| The Pursuit Of Happyness
|
A wonderful movie based on the real rags to riches story of Chris Gardner a portable medical machinery salesman who is having trouble selling the machines... played by Will Smith... Despite having a very hard life he has a great never-say-die attitude... However his wife is very unhappy and decides to leave... Chris having been abadoned by his father when he was young swore to himself to never do the same to his children if he ever had any... and so he looks after his 5-year-old son Christopher played by Will Smith's real life son Jaden Smith (who is soooo cute!!) while he works... After a chance encounter with a stock-broker... he decides to apply for an internship program with one of the top brokerage firms in San Fransisco... and wins them over with his dedication and wit... in the mean time he went broke as a result of not paying his taxes in time and most of his money was taken by the government... he is subjected to lead a double life... an intern at the brokerage firm where no one knows his true state of life... and the single father who is broke and is subjected to fight for place in a shelter for homeless people and even sleeping in a toilet at the subway... Nevertheless after all the hardship... his hard work pays off and finally is offered a job at the brokerage firm...
A really amazing story and very touching... it makes you think how tough some people have it and they complain less than those people who have it easy... and also much happier... I do like the fact that the mention how happiness is something that is pursued... it doesn't just land on your doorstep and can be a neverending pursuit... But like Oprah, Will Smith and Chris Gardner all agreed upon... this story could have only happened in America and no where else... that is the American dream...Labels: movie |
