Beautiful, Inspiring and Touching

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2007)

I must say that i always thought that Will Smith could act beyond action and comedy. Well as usual... i was right... not to be arrogant. But i have just watched this film and it has truly inspired me. The Pursuit of Happiness taught me the lesson that no matter how far down the well you fall there's always the bucket next to you. Smith's performance in this caused me so much empathy for Gardner that i felt as though a human being just can't endure this and still retain it's sanity and drive. However the TRUE story managed to push through this and cause such a feeling of 'Happyness' that i felt as though my head would explode with joy for this person who had stayed so sturdy throughout this and come through. There is so much more i would love to say about the way this film touched my heart but i just don't have the time If i may give congratulations to Will Smith for performing so Oscar-ably and Mr Gardner himself for enduring all of that strife while holding a metaphorical roof over your young son no matter what.
