Great movie, worth it to watch

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2012)

This is a really good movie, it is very heavy and uplifting movie without being too cheesy. Will Smith did a fabulous job playing the struggling father trying to make ends meet. Wills nomination for best actor was well deserved. With this being a inspiring movie with a "go for your dreams accept nothing else" message, with the main theme being how important family is. Chris (Will Smith) did his best to protect his some from the harshness of their life being homeless, and still trying to work as a unpaid intern at a big time stock firm. Having a rough last few years like many made this hit home. Seeing how he struggled to provide for his child and still made life enjoyable with the odds against him. Watching this you start to see that this portrays the great myth of a self made man and equal opportunity, that if you work hard you will succeed it is up to your interpretation if this is a truth. Some of the bad reviews seem to complain why he would choose the evil job of working for a Investment firm. If you look at in between the lines it wasn't really about getting that job. He dreamed of being able to provide for his son the best that he could and his intelligence was the step up and gave him the chance he needed that others would not give. Watch this movie it is worth the time.
