Pursuit of Happiness
I saw The Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith. It started with Will Smith with his wife and son trying to make ends meet. There are cute narrations from Will Smith saying like, This part is called me riding the bus. Then while walking down the street he meets a guy with very flashy car and asks what he does and how does he do it. He is a stock broker and his company does internships. Will Smith applies. Wife ain't too happy him giving up his pathetic paying job for a dream that will never come true. Wife leaves. He gets the internship position, but it doesn't pay a salary. But he believes it will take him to better places. While playing basketball with his son he explains that he will never be a NBA player. Son tosses the ball away. He explains to his son not to let anyone, not even his father, tell him he can't do something. He has to see his dreams through. He next is evicted from his apartment, moves to a hotel, kicked out fo the hotel, stands in line to get into a homeless shelter, but they can only take so many people. One night they sleep in a subway restroom and as his son sleeps in his lap, Will cries. I thought that was touching. He tries to be strong for his son throughout the movie, and he cries seeing his son suffer. He continues on his jobs to get money for his bills. Finally at the end, he takes the internship exam and comments to another intern the essay on the back was the hardest part. The intern says, Essay question? And if you saw Oprah interviewing the real guy and his son, who are much older now, he gets the job and messages pop up of his career since then. Will Smith and his son go to the beach and look at the Golden Gate Bridge a little differently. The End. Post later. Bye!
