Where are we going?

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2007)

Will Smith gave an Oscar-nominated performance in this excellent film about a father's love and going after your dream. I doubt if anyone could possibly imagine the heartbreak and struggle the Chris Gardner went though unless you have been there yourself. The fact that is was based on the story of a real person made it all the more powerful.
I cannot imaging anyone watching this and not feeling tears welling up as they saw the impossible odds that faced Chris and his raw determination to just keep going. he knew that there was happiness waiting for him as long as he continued the pursuit. Isn't that all we are promised - the pursuit of happiness? It is up to us to keep going and try to reach the goal.
Thandie Newton also gave a great performance as his wife in a small and unheralded role.
