The pursuit of happyness

You dream big, you want to succeed, but then everything else seems to be conspiring against you, your investment has turned dud, your family life is at a cross road for some time now, you have bills piling up everywhere and wait.....you have got a 5-year-old son too......won't you give up?


................No....never.....because the "you" here is Chris Gardner enacted superbly on screen by Will Smith and his real life son (Jaden Smith) enacts the role of Gardner's son. This is his (Gardner's) real life story.


The movie shows the early part of Gardner's life as a medical equipment salesman
when he was struggling to make both ends meet, and could not even afford a home at one point and ends at the juncture where he gets his first break.


In the end, which is also the climax, both Deekay and Will Smith were trying hard to control their emotions ;-).


So, if you ever feel low on motivation and depressed about things not going your way, this is the movie to watch.


The script is by Steven Conrad and director is Gabrielle Muccino and Will Smith also won an Academy Award nomination for best actor.
