很久没有看过这么好的电影。当男主角追求到他的“幸福”的时候，我和男主角一样泪流满面，因为我很能体会男主角所经历的艰辛。电影基于一个真实的故事。平凡的人也可以作出不平凡的事。

假如你觉得自己不幸运，觉得自己的生活和工作枯燥，觉得自己总是与梦想失之交臂，你可以看看这部电影，或许会有所感悟。许多时候，我们有的只是烦恼而已。而世上有更多的人正在苦难中挣扎。

电影的名字来自美国《独立宣言》，幸福的拼写是错误的。片中的男主角的儿子上的日托所的外墙上写着“Happyness", 正确的拼写是"happiness"。电影的名字还是用了片中错误的拼写。

"...they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

男主角特别强调“pursuit"这个字，因为许多时候，幸福不是自动降临在我们身上的，我们要去追求她。每个人都有追求幸福的自由，这是我们与生俱有的权力。

" It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jeferson, the Declaration of Independence, and the part about our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I remember thinking how did he know to put the "pursuit" part in there. Maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue, and maybe we can actually never have it, no matter what. How did he know that?"
