快樂多角度(1) - 尋找快樂的故事

本來吾諗住幫依部戲開post,但係我周圍既留言好零散,都係坐低慢慢講我既睇法.

單憑部戲個名,我都一定會入場睇,尋求快樂喎,咁緊要,一定要睇下點樣先可以揾到.

個故仔,其實真係好勵志,Chris作為一個單親爸爸,在極度貧困既情況下,仍然努力工作,主動爭取一切機會,仲要同時可以做一個無微不至既好爸爸.在咁困難既情況之下,當Chris最後終於都爭取到果份佢夢寐以求既投資公司經紀一職,我都好感動,好開心呀.Chris咁努力,今次個天真係無玩佢啦.

但問題係,部戲就咁就完.只係打出字幕,交代話Chris從此平步青雲,賺了很多很多錢.然後,戲院就開燈.

係燈光下我都幾錯愕,吾係呀化,所謂既開心,就係揾到份工果刻,同之後揾到好多錢?只係依個程度既話,部戲應該叫 The Pursuit of Success,或者 The Pursuit of Money,甚至再俗d,叫American Dream算啦.

當揾到份工時,就緊係high啦.廿個揀一個喎,咁都爭贏,真係好似金榜提名,中左狀元咁呀;以後既生活又有着落,吾駛同仔仔再流落街頭,當然會好開心啦.果日,依個世界一定係玫瑰色既.

但係,第二朝呢?依種一登龍門既興奮,真係吾可以維持得幾多日.興奮過後,跟住來既係咪就係壓力呢?投資公司係一個高度競爭性既工,吾好話要出人頭地;就算只要保住個飯碗,都真係要出儘全力.好啦,佢揾到份工,有糧出啦,玫瑰色既魔法就開始慢慢退色.Chris又返到現實既世界.

當Chris全力併榑時,佢仲有冇時間同個仔打籃球同傾偈呢?成部戲之中,除左揾到工果個狂喜之外,阿Chris最開心既,肯定係同個仔一齊既時間.

就算為左慳錢去到餐廳自己吾食飯,但係Chris望住仔仔食得咁開心,佢都笑得好幸福.又比如佢地兩父子搞到要在洗手間過夜之後,第二日要終於揾到露宿者之家,可以真係有熱水有電,阿Chris幫仔仔沖涼果一幕,真係温馨到心都暖曬.咁,當Chris揾到錢,有大把玩具,大把工人,但係就無時間倍個仔時,阿仔又係咪開心?Chris又係咪開心?

我吾係嫌錢腥,亦吾討厭有錢人.要維持基本既生活係一定要錢既.我諗如果仔仔再大少少,佢絶對吾會再想返去洗手間度訓,當係玩山洞遊戲.

但係錢,真係只係錢,只需要適量就夠.李兆基曾經在專訪中講過,不貧不富既人最幸福.窮人吾駛講,福人其實都有好多煩惱.因為太多人揾佢,仲會「匹夫無罪,懷璧其罪」.過左某一數目,錢反而變成負擔.而如果為左錢而犠牲左家人,朋友,健康,咁就真係好吾抵啦.錢就話可以揾得返姐,但係健康同心愛既人,仲係咪可以隨時返來?

如果部戲再講落去,講話Chris在揾到錢之後又有d乜野領悟,咁先係尋找快樂的故事嫁嘛.

大導不如出績集啦!

唉。續集。都不會有厚望。

見佢片尾既幾段文字,基本上就係用佢搵左幾多錢去証明佢既成功,但,我就覺得,唔應該係咁囉。

但,可能,都係既,數字,係最容易最簡單最直接既。

Hi all. I incidentally bump into this forum, and would like to give my idea about the movie and your comments.

The movie only mentioned a very very short part of Chris Gardner's life. A normal person would pursue many different things in his/her life. There is no need to judge whether the movie message is "correct" or not. 10 years later Gardner could be fighting for something different from money or career, who knows?

Moreover, at that part of his life, he did not have much choice over what to pursue: he needed a good job so he could run away from the circumstances.

Personally, I think the most important thing to take away from the movie is this, "Happiness doesn't come to you, you have to go after it. And the process could be very bitter."
