You got a dream?You gotta protect it.People can't do something themselves they wanna tell you you can't do it.If you want something go get it. -Chris Gardner
My experience with this particular movie was a heart-rending one.I decided to watch this with my mother after her recommendation and it turned out to be an emotional roller coaster.The movie is about this man named Chris Gardner who is trying to make ends meet by selling a bone density scanner.However, things are getting harder and harder for his family as it's been a long time since he last sold one.We basically follow his life as he strives to both achieve his dream and stay afloat.
what really surprised me was how much I cared for these characters and how emotionally attached I was to them.I would never expect to feel this man so close to my heart and cheer for him throughout the film.After a certain point,I always had to wipe the tears off my eyes while hugging my pillow and being depressed.The soundtrack was not as good as I hoped it would be,given the fact that when a sad scene was coming up they would play a groovy kind of happy song?.. I don't know maybe that is just me.Still,it turned out to be a masterpiece and the best kind of motivation with the messages it was trying to convey to the viewers.To make a long story short, it stresses the importance of pursuing your dream,it makes you think about the meaning and the perception of what happiness really is and leaves you feeling stunned of how conceptual it was.I also loved the relationship between him and his son because it felt really balanced with its ups and downs.I would recommend this to pretty much anyone especially young people like me because you will definitely be inspired to work your way to your goal.
