影片簡介
The Pursuit of Happyness 當幸福來敲門
實話實說，The Pursuit of Happyness 的中文譯名《當幸福來敲門》雖然翻譯的很有詩意，但是不能表現(xiàn)出男主角的艱苦奮斗歷程，這個名字聽起來很像言情劇。無論如何，這是一部很不錯的勵志電影，相信各位會看得無比激動、熱淚橫流、熱血沸騰。
另外，片名中Happyness的拼寫錯誤是別具匠心的，它暗指了片中一個意味深長的場景。影片中，Chris看到墻上涂鴉中一個單詞拼寫錯誤，他說了這句話：There is no "y" in happiness, There is "i".
The Pursuit of Happyness is an Academy Award-nominated 2006 drama film produced by Overbrook Entertainment, Escape Artist, and Relativity Media, in association with and released by Columbia Pictures on December 15, 2006. Based on the true story of Chris Gardner, who secured an internship with a stock brokerage firm while homeless, the film stars Will Smith as Gardner and Smith's real-life son Jaden Smith as Gardner's son Christopher. Although the film differs from Gardner's real-life experiences in various respects, it recounts many of the challenging events faced by Gardner while pursuing the internship and caring for Christopher. The title of the movie is derived from the words of Thomas Jefferson in the United States Declaration of Independence; the misspelling of "happiness" refers to a theme in the movie where Gardner is upset that a mural decorating his son's daycare is incorrectly spelled. The film was directed by Gabriele Muccino, an Italian director making his English-language directorial debut. (wikipedia)
