As a successful American businessman and inspiring speaker， Chris Gardner used to struggle with homelessness while raising a son. His autobiography （自传）， The Pursuit （追寻） of Happyness， was a bestseller that has been translated into over 40 languages. This book was also made into a movie of the same name in 2006， which has won many awards.

In this movie Chris Gardner， a struggling salesman， is running short of money but is full of ambition （雄心）. The film set in San Francisco， Gardner is stuck in a dead-end job. He is an intelligent， successful workman by day， and a helpless father living in a train station at night.

You will be emotionally tired as you see this hard-working， loving father become more and more hopeless. To make matters worse， he is left to raise his five-year-old son alone after Christopher’s mother leaves them to live in New York. All he wants to do is protect his son， but being a single father is difficult， and being broke only makes it worse. The lines are excellent; but even without dialogue， the actor’s expressions in the movie capture the panic of a father， who is afraid of failing and losing his son.

Throughout the movie， you are hoping Gardner will succeed， and his positive attitude in the face of such difficulties is truly inspiring. Even though the movie is based on a true story， some critics （评论员） have said that The Pursuit of Happyness does not reflect reality because Gardner never seems to tire or lose hope in his dream to be successful even when he is homeless. Despite this criticism， the ending leaves you with a warm feeling and the actor does an excellent job of making us believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
