Film Review: The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happiness, which is inspired by a true story of Wall Street legend - Christ Gardner, is absolutely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Once watching it, your heart can easily be touched to every inch because of the meaningful message it brings: everybody can do everything with determination and…love.
The movie is performed by excellent actors who truly make the film. Will Smith, a Hollywood action superstar, plays in this very dramatic movie with his real-life son-Jaden Smith. It is, in my view, the greatest acting ever in his famous career. Thus, I personally think that one of this film’s successes is the perfect cast. Through their expression and their eyes, people can feel and experience every single moment of the characters.
Another thing I love most is the script, which couldn’t have been more fascinating. The movie centers in Christ’s struggle to get by and gain a better life for his son, depicting a mounting pile of obstacles he overcomes to become an amazing stockbroker from just an unqualified salesman. The plot is fairly spectacular with regard to how it steadily takes the audience to the climax after so many times the main character is knocked down by continuous defeat.
This emotional story almost tears at my heart, and I believe that this film, with a wonderful lesson of family values, can make any viewers not be able to take their eyes off the screen, waiting for what will happen in the end. As well, I extremely appreciate the way in which the movie subtly glorifies thing called “American Spirit”, through the portrait of a man stuck in poverty, not surrendering to the fate but keeping chasing his dreams.
The pursuit of Happiness is truly an inspirational masterpiece. If you’re looking for something which can warm the cockles of your heart, this film, with no doubt, is the one for you!
