Heartfelt Movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2011)

First and foremost Will Smith is an amazing actor and also an amazing person. They couldn't have found a better person to play his role. This is such a powerful powerful piece.
This is based on a true story and it's so inspiring. Will Smith plays Chris Gardener and Will's son, Jaden Smith play's his son in the movie. I think what made this movie feel so real and made will at his best was that his son in the movie was really his son in reality. You could see the emotions and the character in Will's face. It was so sincere! This movie is about a man who would not give up! No matter what life threw at him, he came, he saw, and he conquered. He was homeless and that's difficult enough but being homeless with a child is way beyond. He does everything he can to make a little money and finally does the unthinkable.
This movie is an eye opener and will have you feeling good. Personally, one of the biggest reasons why I love this movie so much is because I was homeless and I had nothing at one point. I saw this movie before I was homeless and during my time of being on the streets I thought about Chris Gardner and how he made it from nothing to something. That helped pushed me to better myself and do something with my life. Like Chris Gardener I went from being poor to working and having a stable income. Unlike Chris I'm not even making nowhere close to what he's making haha. Below are a few links about my story.
