You know how they say good things happen to good people? Well they lie. Seriously, how often does that happen? It's extremely rare and that's why I loved "The Pursuit of Happyness"It features Will Smith as Chris Gardner, who goes through a series of challenging events in his life. From getting evicted from his home, to sleeping in the restroom, he does it all. However, through his patience, perseverance and above all diligence, he finally manages to get the job at the stock brokerage.
Chris Gardner, in fact, had gone through these very phases in his life. Once a homeless guy, he is a self-made millionaire today. He is a great man and a great father and is the founder of the stock brokerage called "Gardner Rich" based in Chicago.
The entire movie was an overwhelming experience. Seeing a man go through so many hardships in his life with a young son by his side was quite emotional.
My favorite scene in the movie is in the basketball court where Gardner tells his son that nothing is impossible. He says, people think something is impossible because they cant do it and they think no one else will be able to do it either. I loved that part simply because it came from a man who was homeless, jobless and yet hadn't given up on life.
