Movie Review on The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie about a struggling salesperson who takes custody of his
son, as he is ready to begin in a life-changing experience. Chris Garner, personally as Will Smith,
is a great man who does right thing but everything seems to be falling apart at the same time.
He has experiencing difficulties including financial problem as he loses his job and
consequences in the relationship of his wife who leaves him and moves to New York.

Without money and wife, Chris is struggling to take care of his son as he lost his job. He
relentlessly goes straight forward despite of being homeless along with his son. Until Chris is
fighting for the position of Stockbroker job against other twenty potential candidates despite
being arrested and broke. Six months of training without salary, Chris never gives up and
continue to strive and work hard. Fortunately, the manager had chosen him as a stockbroker
that serves as his permanent job and made him so emotional. In that time, everything will be
okay and they’ll live a better life now. Chris can now lift the financial burden off his shoulder,
start over, and move forward. Despite of what things Chris has now, he faced every day with
potential strength and courage. Thus, he continually working hard and take responsibility of his
job.

Generally, The Pursuit of Happyness is a story of success that starts from struggle until all
sacrifices were paid off. This movie tells us what to do in order to reach our goal in life.
Additionally, this inspires and gives motivation to those people who are hopeless and those that
are about to surrender. Although it’s a typical story, but the message itself helps to many
people to be stronger and remain resilient. It is such an emotional story accompanied with
perseverance, faith, and determination at the same time. Furthermore, the sound effects,
costumes, and the soundtracks in the movie caught attention to many where Will Smith, also
known as Chris Graner in the movie, played it very well as it is happening in real life.
Indeed, the movie teaches us not to give up for every circumstance that comes in our life.
Although it’s an uphill climb, we should take a step towards achieving our dreams until we
arrived to our final destination. Besides, the more we experienced downfalls, the stronger
ourselves can be. Being determined in our dreams associated with courage is the key to
success. This movie proves that poverty is not a hindrance to success as long as you work hard
for it. Besides, behind every struggle lies a great success. It’s no surprise life can be hard
sometimes but it’s going to be okay along the way as we remain standing by our own feet. We
might fall off the ground, but we should stand again and walk through the path which we
deserve to be.

I am very thankful that this movie came out as it is such an inspiring and motivating story. This
is a must-watch where everyone can relate and can get moral lesson that could be applied in
real life. I am encouraging everyone to watch this movie for us to be more passionate and
driven in chasing their dreams as well as to have patience of when their dreams turned into
reality. All things take time before you get, wait until it’s your turn.
