Pursuit of Happyness

Our next movie was Pursuit of Happyness. It is a totally inspiring movie based on the true-life story of Chris Gardner. I missed the point initially however as I was waiting for the climax of the story where Chris Gardner (Will Smith in the movie) becomes succesful, like most unrealistic Hong Kong movies. But this is truly the opposite. It stressed on the downs of his journey, and how he was always striving and rushing around to make ends meet, all for the sake of his son. Of course, he eventually became successful and wealthy businessman but it was really the down to earth and surreal journey he went through that should be the focus here.

Truly awesome acting by Will Smith and his son, Jaden. I give this a 9/10.
