Hello everyone,
As expected, Will Smith made a fantastic performance in the Pursuit of Happiness, he showed a different actor than the one we all saw in most of his previous movies. In the movie Will Smith and his son are pursuing to get the thing that all people live and strive for and attempt in a million different ways to get: happiness. The main message of the movie is to send hope to people and tell them that no matter what your circustances are there is always hope in the horizon. Will's relationship with his son in real life helped them really click in the movie and create a great father-son bond. It is not a surprise that Will Smith got nominated for an Oscar for his outstanding performance in the Pursuit of Happiness.

I agree that his role was quite different that what we've seen before. This was a refreshing change from movies like "Men in Black" and "Independance Day" (although his role in "The Legend of Bagger Vance" was a good one as well, far from typical heroic roles).
It's sad how he did not get an Oscar for this role, since it will be tough for him to pick up another dramatic strong performance like this one for the possibility of another nomination.
Well, its true that it is different from all the rest of the roles; however, I believe that his role here was different. But inspite of the other actors, I really think that FOREST WHITAKER in his role in the "The Last King of Scotland" deserves the oscras much more than Will Smith does in the "Persuit of Happyness". I loved the movie and everything, but there are many things that weakens the movie and role itself. Thanks
