Just like movies


Movies are a kind of presentation of art and entertainment. They are expressed the form and feeling which a director and actors try to show. In the one hand, they might have a lot of fun to be seen as a form of entertainment; in the other hand, they are also artistic to tell and discover some topics. Therefore, I like watching all kinds of movies such as comedy, fiction, science fiction, musical, action, drama, horror, and thriller. It is hard that I need to pick my favorite movie becasue there are so many movies which worth me introducing.

Today, I wish to recommand one of my favorite movies. This movie is "The Pursuit of Happyness". The movie is a true-life story of a single dad who went from living on the streets to owning his own brokerage firm. It was brought to the big screen by Will Smith, and his son Jaden Smith also act together. The story says that a suddenly single salesman who has custody of his son, but finds that providing for the two of them is a challenge in the increasingly unstable economic environment. Therefore, He tries to struggle to work his way from unpaid intern at Dean Witter to something more substantial, even as life continues to offer him setbacks.

Actually, when I saw the movie at first, I could feel very depressed. It is a pity that they are homeless, and they don't have money to afford their life. Everything is so bad that the story makes me see it hardly. Howevr, Will smith never gives up any chance, and he works harder to pursue his hope. Finally, he makes it! I have to say that the director wonderfully express the definition of happiness. At the same time, I also could feel the honest emotion in the movie. I seems to witness the miracle of success. Surely, his earnest creates the path of success.

In my opinion, a good movie must be attractive to people. First of all, it is the most important condition that they need a good story. Moreover, it is uncertain that movies have to spend a lof of costs, and they might not need any superstar. However, they must have a attractive story to make people feel interested. Second, a good director and actors are also very important parts of a good moive. Audiences could see the vivid facial expressions and actions when actors pay more attentions to his or her roles. A good director also could develop the potential ability of actors and help actors advance to understand more details about roles who a director wants to show. Besides, a good director knows how to arrange and organize plots well. To sum up, the elements of a good movie acquires a good story, a good director and good actors. Then, a good movie will be presented before our eyes.

  1. Hey Joe,

    Great choice for a movie, and great definition of what a great movie is! I agree that this is a very moving story. If we are feeling down, it's easy to feel inspired when we see how hard Smith's character works to get the things he needed for himself and his son. I'm glad you chose this movie to discuss.
