Review Of The Movie (PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS)

This movie is about a man in which will Smith plays Chris Gardner, the kind of man who once was a whip - smart kid but has never realized his potential. Having sunk his savings into a line of medical scanners that aren't selling, Chris is beginning to fray at the seams. His wife, Linda, looking worn to the bone), can't handle the stress, especially when her husband impulsively decides he'd rather be a stockbroker instead.

But Chris Gardner's family is quickly dispersing. Linda his wife, leaves him early on, choosing to fend for herself rather than go down with Chris' sinking ship. She leaves him with their son Christopher. Chris would have to sell two bone density scanners each month to pay rent, daycare and groceries. He applies for an intern ship at Dean Witter only one in twenty interns is hired; and if you aren't hired, you can't apply for a job at any other stock brokerage firm for six months. But finally Chris gets the job at Dean Witter’s brokerage firm.

Along the way to success, Chris is thrown in jail .He lives with his son Christopher on streets, in public toilets, trains and buses at nights when his house owner throws him out of the house because Chris is not able to pay the due rent in time. Will Smith did a great job as the father trying to protect his son from their circumstances of becoming homeless as much as he can, while at the same time trying to work in the competitive world of stocks as an un-paid intern. Christopher son of Chris Gardner.

The movie is basically about the a man who puts in every single effort to protect his son, struggles his way to improve his standard of life , the movie clearly not tells its message that if you work hard you will succeed. No matter what, and does that message tell the truth about success. I think the movie is open to interpretation some will see it as a reflection of poverty, the scene of carefree rich people driving past the line to get into a homeless shelter is pretty devastating. Other people will become angry because they believe that the movie depiction of hard work leading to rewards. in some cases is too easy .
