MOVIE : THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

DATE: 22 FEBRUARY 2011

TIME: 8.30PM

LOCATION: DEWAN CERUN

How to happy?Is happiness achievable?Is the "Pursuit of Happiness " is an empty slogan?All these questions can be found through this movie.

 Pursuit of Happiness is a 2006 American biographical drama film based on Chris Gardner's nearly one-year struggle with homelessness. Directed by Gabriele Muccino, the film features Will Smith as Gardner, an on-and-off-homeless salesman-turned stockbroker. Smith's son which Jaden Smith co-stars, making his film debut as Gardner's son Christopher Jr.

This story was a story about a man named Christopher Gardner. He has invested heavily in a device known as "Bone Density Scanner". He feels like he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. As Gardner tries to figure out out to sell them , his wife leaves him, he loses everything with he loses his house, bank account and credit card. This circumstances had forced him to  live out in the streets with his son. Gardner is desperate to find a steady job, he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training and in mean while to sell his devices.

After watched this movie, my feeling had moved by the role played as Gardner. Everyone have the chance to experience happiness in their life but to achieve it, they must through many difficulties and obstacle that might stop them from have it. Based on this movie, happiness is not about being rich by having a luxury car, home or etc but we feel the happiness when we receive a new that we had been accepted to work at the company after struggle for few months in hard life. It is hard actually for human to experience the true meaning of happiness because sometime happiness that we always got from time to time is not a real happiness. We smile when we in happiness but inside we knew that we just pretending to the world like we really in happiness. 

"The Pursuit of Happiness" also teach us as human being, we can do anything to survive in this world even we need to sleep in the toilet and don't have money in our pocket as long as we are stay together with someone that we love and appreciate so much. Gardner still can manage his problem with his son that always stay behind him that might give him inspiration and spirit to continue living as he knew that he need to work harder in order to find more money to give his son a better life. He don't want his son have the same life like him as we can see that Gardner always teach his son about the world and encourage him to not give up on what his son already plan for the future. 

From the movie, I also believes that not everyone in this world shared a same meaning of happiness in the life. For Gardner, by being accepted to work was his happiness that he never feel before. Everybody has their own definition of happiness and only them know what is happiness. Some people believe by having money, higher education and been known in society can bring happiness but not for me. My happiness is being together with my family and can see them everyday in my life. Money, car, big house or other cannot compete with my own definition of happiness. Just believe that when we pursuit the happiness, we will get it as we work hard to get it. It is not possible for people to feel the happiness as they know how to reach it.

MOVIE - THE PIANIST

THE PIANIST

 

The Pianist - one of the movie that had move my feeling into it. The life of a pianist during the world war and how can he survive after has through many difficult moment separate with his family. From the beginning of the movie, it seems not really interesting but when I keep watching it carefully and try to put myself in his place, I just can understand the feeling of being alone and need to be careful every time and every second to survive in the situation. Through the pianist, I can feel how hard he tried to keep his spirit for not let down and not give up with his life even though in the situation of war, he can be killed anytime.

One thing for sure, his passion or his interested in music has help him to survive which the music or the melody of the piano he played had gave him inspiration and strength to continue his life.  From the beginning of the movie, we can see how his brother always condemn him about his interest to piano but at last the piano had save his life from being killed by the captain of the army.

 

                                                                          

The captain was among the army under the dictator leader which were Adolf Hitler. All of us knew that Adolf Hitler was a cruel and had order to kill all the Jews in the country but still the captain who had caught the pianist at the desolate wasteland of bricks and rubble. Even when the Captain found him at the place but he didn't kill the pianist when he knows that he was the pianist.Hosenfeld or the captain had moved by Szpilman's playing, helps him survive and allowing him to continue hiding in the attic even after the house is established as the Captain's headquarters. Hosenfeld eventually abandons the house with his staff when the Russian army draws closer to Warsaw. Hosenfeld gives the pianist a final parcel of food and his overcoat. From here we can conclude that, not all the nazi is bad. Deep in their heart sometime have the feeling of not to do what they had to do like to kill the Jews as they knew that not the Jews are bad. From m opinion, the character of the captain has shown us the hidden side that have in their soul or the army. It is truth when someone kill, we call them as a bad person and we need to avoid them but in the reality, they are still a human being. They have feeling of sympathy on other people difficulties and try to help but if the authority about it, they might be punish . This could be the reason why they cannot help the victims or the Jews.

What I'm trying to highlight here is not everyone is perfect. Everyone do a mistake and every mistake that they do will take time to be forgotten. But we have to admit behind all the things happen, there are always have reasons that contribute to another big problem happen. We need to study the reason and evaluate it properly because by knowing the reason, we can give fair judgement and not being bias just for one side. Like people always said, something that easily can be seen is not always the truth. Eyes can always deceive us  but heart cannot lie to us.

MOVIE - From Hell

FROM HELL

From Hell? Wow, the title seem really quite heavy for children to watch and understand it but not for me or my other friends. Yes, from the title we can concluded that this movie is so extreme and must  be fulled with action scene like murdered. When I start watch the movie yesterday, I agreed with the title. It suit with the plots of the movie. From Hell - the movie full with conspiracy and explicit meaning that actors try to tell the audiences. How we cannot expect the old man or the philosophy was the real killer or in the real world was Jack the Ripper. The movie was the reflects of Adolf Hitler century when we can saw people been killed easily in the street and the condition of the street like being in war. There are so messed and people live in bad condition or life . The poor needs to support their life by sale the body especially for the women. The rich society will ignore and isolate the poor society. This movie shows the reality about life where there are full with conspiracy or corrupted in management.

This movie also shown inequalities of Victorian society, contrasting Gull and the wealthy circles he moves in with the hand-to-mouth existence of the women he target while the moral disgust shown at the peccadilloes of the poor with the depths to which the rich are prepared to sink in order to protect the image of propriety and the imaginary anti- Semitic conspiracy theories which divert the police's investigations with the real conspiracy that controls them.

To conclude, I like this movie.

Who is actually ADolf Hitler?

Hello guys..

Today I would like to share with you about Adolf Hitler , ..the side of Adolf Hitler that maybe most of us don't know about it.. I'm not sure whether you all have read this before but I just want to share since I found this  interesting topic about Hitler.. For those who had read this , please comment so we can discuss further about him or the great leader whom applied holocaust during manage the country...

When for the first time I read this page , I'm shocked because I knew Adolf Hitler has known as a cruel person and dictator leader who applied Holocaust that have killed millions of Jews. But when I read this, I feel " owh, really.. I thought he just know how to order his army to kill people and doesn't care about other religions especially Islam as we knew that he start making the holocaust after studied the previous history  of Islam countries."

Emmm, this thing has change my thought a little bit. From my opinion, yes, maybe from his appearance or his world, he is a cruel person but we don't know what is exactly he think and why he acted like that. Something might be happen to him that gave big impact in his life that inspire him to be cruel and have bad perceptions towards JEWS. As example from my reading, I had read that his mother was died because of cancer and before she die, she received a treatment for cancer from a Jews doctor where the doctor used the medicine contains dangerous chemicals. From this example, I can understand why Hitler hate Jews so much and in addition, he has faced with problems in his life involving the Jews that could be encourage him to hate them.

Maybe many of people disagree with me when I said that Hitler is kind but maybe it truth that he is a kind person. Why I say he is a kind person? Well, we as human don't have any right to judge people only based on their attitude or appearance because sometimes what we saw is not all the truth.We must understand them first why they act like that, just like Hitler. Maybe yes, that's truth he had killed a millions of people without any sympathy but we also must find out why he acted like that. Maybe there's something that influenced or inspire him to do it. Or maybe that's the only way for him to show to the world what exactly have in his mind.

I think that's all for now.. if there anyone who not agree with my opinion, you can give your comment here..

Yr comments are welcome here...:)
