Movie is one of my biggest hobbies. Each film has its own beauty, therefore, it’s really hard for me to pick one to be the movie that I like the most. However, according to some films I have watched recently, it is nothing but ‘the pursuit of happiness’ which has great influence on me. The beautiful relationship between father and son is the thing that makes me like it.

‘The pursuit of happiness’ tells us the story of a father and his little son. After a fail investment, the father – which was acted by Will Smith – loses everything: his wife, his house, his money. The only thing that helps the man keep on living is his little son. The whole movie describes those worst days of his life. No money, no place to live, the two men even have to sleep in a public rest – room. I really like the way the main character protects his son, the way he fights against fate and the way he gets back his life. Thanks for the director – Gabriele Muccino – ‘the pursuit of happiness’ has a happy ending. Will Smith is famous for action films but this time, he shows the audience a new appearance.

Rarely can I see such a wonderful movie about relationship between father and son like this. It is a bit embarrassing but I still have to admit that I cried when watching this movie. If you are the type of people who like movies about family, you should not miss ‘the pursuit of happiness’.

I have many hobbies,such as reading,swimming,and watching TV.But reading is my favourite hobby. I like reading for three reasons.First of all,books introduce me to a new world,which is colorful and without time and space limit,Though reading,I can trace back to ancient Egypt,the cradle of human civilization.It can bring myself to the United states,a glamorous land I have been longing to visit.Secondly,reading can better myself by showing me a new horizon.In the past years,most of my knowledge has been obtained form books.I have learned form many

    You Can't Take It with You

    • 1471 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the decade preceding the Second World War, America followed Adam Smith’s economic ideas into the abyss of The Great Depression. Factories went bankrupt, bank closed, millions of people lost their jobs, and most of society was in great distress. This distress produced a great number of works which reflected the public’s discontent with society. The Grapes of Wrath is a great example of those opuses which let oppressed people’s voices be noticed. Frank Capra, rather than simply criticize the cruel truth of society, brought forward his new movie, You Can’t Take it With You, in order to bring a sense of relief with his unique humor. The protagonists of You Can’t Take It With You have opportunities to make their dreams come true: The eccentric Professor Vanderhof’s good nature asserts itself and converts Anthony P. Kirby to do what he likes instead of lusting after money. The Vanderhof family lives together and enjoys life, unconcerned about being homeless. Capra’s romanticism, which is close to naiveté, tells people under the shadow of the Great Depression that “When God Closes A Door, He Leaves A Window Open.”…

    The Chase

    The Chase shows the likeness between kids and their adult counterparts through analyzing the differing reactions to exact situations. The happiness seems to be the main focus, yet the sadness that is uncovered through the inevitable down-hill slide of the emotions that the child experienced as she realized that the sadness and come-back-to-earth feelings were inevitable and there was no way to make the feeling last forever. She fell out of her own world abruptly and the man showed them that now everyone cherishes their inner child and the burden of adult responsibility that squashes or suppresses the subconscious child. The children do their duty and listen to the man and know that this is how it is “supposed” to be and any other reaction would be “wrong” in the sense that there is a stencil for every situation to fall in to and the excess was unacceptable. The child realizes that this is inevitable, there is no way she can avoid it and wishes to cherish what she has access to now before she loses all connection to that part of herself. This is not encouraging children to find or go looking for trouble, but to cherish the moments they have and live life to the fullest while abiding by their…

I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…

    The film "The Pursuit of Happiness," never gets old in my opinion. I have had the pleasure of viewing this film plenty of times and it still brings tears to my eyes. It is a directed film by Gabriele Muccino and written by Steve Conrad. This film has been available since December 15, 2006, so I was able to view it from the comforts of my own home. The movie has a PG-13 rating due to some mild language and violence.
