Yesterday we went to see the new movie "The pursuit of happyness" (that's happyness with a 'y').
The movie is based on the true story of Chris Gardner, a homeless man with no steady income, raising a five year old son single handedly and struggling to make ends meet. But his determination at creating a better life for his son (which he didn't get from his father) keeps him fighting for life. The film is a 'from rags to riches' story filled with heart touching scenes and a lot of inspiration.
The real Chris Gardner walks across the screen at the closing episode of the movie.

Will Smith who plays the character of Chris Gardner in the movie, on the Oprah Winfrey show commented about how he felt when he met the real Chris Gardner, he compared it to the time when he met Nelson Mandela, "(when u come face to face with such a person) you get this overwhelming feeling, of how small you are, but at the same time, how big you can be"

Hey Sas,
I watched the movie recently & it touched my heart as well. This type of movies are very rare thesedays - where we mostly see action movies with probably aliens or mutants. Do you know that the little boy is actually Will Smith's son?
Nice work here, in you blog!! Very intellectual :D Keep it up!

Hey Has,
thanks for the comment. Yeah I agree most of the films that come out happen to be action packed. Not much of a 'morale of the story' :)
