This story will touch you, if you like a good drama. I can guarantee it. Will play Chris Gardner, a poor and unsuccessful guy in San Francisco. His wife leaves him and he is alone with his son Christopher. He decides to be a stockbroker. He must go through a demanding course, where only one of the participants will be offered the job. Meanwhile, he must cope with a steadily deteriorating cash situation that could lead to him and his son are homeless. The story is based on a real story. This is a heartfelt story about holding on to your dreams and never ever give up. Life is what you make it. Whatever problems life throws in his face, he gets up and does not give up. It's hard not to feel sympathy for Chris, well played by Will Smith. One of his best performances in a film. He should do more of these kinds of films, instead of wasting his talent in films like After Earth. What is happiness? In this film, it is intended that happiness is money and a well paid job. But I think this gripping film is really about courage and not let go of the dream of a better life. This is one of my favorite movies, for great performances for Smith Jr. and Snr., great storytelling and it has a strong, important message. A film you can watch several times, alone or with friends. Recommended.
