In
the movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness”, Will Smith told his son to “never let
anyone tell you that you can’t do something”. Here is my opinion of what he
meant by that and why he said that.
He meant to encourage his son and to correct what he said little bit
before. And, not only that, he also meant to encourage himself, because he was
trying to his internship at a famous stock broking company. He didn't have any
job and earn any salary. The situation was so challenging. So, he said “If you
want to do, you go to get.” to his son and himself. Therefore, I think, he
meant to want his son to be like him. For example, he has never given up the
challenging situation and continued effort to get the better situation. He
wanted his son to be like that, and told his son by saying the comments.
In
the movie, “The Pursuit of Happiness”, Will Smith showed up for an interview
for an internship position at a famous stock broking company wearing regular
clothes and covered in paint. Here is my opinion of why he showed up like that,
why he got the internship position and what I would have done in that
situation.
The previous day, he painted the wall in his room. The owner of the
room told him to get out the room because he didn't pay the rent and the wall
would be repainted. So, he promised the owner to paint by himself and asked to
live in the room. When he painted the wall, the police officers came to him,
and he was brought in because of his illegal parking. Eventually, he released
in the morning in the interview day, so he showed up like that.
He talked to one of the interviewers for the internship twice. And,
he solved Rubik’s Cube in front of the man. He tried to show his intelligence
in his way. Then, in the interview, he had a ready wit when the interviewer
asked him “What do you think if he employed the man not wearing shirt?” And he made the interviewers laugh. Then, he
got the internship position.
I would have done nothing in that situation. I would have despaired
of the situation, and given up. Perhaps,
I wouldn't have been to the interview for the internship position like his
clothes. Of course, it is rude for the interviewers, but I wouldn't go like
him. I would have been negative, and couldn't have had a ready wit. However, I
want to be like him. I would try to do my best in that situation. Also, I want to be like his phrase, “When I
don’t know the answer, I say I don’t know. But I know how to find the answer.”
In
the movie, “Erin Brockovich”, Julia Roberts who played Erin in the movie, got a
job at a small law firm. Here is my opinion of how she ended up working there
and which I agree or disagree with her approach to getting the job.
In the beginning part of the movie, Erin took the interview to work
at a hospital. On the way to her house, she was crashed by a sport car. She
visited a small law farm to bring in a lawsuit against the crash. The lawyer in
the law farm and Erin thought they would win with the lawsuit, but it ended in
their defeat. Erin threatened the lawyer with the defeat. Then, she started working
there. I disagree her way to get the job. She had a bad mouth, and it was one
of the reasons for their defeat, but she threatened the lawyer with that. I
disagree that, but I agree her mind to get any job in any way. She needed money to live with her children
and had debt. She had to work, and she didn't miss the chance to get a job. I
agree her effort to get the job.
In
the movie, “Erin Brockovich”, Julia Roberts talked about life not always
turning out the way we expect it to. Here is my opinion of what she meant by
that.
I think she meant that everyone can’t know anything in the future.
When I am in a good situation, I wouldn't expect a bad thing happened after.
And I can’t know how long the bad or good situation continues. It’s the mean of
her words about life not always turning out the way we expect it to.
She was Ms. Wichita, but she did little thing in the position. After
that, she wasn't any good position, and didn't have any good work. Also, she
didn't get married with good husband. It’s one of the examples of her words.
Then, in the movie, she got along with George, and he was a good man. And, she
got a good job to do something for a lot of people. It’s second example. The
harder she worked, the worse the relationship with children and George was. And
George went out. It’s third example.
Both
movies are true stories about people who were able to overcome extreme
financial hardships. Here is my opinion of why the protagonists of these two
movies were able to win over their circumstances.
The protagonists of these two movies were able to win over their
circumstances because they have self-confidence. They always think they can do.
In the interview for the internship position, Will Smith said “When I don’t
know the answer, I say I don’t know. But I know the way how to find the
answer.” The words show he believes himself, and he thinks he can find the
answer. When he was in a difficult situation, he had never given up and said
any negative words. Also, when Erin threatened the lawyer to employ her, she said
to him if he judged she was a useless person, he would fire her. The words show
her self-confidence.
They
also have strong feeling for their past. Will Smith thought he would have been
in better life if he had bought and sold the scanners, but he couldn't. Then,
he thought a stockbroker would be better.
And, he tried the internship position. Erin was Ms. Wichita, and she
wanted to do something for a lot of people in that position, but she couldn't.
When she investigated the lawsuit about carcinogenic chrome, she must think the
job would be for many people suffered by it. Both of them had any regret for
their past position or doing, and they would do something they couldn’t do in
the past.
