In 1981, there was an economic crisis in the United States. The streets were full of tramps, and some people even fainted from hunger on the street. At that time, President Reagan was making a dismal economic report on television. In front of the television, there was a man with a sad face. His name was Chris Gardner. He had been unemployed for a long time, and his wife and children had problems eating.
In 2006, his story was adapted into "when happiness knocks on the door", which is regarded as the best inspirational film, supporting many people through that period of confusion.
The hero Chris put all his savings on a kind of medical equipment. As a result, no one bought it and left it idle at home. His wife was forced to work for two jobs and was under great pressure. She was either taunting or glaring at her husband. Chris didn't pay his rent for two months, delayed paying taxes twice, ate too much in his car, and his ticket was dragged away. That's probably what his life was like.
Chris, who had not laughed for a long time, came to a place and found that many people here were very happy. He stopped a man curiously and asked him what he did. The man told him that he was a stockbroker, which buried a dream in his heart.
He wanted to have this happiness, so Chris applied for an internship, but his education was not high. Others didn't want him. Chris didn't give up. He stayed at the company's downstairs every day, waiting for the HR Director to appear. Finally, one day, he met with the personnel director. Chris handed in his resume, but he didn't hear from him again.
One month later, I met the personnel supervisor. In order to win the chance, Chris lied that he wanted to take a taxi and was on the way. Chris introduced himself all the time in the car, but the supervisor didn't pay any attention to him. He kept playing Rubik's cube. This was the most fashionable toy at that time. The supervisor said that it could not be played.
Chris and the supervisor bet, before getting off the bus, the supervisor sneered and didn't believe it, but her smile gradually disappeared, because Chris had already spelled out the first side, then the second side, and the third side. At this time, just after the car arrived at the destination, Chris finished the spelling, and the supervisor was stunned. He looked at the young man for the first time.
After the supervisor got off the bus, Chris couldn't afford to pay the fare of $17. He had to apologize while running away. In pursuit, the instrument fell on the subway platform and his monthly living expenses were gone. Chris was very sad. The sweat and rain fell from his face.
Soon his wife said he would leave him, and Chris was determined to take care of the children himself. Just after taking the child home, the landlord came to ask him to move. Chris asked for a week's grace and promised to help the landlord paint the house. The only good thing is that the personnel supervisor called to inform him of the interview. Chris, the painter, heard a knock on the door, but he was caught by the police for failing to pay the fine for too long.
At the police station, he pleaded, but still had to be detained for a day, so Chris had to ask his wife to take care of the children for another night. Just released the next day, the interview time is about to come, he has no time to change clothes, running towards the company.
It was a top talent interview. Chris, dressed casually and painted all over his face, made the HR director look silly. Chris smiles and shakes hands with everyone. The boss looks unhappy. Chris is honest about what he has just suffered. Under the boss's ultimate difficulties, Chris resolves it with a joke, passes the interview smoothly and gets the internship opportunity.
But there was no salary during the internship, so he decided to fight back and fight hard. The landlord drove them away, and the father and son stayed in the hotel. The company's banquet conditions are suffocating. Only one of the 20 interns will be recruited. The assessment depends on the performance and the final exam.
Chris had to be a fool and work hard. Soon a big client asked him to arrive within 20 minutes, but he was late because of one of his superiors' difficulties, and the client left. At the weekend, Chris took his son to the door to apologize. The client asked them to watch the ball game together. Although there was no deal in the end, he broadened his contacts and life seemed to be getting better.
But then bad luck came again. All the deposits were forced to be collected, and the innkeeper let the father and son go out of the house. Homeless and desperate, Chris and his son came to the subway station, looking at his son, Chris felt guilty. He tried every means to amuse his son. He regarded the only broken medical instrument as a time machine. When he imagined a good time, they did not have a good time. This kind of hopeless imagination softened the desolation and joy and made people cry.
They huddled in the toilet, and the strong man finally cried. It's a low point among Chris, and it's one of the most famous scenes in the film.
The next day, he continued to work. After work, he was busy queuing up in the homeless shelter. The economic crisis left a long line here. There were only four places left. However, a tramp cut into the queue. Chris fought with him angrily.
With the help of others, Chris finally went in. Late at night to repair the scanner, through the window through the street lamp light reading, work hard during the day, after work desperately to grab a bed, so the sad day and night.
When the final exam came, Chris handed in his second paper. Downstairs, the boss asked Chris to borrow 5 yuan. Chris hesitated. It didn't matter to others. It was too important for him. He borrowed it. Soon Chris couldn't live and had to go to the hospital to sell blood. Chris is crazy. He's not crazy about the scanner. He's really happy.
On the last day of the internship, Chris was calm. It might not matter what the outcome was. At least he survived. A colleague asked him to go to the office, and Chris knew that the boss wanted to talk to him. Chris was nervous, forced into the office, the boss told him to continue to work the next day, and paid back the last borrowed 5 yuan, Chris tears.
The first time he couldn't speak, Chris kept nodding, trying not to let tears fall. After turning around, Chris could not walk well, and happiness finally knocked on his door. Chris clapped hard in the crowd. He cried, but now he was happier than everyone around him.
At the end of the film, father and son are walking in a beautiful city. A black man passes by. He is the prototype of the story, Chris Gardner.
If your life is very difficult, I hope this movie can give you strength. What he said is the simplest truth. There is no way out. Efforts will definitely pay off.
