The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a great drama movie. Actually, I think it is an ordinary movie, but the fact that it’s based on a true story makes the movie so special and real. It all begins when Will Smith “Chris Gardner” finds himself jobless and homeless. The man is so smart, but his luck is not helping him at all. After facing many troubles Chris finds work as a trainee at a brokerage firm. Finally, by working hard he becomes a partner and owner of his own Chicago-based firm.

The movie sends great messages to all people around the world. However, I think there was one key message behind the movie which is “NEVER LOSE YOUR DREAM”. People shouldn’t give up their dreams easily; they must work so hard and run after their goals till they achieve them. Life is tough and people earn their desire by sweat not by talking and dreaming. Besides working hard, believing in god and having a high level of faith will make people reach their dreams. Honestly, we can learn many lessons from this movie and there is a lot more but I think these are the most important ones.

On the other hand, I didn’t like the idea of linking happiness with money. There are much more important things in life other than money which will make you happy, such as: being healthy. What’s the value of your life if you are too sick and you can’t enjoy anything?? Money is not happiness, it’s just a way to make people happy.

The uniqueness of the movie comes from the excellent performance of Will Smith and his son. The chemistry between them is outstanding. Choosing Jaden Smith ,Will Smith son, to act with his dad in such a sensitive movie is one of the reasons that make the movie full of real emotions that break the wall between the actor and the audience.

Note: The name of the movie is The Pursuit of Happyness not The Pursuit of Happiness.
