No matter what color you are, or where you are from, anyone can appreciate Chris Gardener's trials and tribulations. As many have said you can't help but to be inspired by this true story of devotion.
Sitting in the theater with my wife, I (not only) like Will Smith teared -up I was simply worn out, 30 minutes into the movie! The things that Mr. Gardener suffered all in the line of his life's duty was more than some people could bare. There's no doubt about that. Will was outstanding as the father of the small child and the husband who's wife couldn't wait another minute. Think about what she just gave up. Not only her son, a good boy, but a good man who ultimately would not quit. I understand from his interview that he is a multi-millionaire now. After all that. In the light of many circumstances that would depress the hell out of any normal man or woman. He was evicted, jailed, hit by a car and lost a shoe, while on his lunch break and on and on it went. As I watched him I was inspired greatly! As my wife said "Look at his attitude and the way that he 'carried' himself through all of it. He didn't bring on the fell sorry for me thing." That truly he would have had every right to disclose his problems, but he simply kept on keeping on, until....-he won!!
I think every good American should watch and get inspired by this story. It makes you think and feel, it changes perspective. Bravo Mr. Gardener. Recommended highly You'll learn a lot, this story is priceless. (****)
