Fantastic representation of the times we live in

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2007)

The Pursuit of Happiness is a very realistic expression of the current state of the world. A rags to riches story with the emotional beating of a man not only trying to survive in an unforgiving system, but also trying to protect his son from feeling the same despair he does. Will Smith does a beautiful job acting the part. The Pursuit of Happiness is perhaps one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen. It encourages one to press on even in the worst of junctures, which is a much needed push in the youth of today. And it just hurt my heart to see Will Smith cry... Big Willie Style. I recommend when this movie is watched, let it be while you're alone. The plot line is indeed predictable but you don't find yourself expecting so much as you do just hoping so hard for things to happen. Great movie.
