Why did he use the word ‘pursuit’? Is it because we can never really get happiness at the end of the day?
I’ve just finished watching The Pursuit of Happyness staring Will Smith and I’m really touched. Will Smith is such a good actor! The child actor is actually his real son. No wonder there was a kind of chemistry between them. So sweet! Anyway, it’s actually a real success story by Chris Garner, who is a millionaire now (I’m so happy for him!).
It basically shows the hardships Chris had to go through before finding success at the end. There will always be a rainbow after the rain that you thought was never going to stop. His wife left him because his business, selling bone density scanners, was at a losing end and she couldn’t take it anymore. Since she would be unable to take care of their son alone, she left him with him and got him to promise to take care of him.
Then the story started. The rollercoaster ride of his life. At times it seemed as if times were going to be okay, but it went down again. Towards the end, they were kicked out of their rented house & had to queue up to live in the shelter for homeless people each day… and while doing this he had to sell his scanners during the weekends, and go for his internship in a big investment firm. Only 1 out of 20 interns would be hired after 6 months (which he obviously got it at the end).
It’s inspiring to see how hardworking he is. He had so much will, determination and courage to change his life for the better. We should all be like that. He’s a real role model we should look up to.
I love good movies, especially a moving one. People, please watch this and get inspired!
