Movie - Pursuit of Happyness
Chris a young man who
has started out a business to sell bone-density scanners to doctor. He use to spend his days selling this scanner
to different doctor in different part of the city. He had a wife Linda and a
son Christopher. He loved his family a lot and keep telling them to trust him
and he would give them a better a life.
Chris is always
thinking in the positive side. He is always thinking that thing will happen. He
is also being realistic and positive at the same time. He is confident that he
will sell his bone density scanners and earn enough money and pay up the bills,
rent and take care of his family. He has applied to become broker and he knows
that he will work hard and do well in that business so that he has another job
and which pays him well. And the money will go for his family and their basic
needs. Chris is mostly thinking in the eudaimonic thinking, that a state of
being happy and healthy and prosperous meaning fullness. That is here, Chris is
always happy and think of happy thing and staying positive, so by being like
this he thinks that he will be achieves what he wants to achieve in his life
and for his family. He does not ever give up in anything even though he need
work hard and is struggling to have roof for his family too. We see that Chris
keeps on telling his son to stay positive all throughout his life. Even though
they were days where Chris could not have a proper roof for his son and him to
sleep at night he manage to be positive and did something that his son would
feel good. Like there was on scene in the movie that Chris had to take his son
to the metro bathroom and they spent night there. at this time his son was
disappointed and sad and wanted to o home and to his mom, but Chris told him
that they are in the world of dinosaurs and that they have to find and cave and
spend the night in there. Immediately his son was excited and they spent that
in the bathroom in one of the metro line.
Some way on the other
Christopher feels really proud of his father and loved his father for who he
was and not for anything else. Christopher use to be happy and positive for his
dad.
There was another
example in the movie where Chris told his Christopher to be positive about, was
that they would go for a football match after a day of selling the bone-density
scanner. Which by staying realistic happens. They did go for the movie and
there Chris ended making many contact for his business as a broker. This was
one of the main events which happened in the movie. By having so many contacts
and working hard Chris actually got selected to work the Dean Writer Company to
work and have a better life. Chris
always thought of thing that would happen in a good way and positive way that
all things did happen well for him and he has a better life.
Chris’s wife Linda, was
always had a negative thinking. She stopped trusting and left him and went away
to New York. She kept saying that things will not change; you will succeed and
find a better job that will pay you well. The family will suffer and will not
survive with no roof or food to have even though she was working on two shifts
at her job that didn’t pay her well.
Throughout the movie
she did not support her husband much. She only supported him when it came to
taking of Christopher their son.
So we see that Chris
had a Positive and eudaimonic thinking, and has influence his son too, to also
think in such a way and not think in negative way at all. Whereas his wife has
not taken this in account of positivity and has always been negative and also
had negative thoughts.
