A possible version：
My favorite film
Watching movies broadens my view of the world. Among them, The Pursuit of Happyness stands out.
Chris Gardner, a poor salesman, struggles with poverty after his wife leaves. He and his son even sleep in a shelter or public toilet, but he stays optimistic and fights for a better life. Through hard work, he lands a job and finds happiness.
This film inspires me deeply. It shows that no matter how tough life is, we should never give up. As long as we protect our dreams and keep fighting, hope will light our way.
Many moviegoers skip the final cast and credit roll.
Most moviegoers only pay attention to actors and directors. Many people working behind the scenes remain unknown, and their names only appear at the end of the film. Actually, they devote their efforts to the production, which should be respected. So next time, we should remain seated, finishing the final cast and credit roll to show our respect. And I am sure this practice will be rewarding, which will help us understand the whole production better.
