The Pursuit of happyness review

The Pursuit of Happyness


Finally after being there in my library for a loooonnng time I managed to view this Gem yesterday night. To be frank, last time I remember I cried in a hollywood movie (yes I do cry ..:D ) was during Scent of a women and Pursuit of happyness made be cry pretty effectively. The movie is one GEM of a piece. Easily one of the best performance of will smith after seven pounds. (indecently both are directed by the same director)
The movie is based on the true life story of Christopher Gardner who during 1980s, struggled with extreme poverty, homelessness and loneliness while raising his toddler son, Christopher jr, and how he managed to come out of this crisis and made success out of his life. The move is totally dependent on Will's performance and boy what a performance he gives, the pain, the anguish, the struggle, the fear is so very realistically portrayed by his eyes and body language that it send shivers down your spine. I can assure you, as a middle class citizen of this country, the movie actually makes you appreciate your life and what God has given to you. The direction is top notch and no liberties taken. Just shows the hard facts of poverty of America and what your determination can make you achieve.
I highly recommend this movie to every struggling individual
