My favourite film
My favourite film is The Pursuit of Happiness. It is a pretty inspiring film.
It tells a story of a poor salesman, Chris Gardener. The story takes place in the 1980s in the US. At that time, it is very difficult for common people to find a good job. Chris tries many ways to make money, but he fails. Then his wife leaves him and their young son. Soon they lose their home and have to sleep in the street. However, Chris never loses hope. He believes strongly that happiness will come to him if he keeps learning and improving. Hard work pays off. In the end, he becomes successful.
By watching this film, I learn that hard work is the key to becoming successful. If you are having a hard time now, don't lose hope and keep trying. You will see the light in the end.
