I
watched The Pursuit of Happiness & Erin Brockovich in Movie English class.
This
is questions from teacher and my feedback.
1.
In the movie, "The "Pursuit of Happiness", Will Smith tells his
son to "never let anyone tell you that you can't do something".
Q:
What do you think he meant by that? And why did he say that?
A: Will
smith tells his son “never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.” I
think this means that people have a dream, and people should protect it. When
people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t
do it. If you want something, go and get it. When people can’t do something,
people say others “you can’t do it.” It’s not always true that you can’t do
something for real if someone can’t do something and someone tell you “you
can’t do it.” Anyway I construed that not care what someone might say and
advance in the direction of own dream.
2.
In the movie, "The "Pursuit of Happiness", Will Smith shows up
for an interview for an internship position at a famous stock broking company
wearing regular clothes and covered in paint.
Q:
Why did he show up like that? And why did he get the internship position? What
would you have done in that situation?
A: Chris
showed up for an interview for an internship wearing regular clothes and
covered in paint because he couldn’t pay parking fine and spent the night in a
police cell. So he tried interview wearing shabby clothes. Chris was
salesperson of medical device but it wasn’t sale well. So he and Linda got
divorced because tight budget. And he decided that working at brokerage house.
Chris used a Rubik’s Cube to get publicity for the company’s manager of the
personnel affairs section. If I were in his shoes, I not know what I will do.
Anyway I will do my best with things that are in front of my eyes.
3.
In the movie, "Erin Brockovich", Julia Roberts who plays Erin in the
movie, got a job at as a small law film.
Q:
How did she end up working there? Do you agree or disagree with her approach to
getting the job?
A: She
was turned down by Ed what working at Ed’s law firm. But she wasn’t leaving
till the hire at there. I agree her approach because she has passion to want to
working at there and eventually, she could work at there.
4.
In the movie, "Erin Brockovich", Julia Roberts talks about life not
always turning out the way we expect it to.
Q:
What do you think she meant by that? Give examples from the movie.
A:Erin was
beauty queen when she was teenager. And she imagined some bright future. But
the reality turned out to be very different. So she made an effort and
successful. It’s not what she had in mind but she thought that she’s life is
great.
5.
Both movies are true stories about people who were able to overcome extreme
financial hardships.
Q:
Why do you think the protagonists of these two movies were able to win over
their circumstances? Give specific examples from the movies.
A: Chris
and Erin looks like each other. Everything happens to them. They had a
difficult life. But they have guts. Chris is adaptable to people and he have a
quick mind. Erin is powerful women who a person deep humanity, and
have a strong sense of justice. They are far from shiny in appearance but
people who meet with them are get turned on by them charm. And Chris and Erin
have kids. They kids were the source of energy and power for them.
