, dealing with different kinds of difficulties, and succeeding.It seems the whole story has nothing new, just like most other biopic.It is actually an “American Dream” , which contains money, honor, status and so on.The United States in eighties was in a mass, suffering from the aftermath left by the Vietnam War, the bad state of economy…everything looked so ugly.People badly needed hope.It was under such situation that Chris Gardner broke the shackles of life, accomplishing his own “American Dream”.The director sets many small hints in the film, all of which have implication.For example, “People have rights to pursue
happiness” in the Declaration of Independence, and the gospel music——God save the Queen.All of these transfer positive energy to us.The main idea of the film is the line :You have a dream, you got to protect it.And the answer of “Where is happiness” goes without saying.

A Review of《The Pursuit of Happiness》
I have seen《The Pursuit of Happiness》 several days ago , but I can‟t forget Chris and his spirits until now.To be honest , this move is really a big shock to me , and the strong power in Chris has been influencing me all the time.Characters and the climate There are mainly three characters : Chris Gardner、Christopher、Linda ,and the leading character is Chris Gardner ,the father.The whole atmosphere is positive ,though there is a large part describing the bitter struggles of Chris ,his spirit is inspiring , and there is no disappear but hope and stable belief in happiness.Development of events
The story of Chris Gardner is divided into six part ,I will introduce them one by one.Part one : Riding the bus It was in San Francisco 1981, Chris spent all his money on buying medical equipments , but later he found that they were unpopular among doctors ,because they were expensive and almost useless.everyday he did his best to promote the equipment to doctors ,but he can‟t earn enough for the rent and kindergarten , his life was difficult.Part two: Being stupid In this part ,Chris had to apply for a work as a stock woker ,so he left the medical equipment with a girl ,but the girl took it away!what a accident!Part three : Running He ran after the girl who had stolen the equipment ,finally ,he took it back ,another situation is that he had no money for the taxi ,so he escaped;eventually,he was sent to the prison for owing the taxes ,and the next morning ,he ran to the stock company for a interview with paint stains on his body.Part four : Internship Chris got the job as a internship for six months without salary ,it was really a hard time for him ,he had to sell the equipment while working as a internship.Afterall , he earned some money from the medical equipments
Part five : Paying taxes In this part ,there was a big hit to him ,the government took $600 from his account and he only had $21.33 left ,he was broke again.this part was the most impressive but inspiring one.During that time ,he and his son spent a night in the WC ,and lived in the church hospice for many days ,although there were many barriers ,he carried on seeking for the happiness.Part six : Happiness It was an exciting part ,Chris was succeed ,and he did it finally ,he became a successful stock worker!
My views on the story
After the move ,I thought of many things :we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equally , that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights ,that among these are life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.I think Chris must have read the above paragraph for many times and believed it unswervingly.At the beginning of the move, after Chris has sent Christopher to the kindergarten , he saw a wrong word on the wall ,and said the famous sentence : There is no „Y‟ in happiness ,the only thing we can do is striving for our own happiness voluntarily.Just like Chris do.The silly scene of taking a bus was a part of Chris Gardner‟s life , in the move , Chris Gardner ,a poor father ,who had his wife left him ,because she could‟t handle her life without financial security.while Chris was selling medical equipment to doctors , she decided get away from her poor family.Although under great pressure , Chris chose to stick it out, and fight for what he known he can do ,for him ,and for his son.He is strong in spirit ,whatever barriers he meet ,he just continued his work and never stopped running.but it looks like that god likes to play tricks with him , he had gone through more hardships than others before the final success.I think it is really a good move ,we are unique and we are ourselves ,just hold a dream and do what you can do ,and do your best ,don‟t ever let somebody tell you that you can‟t do something.If you want something ,go and get it.It is said that the move is from a true story ,so we should believe the sentence that “Everything is possible”.Like Chris‟s forefathers ,who posses the desire and the passion to live it ,who dream the American dream.In the end he finally made his dream come true ,he became a banker.“Hey ,dad ,listen to this ,knock, knock ”I know who was there.he was happiness.The Pursuit of Happiness is really an excellent move , after watching it ,I can‟t calm my heart down for a long time,there are tears on my face ,but smile in my heart ,I think Chris is a good example for all of us ,just be optimistic and go to realize your dream.2、I have seen a inspirational film, called “the pursuit of happiness ”.It is based on a true story of the famous of self-made millionaires Chris Gardner Characters and the climate There are mainly three characters : Chris Gardner、Christopher、Linda, and the leading character is Chris Gardner ,the father.The whole atmosphere is positive, though there is a large part describing the bitter struggles of Chris, his spirit is inspiring, and there is no disappear but hope and stable belief in happiness.It could be seen that Chris could not improve his family life through his hard work.What was worse, his wife Linda left him because of the hard life.However, Chris did not give in and give up.He tried his best to build a happy life for his little son and finally he became a successful investor.I think it is really a good movie ,we are unique and we are ourselves,just hold a dream and do what you can do ,and do your best ,don‟t ever let somebody tell you that youcan‟t dosomething.If you want something ,go and get it.It is said that the move is from a true story,so we should believe the sentence that “Everything is possible”.The Pursuit of Happiness is really an excellent move , after watching it ,I can‟t calm my heart down for a long time,there are tears on my face ,but smile in my heart ,I think Chris is a good example for all of us ,just be optimistic and go to realize your dream.3、A Review of《The Pursuit of Happiness》
After the move ,I thought of many things :we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equally , that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights ,that among these are life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.I think Chris must have read the above paragraph for many times and believed it unswervingly.At the beginning of the move, after Chris has sent Christopher to the kindergarten , he saw a wrong word on the wall ,and said the famous sentence : There is no „Y‟ in happiness ,the only thing we can do is striving for our own happiness voluntarily.Just like Chris do.The silly scene of taking a bus was a part of Chris Gardner‟s life , in the move , Chris Gardner ,a poor father ,who had his wife left him ,because she could‟t handle her life without financial security.while Chris was selling medical equipment to doctors , she decided get away from her poor family.Although under great pressure , Chris chose to stick it out, and fight for what he known he can do ,for him ,and for his son.He is strong in spirit ,whatever barriers he meet ,he just continued his work and never stopped running.but it looks like that god likes to play tricks with him , he had gone through more hardships than others before the final success.I think it is really a good move ,we are unique and we are ourselves ,just hold a dream and do what you can do ,and do your best ,don‟t ever let somebody tell you that you can‟t do something.If you want something ,go and get it.It is said that the move is from a true story ,so we should believe the sentence that “Everything is possible”.Like Chris‟s forefathers ,who posses the desire and the passion to live it ,who dream the American dream.In the end he finally made his dream come true ,he became a banker.“Hey ,dad ,listen to this ,knock, knock ”I know who was there.he was happiness.The Pursuit of Happiness is really an excellent move , after watching it ,I can‟t calm my heart down for a long time,there are tears on my face ,but smile in my heart ,I think Chris is a good example for all of us ,just be optimistic and go to realize your dream.The movie “The Pursuit of Happiness”, Will Smith portrays Chris Gardner, aman pursuing a dream.Gardner is a salesman for a piece of medical equipment whichis too expensive for what it is worth.After going months without any sales, his wife decides to start a better life, leaving him alone to raise their son, Christopher(Jaden Smith).After Gardner's wife leaves, he continues to try to sell the medical device.He then sees an opening to his future as a stock broker.The only problem is that, in order to be considered for the job, he must complete a highly competitive, six-month, unpaid internship.He does everything he can to prove to his boss, himself, and his son, that he can be a better man, even if this means living in hotels, homeless shelters, or even the bathroom of a subway station.While completing the internship, he continues to attempt to sell the equipment to make ends meet and pay for his son's day care.This is a classic story of a family living in poverty working their way up the social ladder towards happiness, and doing whatever it takes to reach the top.One of the main messages of “The Pursuit of Happiness” is 'never give up.' Chris Gardner goes from just barely having enough money to pay the rent to having nothing but the clothes on his back, and the love and faith of his son.Gardner was able to dodge anything and everything that life threw at him and became a top stock broker.This film is not as much about finding a job and making money as much 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, Jefferson's 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.
第三篇:当幸福来敲门影评
这是部令人感动的电影,在这部电影里,导演给了我们许多幸福的暗示,展现了很多当下社会的现状和个人的信仰与不懈。在这电影里,每个人都会看到自己的影子,这个中滋味,每个人都有着不同的体会。或辛酸,或痛楚,或喜悦,或悲怜,但都是那么接近生活。只是当我们以一个旁观者的身份来看时,有些东西会清楚。
首先,对幸福的定义是本片所突出的一大重点。一是当主角最后成功时,他说他人生的这部分叫“幸福”。二是主角和他的儿子一同经历着流浪,赶车,挤房子的过程。前者是浅层次的物质的幸福,也是被很多人所鄙夷的幸福。但是谁都不可以否认这不是一种幸福,它很现实,没有面包,又如何跳舞?后者是深层的幸福,这种幸福只有当事人才能够真正的明白。相互依靠的温暖,共同面对的坚持,一同经历的陪伴。就像孩子对他说:“你是一个好爸爸。”就像他们在玩时光机的游戏。就像他们睡前的玩笑。这对很多人来说都是一种奢望呀!两种幸福在我看来,真正的区别在于长短,前者是短暂的,当生命被物质所满足时,剩下的也只有无聊和空虚。幸福也只在那一瞬间的成就感里。后者的幸福却值得一生回味,它使人愉悦和满足。但是当局者却很少能体会着。影片中造就给予了暗示,就是上帝那个故事"有个人掉进了大海里,有艘船过来救他,他说不用上帝回来救他的。接着又有一艘过来,那人一样的回答。最后他死了,在天堂里他问上帝为什么不救他,上帝说我不是派两艘船去救你了吗。”有时,我们要看见我们得到了什么,而不要抱怨我们失去了什么。
很喜欢这个男主角,他能够将这样一个生活在社会底层的落魄男人演绎得打动人心,至少,我是真的被感动了。看着他为了交房租和送儿子去幼儿园的学费,整天奔命于各家医院,推销他那不太实用且非常昂贵的扫描仪。之前,他是以为那会给他们的生活带来财富与转机的扫描仪。可总看见医生无奈的脸。看着他羡慕地望着一个证券经纪人的背影,然后站在人群中看着过往的人群,每个人都是一张灿烂微笑的脸,他就想为什么人人都那么开心?除了自己。看着他为了赢得与一个证券经纪人交流的机会与时间,坐上了同一辆车,口中说着分摊车费,到后来才发现,自己身上并无足够的钱,于是,选择,逃车费,于是,便有了一个被汽车拼命追赶的男人的身影,还好,他逃掉了,可该死的地铁车门夹掉了他手中的扫描仪。看着他满怀期待却又有些瑟缩地说出,他想成为一个证券经纪人,他的妻子揶揄地笑与嘲讽。有的时候,男人的理想在女人看来就像是小孩子不着边际的幻想。他本想得到鼓励与支持,却没能得到。看着他的妻子,再也无法忍受这样贫寒的生活,这样毫无起色的生活,而愤然离开,他的忧伤与无助,而他的要求,只是希望儿子能留在他身边。看着他终于从众人中脱颖而出,成为证券公司的实习生,他却犹豫了,这个时候他最需要的是钱,而实习生身份给他的一切中,却不包括这样最重要的东西。但,好在,他坚持了下来。开始了六个月的实习生涯。他的努力,大家有目共睹。看着他落魄到拖欠很久的房租让房东愤然将他们的东西丢在房外,而房间换了锁,他带着疲惫的心,拖着唯一珍爱的儿子,开始流浪,四处找寻住所。便有了父子两人在公共卫生间的角落依偎着,他反锁了门,有人想近来方便之时,他用脚抵着门,不敢出声,脸上的悲伤看得我亦不忍。便有了他带着儿子去救助站排着长长地队,只是为了有一个晚上的住处和一顿果腹之食。天天5点的排队,为了不错过,他只有拼命地赶着工作,然后及时地到那里去等候。便总看见他在不停地跑,后面不远处是个小小的孩子在跟着,这样的场景让人无法不掉泪。到后来,竟然是卖血。
影片的一开始,让我看到了一个经济艰难的家庭,一个疲于奔命的推销员的苦难历程。我能
预感到他的成功。影片的几个镜头让人感喟不已,他的自信,出色的人际 交往能力,很难相信这样的他不会有更多的机会;拎着重物满大街飞奔,冒着生命危险在车流中穿梭,追讨被偷的仪器;被妻子抛弃,独力抚养儿子;被追讨房租,进而扫地出门;会因为18元的的士费而夺门而逃,大喊“sorry”;会为了进入宗教收容所,而撒谎插队;会为了赶时间去排队,坐公车时而枉顾“女士优 先”的绅士礼仪;会在无处住宿时,与儿子玩着幻想的游戏,到他们所谓的“洞穴”——地铁的厕所里过夜,地上垫着手纸,故意将厕所门反锁着;儿子睡着了,而 外面敲门声阵阵,主人公忍住悲泣,第一次流下了男人屈辱的热泪;会为了给儿子一个安定的环境,走投无路时,去卖血缓解困难。凭借着坚韧的毅力,追求幸福的 执着,对儿子深深的爱,最后他成功了。还记得他第二次流泪,是在被接纳进入公司时,他在老板面前已经热泪盈眶,表示感谢,但离去时,他显得很平静;走在人 潮中,他激动万分,不知该怎样表达、宣泄自己的激动与喜悦,最后他跑到儿子所在的幼儿园,一把抱住儿子,紧紧的,流下了热泪。不知道,他那段经历是困难,还是幸福。他在追求幸福,其实幸福早就在他身边,他拥有儿子对他的信任,他对儿子深深的爱。这是伟大的父爱,也是一个追求幸福者的楷模,他让所有在困境中 的人感到震撼,更让处在安逸之中的人们汗颜。“别让人家跟你说,你成不了大器,……你有梦想的话,就得保护它” 幸福自己会来敲门,生活也能得到解脱。
影片曾几度湿润了我的眼眶,看着克里斯为了改变生活窘境而每天提着他那举全部家当购置的扫描仪奔波于各大医院去销售,尽情“享受”着医生的拒绝和揶 揄,而回家后却还要小心地安抚妻儿,心里不禁一阵阵心疼。终于,妻子再也无法忍受这样贫寒而又毫无起色的生活,愤然离开。他的忧伤与无助又一次刺疼了我,生活在煎熬着他,看着房东愤然将他和儿子的东西丢在房外,而他只能带着疲惫的心,拖着心爱儿子,开始流浪,四处找寻住所。当父子两人在公共卫生间的角落依 偎着,有人想近来方便之时,而他用脚抵着反锁了门,不敢出声,痛苦伤心的泪水顺腮而下时,我一阵心酸……生活,竟是如此折磨着一个人。后来的日子里,便有 了他带着儿子去救助站排着长长地队,只是为了有一个晚上的住处和一顿果腹之食。天天5点钟排队,为了不错过,他只有拼命地赶着工作,然后及时地到那里去等 候。认识他的人总看见他在不停地跑,后面不远处是个小小的孩子在跟着,这样的场景让人无法不掉泪。后来,他成功了,这也许和中国电影有着相似的情节吧,“种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆吧”,也许这是必然,付出了艰辛,总要收获希望吧。克里斯最终得到的幸福,当老板告诉克里斯·加纳正式加入公司时,他眼中充满了泪 水。克里斯·加纳冲到托儿所与宝贝儿子深情相拥。是啊当幸福来敲门”,我该怎么做呢?我是否能够马上开门,把他留住呢?其实,幸福只是个人感受,只要心中怀有 希望,幸福一定会敲想你的房门。
电影让我感触很多,困难最终没有征服克里斯的 坚强,在经历了失败,失败,失败,还是失败,但最后还是苦尽甘来。《当幸福来敲门》让我学到了很多:要树立明确的目标;要有认真、执着的精神;要懂得抓住 每一次机会,还要有责任心等等。命运是掌握在自己手里的,你可以一夜之间是富翁,也可以是一夜之间成一个无家可归的人,当一切发生的时候不要气馁,在哪跌 倒在哪爬起来,相信只要不断地付出努力,一切会变得好起来,不要被命运吓到,更不要被自己打败。总有雨过天晴的时候,人生不可能一直是低谷。这部影片给我 在以后的人生的路途增添了更大的信心。
其实主人公由最初的为生活而奔波到最后得到工作,这并不是偶然的。仔细观察主人公的面部表情,不难发现无论在何种境况下,他都没有被生活的磨难击垮,他都 始终保持着他独特的笑容。在父子俩沦落到必须在地铁站过夜的地步时,这个硬汉在听到门外强硬的敲门声时,将儿子抱紧,再抱紧,忍不住流下了辛酸的泪水。但 在这个时候,他依然没有失去对
生活的希望。等到两人住到救济站时,他还不忘给儿子讲笑话、哄他、安慰他。儿子克里斯托弗给了他最大的安慰和希望。从最初看 到爸爸妈妈吵架的茫然失措,到妈妈离开以后的逐渐成长,再到跟到爸爸后面像爸爸一样拼命跑,到最后的两人手牵手一起步向幸福明天,这一切的一切都那样真 实,让人不由得不被他们之间的那种深深的父子情所感染。片中还有一个镜头:当爸爸拽着克里斯托弗拼命奔向公共汽车时,他不小心将小机器人——他的玩伴丢在 了马路上,爸爸后来上了车才发现,但已是时间不等人。小克里斯托弗那流泪的脸久久地留在了我的脑海里。片中出现最多的镜头是奔跑,在那样一个经济大萧条的时代,每个人都是那样神色匆忙。克里斯也是从头到尾都在玩命地跟时间赛跑。哪怕就这样,最初的几次,他 也没有能够追上时间的脚步。他感到疲惫,一种浸透了全身的疲惫。如果仅靠奔跑,看来是不能解决多少问题的。因为在那个时候,每个人的时间感觉似乎都不够 用,这个时候就要讲求方法和效率了。其实他的成功,奔跑还不是起最关键的作用。关键是他对人对事的态度,干事的认真的那份劲头以及讲求诚信的良好品质都给 曾接触过他的人留下了良好的印象。每一个细节他都认真去做好,一次不行两次,两次不行三次,直至最后达到自己的标准。当儿子在救济站睡下后,他还接着走廊 的灯光埋头苦读营销的书籍。到最后考试时他第一个交了试卷,心中也是自信的。其实他的成功真是一波三折。本来第一次面试应该可以通过的,可是阴差阳错,由 于被警察拘留了一宿,第二天一早穿着满是涂料的T恤去面试,后果可想而知。不过,由于面试官之一的戈登先生在跟克里斯打过几次交道以后发现他真的是一个很 不错的干事业的人。最终帮助他得到了第二次机会。
无法忘记父子在篮球场上的那段对话
“别让人家说你成不了大器,包括我,好吗?”
“你有梦想的话你就得去保护它”
“那些自己没有成材的人会说你也不能成材”
无法忘记克里斯?加德纳现实生活中的无数次无奈的奔跑
有追赶小贼时的后悔
有妻子出走时的心酸
有急于面试时的焦虑
有出租车逃票时的无奈
“我生活的这一部分叫做搭公车”——故事开始
已近而立之年的克里斯?加德纳(威尔?史密斯),生活落魄,事业不成,每天跑来跑去想尽一切办法卖骨密度扫描仪,一次偶然的机会,使他认识到做证券经纪人,只要懂数字和人际关系就可以做到后,就主动去找维特证券的经理Jay twistle,并凭借自己的执着和睿智,得到了一个实习的机会。

《当幸福来敲门》影评
幸福是什么?一个问到烂的问题。我不知道,用男主角的话说就是“我是这样的一个人:如果你问的问题我不知道答案,我会直接告诉你“我不知道”,但我向你保证,我知道如何寻找答案,而且我一定会找出答案的。”
当幸福来敲门,只是,幸福永远也不会来响敲我们那破旧的大门。它会远远地等在前面,等着我们前去追逐。可以说,这部电影其实一点都不出人意外,甚至俗不可耐。然而,在看这部电影的时候我们自然而然地被它感动;我没办法说,这不是一部成功的电影。
羡慕他人的幸福生活;发现通往幸福大门的困厄之途;努力奋斗之后实现了自己的梦想。一直到这里,这部电影的主剧情跟所有任何一部励志电影并无多大区别。但是我依旧喜欢这部电影,它所让我感动的地方在于励志并不那么刻意,煽情得不做作,在细节处理上细腻而温情。
给我印象最深刻的是无家可归的父子留连在地铁站上的长椅上相顾无言。玩一个并不好玩的游戏,想像着周围凶险的环境以及可怕的猛兽,找一个山洞,父子俩相互依靠着取暖睡觉。当然,地铁站里不可能有山洞;克里斯带着儿子躺在用卫生纸铺在厕所里的地板上蜷缩着。
一个男人的泪水;纵然这个男人已经两鬓斑白,这个场景依旧让人感动。那是一个中年男人对自己五岁儿子的愧疚、责任、年近中年却依旧一事无成的挫败感以及对幸福最热切的渴望。捂着儿子的耳朵不让他听到外面喧嚣的拍打着门的声音,那是他唯一有能力保护儿子的表现。
幸福,并不仅仅只是物质财富的积累。发自内心深处的幸福的笑脸,精神上的富足同样是必不可少的。这部电影耗费了许多篇幅来描绘类似这种亲子交流,也数着克里斯的所有积蓄来安排他最艰难的生活。
在我看来,就算妻子离开了克里斯,他和儿子两个人那段相依为命的艰苦时光也依旧显得感人而幸福。自述,一个男人的呢喃自语。对于幸福的追求,就算他的账户里只剩下最后的21.33元依旧也不放弃。但是他必须安置儿子的吃饭和睡觉,从梦想到现实,只是一纸之遥。
置之死地而后生,当一个男人处于他的这种境况的时候,多少人会绝望呢。也许,没有得来的艰辛;也不会在得来之后知足而感恩。能暂时没有太多负担地追求梦想,至少已经是件幸福的事了。从某种程度上来看,这部电影给了我一个反思的时间,关于生活、梦想、未来。
物质的财富也许并不意味着所有的幸福,他和儿子在这段艰难时光里的相依为命也许才是他最大的财富。当克里斯最终得到那份年薪80万美元的股票经纪的工作喜极而泣,他不再对儿子愧疚,不再对生活失望,不再只经历挫败。《独立宣言》规定了所有美国公民享有追求幸福的权利,然而它却不曾对所谓幸福下一个定义。然而在这部电影里看起来,幸福其实也可以很简单。所谓幸福,也许是当我们对着我们深爱的那些人们时;我们可以问心无愧地说,我已经尽了最大的努力给他们我所能给的最好的一切,不论是贫困或者富足。
第五篇:《当幸福来敲门》影评
《当幸福来敲门》影评
摘要 《当幸福来敲门门》是一部以梦想为主题的励志影片。对其英语片名“The pursuit happyness”(追求幸福)中的两个关键词pursuit(追求)和刻意拼写错误的happyness(幸福)的深刻理解,既能帮助我们弄清中英文片名之间的内在联系,又能使我们更好的领悟《当幸福来敲门》这部影片的主题,即只要坚持自我的不断追求,幸福就会敲响我们的大门。关键字《当幸福来敲门》幸福追求
2006年上映的电影 《当幸福来敲门/The Pursuit of Happyness 》是一部以追寻梦想为主题的励志影片。黑人克里斯是一名普普通通的医疗器械推销员,妻子忍受不了经济上的压力离开了他,留下5岁的儿子克里斯托夫和他相依为命。克里斯银行帐户里只剩下21块钱,因为没钱付房租,他和儿子被撵出了公寓。费尽周折,克里斯赢得了在一家著名股票投资公司实习的机会,但是实习期间没有薪水,而且最终只有一人可以成功进入公司。生活中的种种困难都没有打败他,他始终坚守着自己的梦想,与儿子相依为命,凭着自己的努力追求,最终赢取了成功,获得了幸福。
一、幸福需要不断的追求
影片中,主人公克里斯的生活充满了痛苦和挫折,万泉河幸福不沾边,虽然他的梦想的幸福很简单—给儿子一个安定的生活。作为一名医疗器材的推销员,他的工作就是拎着扫描仪穿梭于各家医院,四处推销。因为卖不出去,他面临生活费、房租、交税等各种经济压力终于,甚至还包括儿子的幼儿园费用。妻子终究因为不能忍受养家糊口的的压力,离开他和5岁的儿子。交不起房租的父子俩流落街头。克里斯和儿子在午夜地铁里相对无言,儿子不能理解为什么不能回家住,爸爸却开始玩游戏:“我们通过时光机,到达古代了!”儿子立刻兴奋地配合起来,环顾左右。父子俩在“恐龙”的追杀下,逃到了一个“山洞”里,“山洞”是什么呢,其实是一间男厕所。克里斯搂着熟睡的儿子,坐靠在厕所的墙面。午夜的灯光很惨白,这个消瘦的,营养不良的父亲,默默地流下了泪水。生活中如此多的困难和艰辛,要想获得幸福就要不断的追求。
父子俩依旧为了幸福到来而努力。他们开始住收容所,而面对有限的床位,这个奔跑起来像猎豹一样的人,有时候得把草原上的爆发力运用到打架上面来。儿子在简陋的收容所床上睡着了,父亲还在埋头修理推销的医疗器械,或者翻那本厚厚的笔试全书。
钱包磨损得厉害,而且,太瘪了,每张钱都很熟悉。老板要借5块钱,犹豫再三,摩挲着纸币,最终还是把钱送了出去。卖血。鲜血在塑料袋里面渗开,那是一个男人所能奉献的最后。拿着卖血的钱,克里斯仍然去买电子元件。一点点的希望,都要去坚持。
对于父母,最心酸的事儿是什么呢,就是子女的一点可怜的愿望得不到满足。克里斯托夫的唯一的玩偶,“美国英雄”,在一次挤车的过程中掉到了地上。5岁的男孩悲伤欲绝,克里斯坚硬的表情下,读出的是面对困难的凶狠和惨痛。但是,无论多么深切的无望,都并没有摧毁父子间的亲情与他们的信念,他们相信幸福总会落到自己的身上。“你是个好爸爸”,克里斯托夫跟着爸爸四处流浪,可是孩子的心灵,衡量的砝码和天使是一样的。
克里斯最终成为了投资公司的员工,看似冷漠的白人老板们,此时显出他们的些微温情。他忍住了泪水,颤抖着拿起自己的物品,走入了茫茫人海。在熙熙攘攘的人群中间,克里斯举起手,为自己鼓掌,那无声的,一下下重重的掌声,是在为自己喝彩。幸福不是从天而降的馅饼,他需要你不断的追求,需要你付出艰辛的努力。
二、“幸福”是一个动词
“幸福”——托马斯・杰弗逊在美国《独立宣言》中13次提到的词语——被杰弗逊当作上帝。可是现实生活中还是无法兑现。事业不顺、生活潦倒的克里斯每天奔波于各大医院。生活是苦的,眼泪是咸的。当他路过证券公司看到证券业界人士脸上都挂着得意的微笑时,他意识到了什么是幸福。于是他主动去找维特证券的经理杰・特温斯特,并凭借自己的执著、非凡的妙语,得到了一个实习的机会。实习生共20人,他们必须无薪工作6个月,最后只录用一人。,他为了每天要提前去接放学的孩子而不喝水、不上厕所、不放下电话的听筒;看着他为了争得一个教堂的救济床铺,不得不和流氓吵架、和女士抢车;看着他终于修理好那台唯一可以救活他们的扫描仪后,打开微弱的灯光照亮了整个房间和已安然入睡的儿子„„我们也看到,平时彬彬有礼、看到幼儿园外墙上有涂鸦都无法容忍的父亲,却被生活逼得像条疯狗:不付出租车费、为了14美元和好友翻脸、蛮横无理地插队等。在社会底层挣扎太久的他,生存的问题无形中掩盖了他的美德。影片的结尾让人欣慰的是,当克里斯听到负责人说“你的衬衫很漂亮,明天请继续穿着它来上班,因为明天将是一个新的开始”时,嘴唇翕动却说不出任何话,眼睛里噙满泪水。他冲到楼下淹没在熙熙攘攘的人群中,这时画外音响起“在我人生的这一部分,一小部分,叫做幸福”。幸福只是一个瞬间,可是追求幸福的过程却如此漫长。
电影中的父亲和儿子一直相依为命、相互鼓励,其深切的父子情,不仅是一部影视作品内容本身的精神展现,更富含象征意义。影片用细节和人物对话讴歌了血浓于水的人间亲情。幸福是什么?当克里斯拼命工作时,幸福就是孩子对他的信任;当他获得成功时,他迫不及待跑到幼儿园抱起孩子,心中的幸福感油然而生。幸福,也许就是能够与自己的家人和孩子在一起生活,或者说只有和自己的家人孩子在一起时,才能够有更多的勇气去追求所谓的幸福
