Beautiful and inspirational

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2006)

I just watched The Pursuit of Happiness today and I absolutely LOVED it. I would have to say that it's definitely one of the best films that I've seen. The story itself was extremely powerful and moving (it certainly moved me a great deal at least). The film also contained many dramatic and heartbreaking scenes/moments which I personally believe, will be able to touch the hearts of even the most egotistical of men, especially fathers. Lastly, let me just say that Will Smith did an OUTSTANDING job portraying the character of Chris Gardner. The scene where he had no choice but to sleep with his son in the men's restroom just... I don't even know how to put it, completely broke me down inside. The final part of the film where he was finally accepted as a stockbroker, and his eyes just swelled with tears of pure happiness, astonishment, and gratification truly made me feel and understand the meaning of "tears of joy". After all the pain and suffering, he was finally able to achieve success through determination, hard work, courage, faith, and a positive attitude towards life. Finally, I will just say that this film is definitely worth seeing. So don't miss it! P.S. Jayden Smith also did a great job, and he's such an adorable little kid! Sorry for any spelling errors...
