The Pursuit of Happyness

 Hey Everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful week.  I am writing about one of my favorite movies with my favorite Actor Will Smith, His character is named Christopher Gardner and his son Jaden is also in the movie his character is also named Chris. 

It is a wonderful movie, Will and Jaden do an outstanding job. 

The movie starts off with Christopher he lives in San Fransisco with his family, he is a salesman and he is invested his whole life savings in a portable bone density-scanner which he demonstrates to medical doctors and he also pitches it as a handy improvement over different and standard X-rays. 

He is able to sell most of them but the time he has trying to sell them is upsetting his wife linda,  and he is getting finical demands his wife linda works at a hotel as a maid their son Christopher is 5 years old and they are doing their best to take care of him and support themselves and their home. 

Chris goes out to try to sell more scanners and he meets a man named Jay who is a lead manager and partner for Dean Witter Reynolds they get to know each other and Chris notices that he is having trouble solving his rubiks cube he tells him that he can do it, he takes the rubiks cube from him and solves it, he puts the colors all together. 

Jay is surprised about how fast he put together and he says goodbye to him when he makes it to his destination, Chris doesn't have any money to pay the taxi driver so he runs away and the taxi drivers chases after him into a Bart station. Chris goes on the train and once he is on the train he loses one of his scanners in the process. 

Christopher makes a friendship with the guy he met in the taxi named Jay, With his new friendship that gives him a chance to become a stockbroker.

 He gets an interview and the day before his interview he paints his apartment to avoid and postpone being evicted to his difficulty in paying the rent for his apartment and a little shortly after he runs into some trouble the police are knocking at his door,  they take him to the police station because he has parking tickets that he hasn't payed yet.

As a part of his arrest he has to spend the night in jail, and his interview is the next morning, he manages to make it  to his interview on time wearing the clothes that has paint on them he didn't have time to change he impresses the board that he is interviewing with and lands an unpaid internship. 

He would be amongst 20 interns competing for a paid job as a stockbroker. 

 He gets back home and shares with his wife about his new job and she isn't happy with it and leaves him, she leaves their son with him because Chris tells her that she doesn't have the ability to be a single parent. 

When you see the movie you will see that Christopher does everything in his power to take care of his son and himself even when he runs into different situations and has some troubles he does not give up and always finds a way to keep moving forward. 

This movie is very inspiring and encouraging and a wonderful story that will really warm your heart and give you wonderful feelings inside.

 Will smith does an outstanding job in this movie, he portrays the character he is playing very well and makes it very believable and real and makes the audience feel all what he is feeling and all his emotions, and what he is going through in different times of his life.

I decided to write about this movie because Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and this is a really wonderful story that really pulls on your heart-strings. 

I also like how determined Chris is to get a job and support himself and his son he will do everything he can to make a good life for him and his son and to keep him happy so he won't have to worry about anything and he will always know that his father got his back. Will Smith is a wonderful person, he is sweet, caring and has a jovial laugh  and a very good and positive outlook on life. 

He really cares about his family and friends. When he smiles and laughs you can see how much happiness he has inside and out, one of my favorite films with him also is Aladdin, he does an amazing job as the Genie, he makes it his own and adds his own unique flare and style to it so it doesn't overshadow what Robin did when he first played the Genie in the Animated Aladdin movie, I love Robin Williams also he did a wonderful job playing the Genie.   

It reminds me a lot of the men in my family and how they always take care of their family, support their family and make sure they have everything they need to make them happy and have a wonderful and fulfilling life.  I love knowing that I can always count on my family to be there for me and always knowing that they are in my corner whenever I need them. 

My favorite scene from the Pursuit of Happyness is when Chris concludes the last the day of his internship he is called to meet with the board of the company, Mr. Frohm notices that he is wearing a nice new shirt and Chris explains he thought that it would be nice to wear because he was thinking that it was his last day at work . 

The boss lets him know that he should wear another one tomorrow because he won the coveted full paid position and he is reimbursed for the cab ride.

 He is so surprised and happy that he is fighting back tears he shakes everyone's hands before he leaves the room and says thank you so much.  My favorite part is when he leaves the building he is outside and claps his hands because he is so happy and blessed his voice over plays while he is celebrating and it says "this part of my life this part right here?"is called happyness. That part just warms my heart.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a inspiring, good and encouraging happy story.
