"When Happiness Knocks" is an American movie directed by Gabriel Muchino and starring Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Sandy Newton, etc. The film is based on a true story and features Chris Gardner, an African-American investment expert.
The film tells the inspirational story of a down-and-out salesman who is on the verge of bankruptcy and his wife leaves home, how he works hard to fulfill his responsibilities as a single parent, strives to become a first-class trader, and finally becomes a well-known financial investor.
When I ** this film again, I have a different feeling, in this story, it embodies not only inspirational, but also a spiritual supplement, telling us that when we encounter setbacks, we must not give up, even if we have reached a desperate situation, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, we all have to work hard, to fight, sometimes hard work may not necessarily have better results, but if you don't work hard, nothing will ......
The male protagonist of the film also works part-time as a salesman and a mechanical repairman while working as a clerkship for six months without pay, and although he wears three hats, he can watch his son's sleeping face every quiet night, and then delve into the machinery alone under a lamp, which is a blessing for him, standing in a long queue every day to receive relief food, sleeping with his son in a makeshift church room at night, and reading the Bible with the choir in the morning In fact, when we are tired of running around for life and can't find the original happiness, turn around, happiness has always been there, we think too high, it is gradually drifting away, maybe we can still return to the clearest and most open sky at the beginning, and there is no flashy world where we can also find the most sincere happiness at the beginning.
What I can also feel about this movie is the protagonist's pursuit of rekindled dreams, despite the double blow of losing his job and leaving his wife, he can also pick himself up and continue to fulfill his dreams, and he can face the difficulties on the road to pursue his dreams with reason. What impressed me the most was that he went to take an exam for a company, a position with a lot of people competing for, and if he won the exam, he would get a six-month probationary period for the position, and if the probation was successful, he would be able to take up the post, and after the exam, many applicants would take the elevator downstairs together, and in the elevator, the protagonist asked, "How did you write the last essay question?".At this time, the people in the elevator looked at each other, and one person asked, "Is there such a question?"He was shocked, "Didn't you do it?"On the back of the test paper!"In the end, he was the only one who was given a six-month probationary period, which made me feel that a careful move gave him another opportunity, and it was this opportunity that took another step forward. We are never far from our dreams, when the trivial things of life entangle us, remember the original beliefs, and continue to move forward with ideals!
When we feel farther and farther away from happiness and can't feel it, we might as well allow ourselves to calm down and think back to the beginning!Sometimes it is not a desperate situation but a noisy city that breaks us, we rise and fall in the noisy city, we have not been able to find the direction of our efforts, and we cannot land on the vain road, but the protagonist in the movie has found his own piece of sky in the noisy city, not that he is lucky, nor that he works hard, but he knows that this is an opportunity, a post, so many elites, and finally he got it, indicating his intentions, and his careful observation, here I want to say that what we lack at every stage is not opportunities, what is lacking is ability, opportunities are available everywhere, but ability is not。
