Movie Review

"I met my father for the first time when i was 28 years old.When i had children they were going to know who their father was."promises Chris Gardener played by the actor (Will Smith). An earnest salesman and father desperately struggling to make ends meet on the hard streets of San Francisco in the early 1980s. But his chosen vocation, peddling expensive bone-density scanners that most physicians don't want, has left him and those he loves hovering on the brink of disaster. The movie The Pursuit of Happyness Directed by Gabriele Muccino a biography/drama film, is an inspiring movie because it shows you human struggles and sacrifices that he made and his love for his son. Although he met opposition at every turn, he did not sease to be driven to reach a higher standard of living and providing for his son.

Day after unsuccessful day, Chris comes home to his dispirited girlfriend, Linda, and their 5-year-old son, Christopher.Then Linda leaves Chris (and their son) for a job in New York. She's barely out the door when Chris learns he's been offered the coveted internship. The catch? It's unpaid. Juggling his schedule to get Christopher to and from day care each day with hardly any money in his pockets. But diminishing savings quickly result in an eviction from their apartment.
From their apartment to motel to city shelters on good nights, and in pubulic bathrooms by the subway in the worst.

Chris clings holding firmly to the hope that his hard work will eventually pay off.
And his dogged pursuit of a better life forges a powerful father-son bond that no misfortune can destroy.

From watching this movie, you can see how doors open for many different people.
