The Pursuit of HappYness…

Its been some time I’d seen this movie… but would always get back to it whenever I’m low or finding hard to catch up with the fast paced life.

The pursuit of happyness is an American biographical film about a salesman turned stocks broker person named Chris Gardner.

The film’s title is derived from the words of Thomas Jefferson in the United States Declaration of Independence; the misspelling of “happiness” refers to a mural decorating the exterior of the son’s day care center on which the word is spelled that way.

The role of Chris Gardner is very well played by none other than Will Smith, who happens to be one of those artists i truly admire!!! Also the movie features Jaden Smith, Will’s own blood as his son inĀ  the movie (Christopher Gardner Jr.). Thandie Newton has very well played the role of his wife in the movie.

The movie is based in San Fransisco, California. Chris is shown as a loser at his sales job but who has great imagination and a ‘think big’ attitude towards life. The circumstances he’s pushing his life through are tremendous and makes him to shift… shift to a group of people who are “so damn happy” (and rich).

truly enlightening experience!!! :) A few scenes would surely touch your heart forever!!!
