Happyness's Pursuit: Talk about the interview scene.

The pursuit of Happyness seems to be an evergreen tree in the film industry. Since its release in 2006, people have been watching it, commenting on it and reviewing it. It is an inspirational film, which can give me strength when I encounter difficulties, and because it is an autobiography adaptation, it has many original elements. Some friends regard it as an educational film, saying that it can teach us how to treat children, how to find a job and jump ship, and how to accurately locate life. ...

This film contains too much content and can be analyzed from many angles. What about the role of Chris?

Chris is a three-dimensional image in the film: smart, capable, diligent, brave, patient and caring for children, but he also has a domineering and rogue side.

Like him, probably also lies in the truth of this role, his feelings, through a series of events, true and powerful, and will smith's performance, accurate, profound and natural.

In this film, I especially like the scene where Chris is interviewed by an intern.

This interview is an important part of the whole movie. In the film of 1 17 minutes, it was shown for 4 minutes and 23 seconds.

Let me analyze it from the perspective of human resources first.

What do you think of this interview? What can you learn from it?

Think of it as a human resources training course for the time being and see how Chris succeeded in this interview.

Create opportunities. There are opportunities to seize opportunities, but there are no opportunities to create opportunities. Chris made a perfect interpretation of this sentence. Chris met with the HR Commissioner for the first time, and lost the opportunity when he left halfway to chase the bone densitometer snatched by hippies-he had to go directly to the HR supervisor-he waited for the opportunity downstairs for more than a month-and finally took a taxi with the HR supervisor, and happened to play a Rubik's Cube performance to win his favor, and finally ran away without money to pay the taxi fare.

The bone densitometer is something he can't lose, so Chris decided to take it back first. The lost opportunities of securities companies will be made up by other efforts. Later, of course, it will cost more than the first time-after staying downstairs for more than a month, the fugitive was caught up by the taxi driver.

Chris's strengths-courage and frankness-were well demonstrated in the taxi incident. Knowing that I was penniless, I had to take a taxi with Tostel, the director of human resources, and ran at the traffic lights when I saw that I had no money to pay. I don't think I have the courage to do so. I have no money, no confidence to take the bus, and I dare not escape from the scene.

When Chris finally walked into the door of the company and got an interview, I'll analyze his gorgeous performance again.

Be modest and show confidence. After entering the door, he strode to the interviewer and shook hands with all the interviewers. It should be noted that he greets everyone in a different way, which shows that he attaches importance to every teacher.

Being honest with each other is unexpected. Clothing always plays an important role in an interview. Chris knows there is something wrong with his clothes. He has already lost a game. While he was waiting outside the door, he had come up with many explanations. In the end, he chose honesty: he entered the police station and was painting the wall before ... His honesty surprised the interviewer.

Be good at observing and seize opportunities. Be sure to express yourself, which is always an important part of the interview. If there is no chance to express it in front, we must find an opportunity to express it. If you have fully demonstrated yourself, but you have not been hired, it can only show that you are still far from the requirements of the company. But if it's because you didn't show your talent, it's a mistake.

After the interviewer asked a few questions, Chris knew he was at a disadvantage. When there seems to be no chance, Chris directly tells his own advantages: I am such a person. If I don't know the answer to your question, I will tell you "I don't know" directly, but I promise you, I know how to find the answer, and I will find it.

This passage won him some points in this interview, although the interviewer still has great questions. If described by a curve, Chris's previous state has fallen below the standard line. With this passage, he returned to the vicinity of the standard line. The winner is very small. If there is no outstanding performance later, the lost game will be decided here.

But in the end, he turned defeat into victory with his wit and humor.

Chris won the chance in the last question. "What would you think if someone came to the interview without wearing a shirt? What would you think if I finally hired this person? " "Then the pants he is wearing must be very elegant."

The dryness of this shirt is also used in the later story. When Chris was hired, the old interviewer told Chris to wear a shirt tomorrow, because it was your first day in the company. It can be seen that Chris's interview at that time left a deep impression on them.

It was Chris's humor, hard-working attitude, frank and true quality, and the strong recommendation of the human resources director that won him an important internship opportunity in this company, which also brought a major turning point in his later life.

Lens analysis.

The lens describes the scene of Chris going to a securities company, which took a long time-first coming out of the police station, flying to the dean's building, breaking into the stairs, waiting for the interview, and then crossing the hall to the conference room, with a total time of 1 minute and 38 seconds.

I have to say that this is a long time allocation in the movie. This process is equivalent to "building momentum", paving the way for the importance of this interview. It took 18 seconds to cross the hall, and it can even be considered that this time is consistent with the event time. Chris took the audience to observe this space for the first time and experience the possible working atmosphere in the future.

Although the scene is monotonous, the lens is not simple. At first, it followed Chris behind him, then faced him in front, then turned to other staff and moved horizontally across the hall. In a word, this is a very rich achievement for the securities company in Chris' eyes.

The interview process lasted 2 minutes and 45 seconds, and the lens was objective, mainly by cross-editing. The shooting angle is head-up and mid-shot. When Chris leaves, the camera moves with him. If represented by a mirror table, it will also be a complex set of shots.

In two scenes, Chris shared the whole picture with the interviewer.

One of the shared pictures is like this. After Chris answered the topic of shirts and trousers, first the main interviewer laughed, and then the three interviewers laughed together and entered the camera. Then, the camera directly shoots Chris from behind the interviewer, with the whole hall of the company as the background, and the composition is centered on Chris and symmetrical. I think the intention is also obvious, and Chris is about to become one of them.

A set of very objective shots! It is also a very objective editing! When the interviewer speaks, the camera is pointed at the interviewer; When Chris answered, the camera was facing Chris, and he didn't stop too much except for the part where Chris said his advantages, which was also to show that the interviewer was a little tempted.

Color. Black, white and gray make up the whole picture.

Although Chris wore an inappropriate jacket and undershirt, the color of his clothes was in harmony with the whole atmosphere. I think it has something to do with Chris's usual clothes and the construction of the whole picture. Imagine if Chris wears red or yellow, the picture must be out of harmony. It is hard to imagine that Chris of that color will be accepted by several interviewers.

In another analysis of this film, I also mentioned that the color of this film has always been dark. Except Christopher's schoolbag, it is a bit depressing, but it is also the true color of life, and it is the main color in the eyes of a person who is committed to changing jobs.

In this scene, the lens is nothing special, and the color is standard. The composition of the interview meeting room is also difficult to be innovative. Apart from the remarkable plot, will smith's performance obviously adds a lot of color to this link. When he entered the door, he was full of confidence in the sunshine. In fact, he can see that he is at a disadvantage when facing the interviewer. He has been trying to save the situation, even when he said the classic sentence of pants. He is still uncertain about his impression in the interviewer's mind. Hearing the question, he was silent for a while, because he knew that the teacher was politely refusing him. He knew that the defeat had been decided, and that kind of loss and hopelessness left him speechless. Finally, he bowed his head and spoke his answer with trepidation. He didn't expect it himself. It was this careless remark that finally gave him a chance to survive. In the whole process, Smith seems to be acting in his true colors, and he can feel that he can deeply understand every subtle emotion.

I always feel that this movie has too much to say. When I am depressed, I will watch this movie and see Chris' courage, and I will know that everything is fine.
