Pursuit of Happiness (3)

The Pursuit of Happiness is a true story about a struggling salesman, Chris Gardener. He takes custody of his son Christopher after his wife leaves him. Chris goes up for an internship as a stockbroker and hangs on to his dream of giving his son a good life. For weeks they were homeless and went days without food but never lost their hope. In the end Chris’s hard work and faith got him the job. He came to be a millionaire and was able to give his son the life he had always promised him. I think this movie shows that if you believe you can do it, you can. Even if everyone around doubts you, like everybody doubted Chris, all that matters is that you don’t doubt yourself.
This movie also shows that even if you are a good hardworking person, the world does not slow down for anybody. Anyone can become homeless overnight but the thing that matters is how you deal with it. Another thing I liked about this movie is that it showed Chris not only overcoming his bad times but also breaking down. It shows us that when times get hard it is okay to cry. Its okay to admit that it is hard and that you feel pain. For example, in the restroom at the train station Chris played with his son until he fell asleep. Then when his son was sleeping in his arms, he cried. I really liked how he had his doubts but never let his son see that part of him. It reminded me that no matter how strong people may seem, everybody has pain.
