Superb!

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2007)

This is a very heart warming movie based on the life of Chris Gardner starring Will Smith. Will Smith has perhaps done the most challenging role of his career and he has done it with finesse and the Oscar nomination is well-deserved. Full credit to Will Smith for a job well done and to the entire team as well including the child actor.
I guess I need not describe the story for it should be well-known. Briefly put, it is about a man named Chris Gardner and his battle to fight the crisis in his life to come up on the top. It is the story of his struggle to set his life right.
And here is a small address to some of the critics who believe the movie sends out the wrong message. What wrong message? That pursuit of pecuniary independence is the pursuit of happiness? This is utter nonsense. The movie in fact encourages one to fight no matter what and find the happiness they are looking for. And yes, about the importance of money, we all know it is important in the structure of the society that we have created for ourselves. My strong opinion is that it is only the most pessimistic of persons who can ignore all the strong messages in the movie and argue (not discuss) about this "message" issue.
A must watch for all Smith fans and the "real-life inspired drama" genre of movies.
