The Pursuit of Happiness

laura

During three day’s holiday, I watched a few old movies .they bring me a lot of new thoughts about life and the relationships between people. I write three passages of three movies which are The Pursuit of Happiness、
  The Pursuit of Happiness tells the mostly true story of Chris Gardner (Smith), a San Francisco salesman of high-density bones scanners. With high hopes and the knowledge he would be the only Bay-area distributor, he spent his life savings buying the devices only for the industry to find them an unnecessary expense. He lugs a machine—which looks like a large sewing machine in its case, or perhaps a time machine, depending on your perspective—from hospital to hospital with little sales success.
  His life is very hard. Ii couldn’t help myself cry from beginning to ending. By the way ,I like crying.  Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. I remembered one sconce he stood in the front of a tall building. He 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. Because of they delaying the rent for three months , they have been driven away from the house. They are sleeping in a room in the subway station. He is sadly cry, The most touching point i saw is this part Christ's crying while he had no place to go but being stuck in that toilet.
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
This song I think should be the background song when he is sadly cry. It can moved and inspired more in terms of art. All the movie tell about happiness , and it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it.”
   Another feeling is that I believe the 50% theory of life. Half the time things are better than normal; on the other hand ,they are worse. So life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what the normal is, and gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.
