当幸福来敲门
its mind but mostly this: If
America is about the promise of bettering oneself,
why does it have to
be so freaking
hard? In the movie, Jefferson's Declaration of
Independence words about happiness
kept
recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had
to work hard from morning till night, but
still could hardly make a living. Chris
saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of
the Dean
Witter Reynol
ds
brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all
looked “happy,” “Why not
me? “ Christ
wondered. He did have an adorable boy,
Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a
scarecrow of overworked anxiety.
Finally, his wife left Christ because of life
pressure, leaving him
and her five-
year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ
became a single father.
With the failure of his business,
Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they
were driven away
from the flat. They
became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway
station public bathroom or
anywhere
as
a
temporary
shelter.
The
destitution
of
life
was
absolutely
depressing,
but
for
his
son’s future, for his own belief,
Christ never gave up and he still strongly
believed that happiness
would come one
day if he worked hard enough today.
With his great efforts,
Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter,
but there was no pay at
all. So on one
hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on
the other hand, he had to fight
for his
intern work, since only one of the twenty interns
would succeed finally. Besides, he had to
take good care of his son after day
care. However, Christ made it with his amazing
willpower.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a
wife who was not understandable at all (though she
has her
own difficulties) and was in
bad luck with his business. But he was very
fortunate also, for he got
a son who
was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life
experiences always make a great person.

intentions. He struggles
through
childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His
'mama' teaches him the ways of life
and
leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins

friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins
medals, starts a table tennis craze, creates a
famous shrimp
fishing fleet, inspires
people to jog, create the smiley, write bumper
stickers and songs, donating to
people

this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can
only think of his childhood sweetheart
Jenny. Who has messed up her life. Although in the
end all
he wants to prove is that
anyone can love anyone.

the
baby
boomer
generation having walked through life
blindly.

It
is
the
year
1250
B.C.
during
the
late
Bronze age. Two
emerging
nations
begin
to
clash
after
Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces
Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband
Menelaus, and
sail with him back to
Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was
taken by the Trojans, he
asks his
brother Agamemnom to help him get her back.
Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity
for
power.
So
they
set
off
with
1,000
ships
holding
50,000
Greeks
to
Troy.
With
the
help
of
Achilles, the Greeks are
able to fight the never before defeated Trojans.
But they come to a stop by
Hector,
Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle
struggles, and the foreshadowing of
fate in this remake by Wolfgang
Petersen of Homer's
Trojan War
The Trojan
War
was
a
war waged,
according
to
legend,
against
the
city
of
Troy
in
Asia
Minor
(present-day
Turkey),
by
the
armies
of
the
Achaeans,
after
Paris
of
Troy
stole
Helen
from
her
husband
Menelaus,
king
of
Sparta.
The
war
is
among
the
most
important
events
in
Greek
mythology and was narrated in many
works of Greek literature, of which the two most
famous are
the Iliad and the Odyssey of
Homer. The Iliad relates a part of the last year
of the siege of Troy,
and the Odyssey
describes the journey home of Odysseus, one of the
Achaean leaders. Other parts
of
the
story
were
narrated
in
a
cycle
of
epic
poems,
which
has
only
survived
in
fragments.
Episodes from the
war provided material for Greek tragedy and other
works of Greek literature,
and Roman
poets like Virgil and Ovid.
The
war
sprang
from
a
quarrel
between
the
goddesses
Athena,
Hera
and
Aphrodite,
