篇一：
"The Pursuit of Happyness" is a simple inspirational movie. It is not pretty actors, no fancy pictures, no touching music, but can also attract you read on law-abiding, because it has good enough story, plain but not mediocre!
Two of the film places the novel, though intentionally set, but that is not offensive, not far-fetched, pregnant with meaning.
First: When Chris (Will Smith plays) to see graffiti in the "happyness" spelling error, he said these words: There is no y in happiness, There is i. (y or Why). This line is extremely clever setting, it also aims to express through the entire film. Yes, there is no happiness in the why, the only others only their own happiness. Why blame others than their own happiness is meaningless, only rely on their own can be happy.
Second: when the movie started, Chris was in the crowd jammed the streets to push forward, in the smiling faces in only his bewildered, stood helpless with. And towards the end of the film, Chris was in the same place, look left to meet the emotional tears and applause for his rallying. In the calendar through suffering, sorrow, abandonment, abjection, helplessness, despair, after Chris with patience, hard work and attitude of never giving up in exchange for part of his life, the good old days. So in the moment through the probationary period, Chris is happy.

《当幸福来敲门》是一部简单的励志电影。它没有漂亮的演员、没有花哨的画面、也没有动人的配乐，但却同样可以吸引你安分的看下去，因为它有足够好的故事，平淡却不平庸!
影片里有两个特别新奇的地方，虽然是故意设置的，但却一点都不唐突，不牵强，寓意深刻。
其一：当克里斯(威尔史密斯扮演)看到墙上涂鸦中的“happyness”拼写错误时，他说了这句话：There is no y in happiness, There is i.(y即Why)。这句台词的设置是极其巧妙的，它要表达的宗旨也贯穿了全片。是的，幸福中本就没有为什么，幸福中唯一有的只有自己。埋怨别人为什么比自己幸福是没有意义的，唯有依靠自己才能够得到幸福。
其二： 影片开始时，克里斯在人潮涌动大街上被人流推着前进，在一张张笑脸中唯有他一脸茫然，无助地伫立着。而在影片接近尾声时，克里斯却在同一个地方，一脸满足的留下了动情的眼泪，并为自己鼓掌振臂。在历经过苦难、悲伤、抛弃、落魄、无助、绝望之后，克里斯用忍耐、努力与永不言弃的人生态度换回了属于他的美好时光。所以在通过试用期的那一刻，克里斯是幸福的。
什么是幸福?这个问题自古以来被人问及了无数次，答案却一直莫衷一是。
假如你要幸福，那就去追求。幸福是逼出来的，是追寻来的。
克里斯得到幸福的过程是如此的艰难，也正由于艰难，他们才会珍惜，才会感觉到幸福。圣诞节那天，他和儿子无家可回的流落在车站，他唯有用自己的幽默哄的儿子开心；为了能够赶上在留守所度过一晚，他们一路狂奔只为那有限的留宿名额；为了能够找回朋友韦恩欠他不换的14元钱，他可以三番两次的怒火冲天；他在被汽车撞丢一只鞋子后，可以立即爬起来单鞋跑回去工作.....
然而这一切告诉我们，幸福在艰难的过程里也是要有动力的。在人生最低谷的时候，他可以被妻子抛弃，可以被房东赶出家门，可以被所有的公司拒之门外，但他却拥有着唯一属于他的财富——他的儿子。
他可以在球场上很严肃的对儿子说：“假如你有梦想，那么请保护好它。”在那一刻，他都未必能坚持住自己的梦想，但是他却鼓励儿子能够坚信。
电影《当幸福来敲门》告诉我们：在漫长的人生，幸福永远是短暂的，幸福是当苦难经过努力转变为成功时那一瞬间的感觉。所以，当幸福来敲门时，请你一定要好好的招待它，紧紧的抓住他，别让它在你的指缝中溜走。因为只有你自己才可以让自己感觉幸福！
篇二：当幸福来敲门观后感英文
Watching "The Pursuit of Happyness" tonight was almost a religious experience. Perhaps that is "blasphemous" because, although religion does play a small role in the movie, the overall story is about the triumph of a man against immeasurable odds.
One of the reasons for my "religious" feeling towards the film has to do with the audience that filled the theater for the 9:40 P.M. showing. For one thing, the audience was one of the largest I had seen in an Odessa, Texas theater in a long time. Even more importantly, the audience was definitely one of the most racially diverse groups I have ever seen. But, most important of all was the straight-forward tale "narrated" to us by the main character of the film, Chris Gardner.
All too often in this world, we take for granted what we are given. Sometimes, we accept defeat with barely a whimper. But some people such as Chris Gardner would not allow himself and his son to be defeated although he literally had nothing at one point in his life. Gardner invokes the words and the thoughts of Thomas Jefferson in his quest of happiness that was mentioned in our Declaration of Independence penned primarily by Jefferson. The fact that those words were even included in that document are amazing in themselves. Life, liberty and property rights are more frequently thought of as inalienable rights but the artist in Jefferson included the concept of pursuing happiness.
THE PLOT
If you've seen the trailers or read any of the reviews, you already know that Chris Gardner is a man down on his luck. He has a wife that works double shifts as a waitress and a son who he thinks the world of but is barely able to support. Gardner was abandoned by his own father at three and has vowed that his own children will always know their father.
But, Gardner has sunk his life savings in a "bone density" machine that is barely more efficient than an x-ray machine and far more expensive. His life becomes one "bill collector" nightmare after the other to the point where his wife decides to leave him and his son. After his wife leaves, Gardner's life gets even worse as he is kicked out of his apartment.
By chance one day, Gardner runs into a very happy man with a fancy red car who says he is a stockbroker for a major firm. With no formal training, but with a brilliant mind and a strong will to succeed, Gardner gets a chance, albeit a very small chance, to work for the Dean Witter brokerage firm. While he is studying for the broker test, he and his son are living in abject poverty.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE FILM
Chris Gardner is portrayed to perfection by Will Smith in what is certainly one of the strongest performances of his life. Only his acting in "Ali" come close to his work here although he has had an extremely successful career ("Independence Day", "Men in Black", "Wild, Wild West", "Hitch"). Here, Smith shows both the strength and the courage of a man who is willing to fight against all odds and he does so without "overacting." We see Gardner lose his temper, almost lose his life but never give up on his quest for his and his son's happiness.
Gardner's son, Christopher, is played by Will Smith's real son, Jaden Smith, in his first motion picture role. Young Jaden does a fantastic job as the young boy who can live the life of abject poverty and still praise his father. The naturalness of the portrayal is obvious in every scene which speaks volumes for both father and son's talent.
This "naturalness" is also the result of the excellent directing of Gabriele Muccino, heretofore a director of Italian films as well as the fine screenplay by Steve Conrad ("The Weather Man"). The source material for the film is the book of the same name by the real Chris Gardner.
I also was impressed by the cinematography of Phedon Papamichael who shows both the beauty of San Francisco's richer sections, and the squalor of the downtrodden sections of the city.
The music composed by Andrea Guerra ("Hotel Ruwanda") is perfect for the film and is augmented by music from George Benson and other pop songs from the early 80's.
I went to the film with my wife and two stepdaughters who are in their early twenties. We don't always agree on the relative merits of the films we see. But all of us agreed that this is one of the best films produced in 2006. It shows the amazing strength of one person but represents the best is the American dream. Of course, for all the "Chris Gardners" in this country, there are countless individuals who don't succeed, but this film gives the hope that can be realized by faith in one's self and hard work.
