The Movie Review of The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

In The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a family man struggling to make ends meet. Despite his valiant attempts to help keep the family afloat, the mother (Thandie Newton) of his five-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith) is buckling under the constant strain of financial pressure. No longer able to cope, she reluctantly decides to leave. Chris, now a single father, continues doggedly to pursue a better-paying job using every sales skill he knows. He lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, and although there is no salary, he accepts, hopeful he will end the program with a job and a promising future. Without a financial cushion, Chris and his son are soon evicted from their apartment and forced to sleep in shelters, bus stations, bathrooms, or wherever they can find refuge for the night. Despite his troubles, Chris continues to honor his commitment as a loving and caring father, using the affection and trust his son has placed in him as an impetus to overcome the obstacles he faces. Below is piece of conversation between Father and Son which I liked most in this movie. Infact these all lines so motivating that it force everyone to think once... Just enjoy the lines but request is there... Plz try to understand the wordings...
Christopher Gardner (Father): Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher (Son): All right.
Christopher Gardner (Father): You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it.

Starring: Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Dan Castellaneta, Thandie Newton, Brian Howe
