We always seem to be told how we should live, how to succeed, in order to earn that ticket to 'happiness.' But does happiness really have a standard answer? If life leaves you with nothing, not even spelling the word 'happiness' correctly for you, do you still have the courage to knock on its door?
In this episode, we’d like to revisit a film with you, a story about a man at the lowest point of his life. For the sake of his son and a slim chance at a better future, he runs tirelessly through a vast city. This film is 《The Pursuit of Happyness》
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why is 'Happyness' in the movie title intentionally misspelled? What secret about happiness lies behind this?
- From a homeless man on the streets to a Wall Street elite, was the protagonist driven solely by his desire for success? Let’s talk about things that are even more important than success.
- The recurring imagery of 'running' in the film—besides portraying desperation, what profound metaphors about dignity and fatherly love does it carry?
- 'Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something—not even me.' Why has this iconic line inspired so many people?
