Persuit of Happyness

A movie that discusses our real issues that we face in our world today, but don't you think it is a bit exaggerated? I mean we all know that there are really poor people in this world that really do go through that, but are they saints like Smith's character in the movie? Through out the whole movie we did not see the main character do something wrong or maybe unethical. The character was pictured as a perfect person who saw the worst out of everyone and still showed the best to them. I am a realistic person, and I admit that we have problems in our world, but I also admit that humans are humans, and humans are not perfect! On the other hand, I strongly believe that it was an amazing movie, Will Smith did a really good job, specially by choosing his son to play the character's son role in the movie; that showed added alot to the movie. Now, I go to my last comment about this movie, which is my favorite thing about it, its that this movie is more like a message than it is to entertain us. There are always hidden messages to us, like "never give up", "always have hope" and more. This is actually why I really liked the movie regardless to my first comment.

I think the movie was pretty realistic to me. Being poor or in dire straits is no excuse for any unethical behavior (Will Smith did however escape without paying a cab fair in the movie). The fact that he showed people his best while taking the burden of his problem all on himself is simply his way of life and dealing with it. Yet, he wasnt perfect at all. He didn't have all the answers he needed, he didn't know what to do, and mostly got lucky at the last minute (Atleast from my perspective of things).
