UFS211 - Task 8

The movie that I have watched in the class are The Pursuit Of HappyNess(deliberately misspelled). Even though the movie is titled The Pursuit of Happyness, but it is pretty depressing. Yes, the movie is supposed to focus on the struggles of the main protagonist as he chases what seems like a dream. However, every time you think that things are going to get better, they only get even worse for Chris. As Chris and his son move from one slump to another, you begin to wonder is there truly light at the end of the tunnel for this man? This story is about a Chris Gardner. He is a bright and talented but marginally employed salesman. Besides, Chris Gardner is a family man struggling. Despite his valiant attempts to help keep the family afloat, while his wife Thandie Newton and his five years old son named as a Christopher is buckling under the constant strain of financial pressure. No longer able to cope, she reluctantly decides to leave. After his wife leaved him, Chris became a single father, continues doggedly to pursue a better paying job using every sales skill that he knows. He lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, and although there is no salary, he also accepts, hopeful he will end the program with a job and a promising future. Without a financial cushion, Chris and his son are soon evicted from their apartment and forced to sleep in shelters, bus stations, bathrooms, or wherever they can find refuge for the night. Therefore, to despite his troubles, Chris continues to honor his commitment as a loving and caring father, using the affection and trust his son has placed in him as an impetus to overcome the obstacles he faces. If I were a main character in this story, I'll never ever give up to build up my family happiness. I want my family get a blast happiness beside me. I will always try my best in order to give a comfortable life for my family. Moreover, if I in his situation, I will use all my knowledge to some useful job, and establish some business that could help me to change my life and my family. My quotes are "If you got a dream, you must protect it; If you want something, go and get it, don't ever let somebody tell you that you can't do something".
