What if Chris doesn't end up getting that position?

The pursuit of Happyness really moved us.
The story is very touching, the actors' performances are in place, and the rhythm music is also good.

However, when I think about it, I always feel that there is something wrong with moving, and one word does not come to mind: false appearances, all false appearances.

It seems that the moment chris first saw the stock exchange company in the movie, we already knew in our hearts what chris would get in the end. So, over the course of the film, we're not appreciating how an ordinary person accomplishes an unusual story, but we've set him up as a person with extraordinary abilities (for example, he's playing The talent in Rubik's Cube), in how to face the unfair treatment of him by the society, as if he did not belong to the position of that little salesman in the first place.

He is on the verge of bankruptcy, his wife has left him, he has no salary for 6 months, and his future is internship. Where does Chris' confidence come from? High rank from more than 10 people in his middle school in a small town? From his number one in the US Navy radar class of 20? At that time, the dream of so many people was to be a stoke broker, and everyone had a certain background. If you can succeed just by working hard, only in the specific atmosphere of this inspirational film will some people believe it.

There may be 100 chris who have chosen such a special path and have the same hard story, but maybe only 2 or 3 have such a result, and the life prototype of chris in the movie is the first after successfully getting that job. 10 years to set up his own company, and become a legendary figure, it is even more unique.

so, i would rather see chris not getting the job at the end of the film, it may be too cruel, but it is more real, it may move me more

    When I was in college, the teacher put it in class. It’s very beautiful and I am very touched.

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Christopher: [to his father, sleeping next to other homeless people] You're a good papa.

  • Christopher Gardner: [during the interview for the internship position] I've been sitting out here for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come up with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I'm sure you all admire here like earnestness, diligence, team-playing. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is, I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.

    Jay Twistle: Parking tickets?

    [employers laugh]

    Christopher Gardner: I ran all the way here from the police station.

    Martin Frohm: What were you doing before you were arrested?

    Christopher Gardner: I was, uh, painting my apartment.
