A Triumph!:)

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2007)

This movie is poignant, thought- provoking and much more. After i watched the movie i felt very emotional and threathened by not only how the main non-fictional protagonist handled his financial problems on a new and dramatic level, but also how he exhibited his determination and resilence on a extreme and positive level! you can't help but learn not just from chris who followed his dream and ingrained that mentality on his beautiful son, who also was a fighter and looked up to his father but, also the movie- how it shows the struggles and lows of chris and his family and the negative people (his evil wife- linda-ggrrr....i wanted to hit her!, the guy who he shown the cube puzzle to, who eventually turned out to be good and co-operative, the guy who he kept getting food and coffee for-gggrrr....a**hole!-seriously)chris encounters. It didn't bother him, at all, he still had to do what he had to do...no matter what! 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is a movie that is dramatic, too realistic and one that is impeccably acted and handled with empathy and care, by the brilliant man himself mr will smith, who showed so much anger and faith in himself and his talented real-life son who played his character so well with sadness and empathy.
i recommend this movie to anyone who wants to feel captivated and inspired by this true story of a movie! It will make you feel happy (good ending- although predictable!), sad and joyful for both chris and his son! What a movie!9/10:)
