The pursuit of happyness


director: Gabriele Muccino
Don't think i misspelt happiness...
may be the title indicates we are all in a pursuit of misspelt happiness...
Chris Gardner (Will smith)is one such...
While he poses for the camera with his wife Linda(Thandie newton) with his newly bought piled up densitometers at the start of his new life as sales man... he doesn't realise that his big smile is a mistake...
its hard to sell the machine which shows slightly denser picture than x ray but for double the price... San Fransisco doctors are smart enough to not buy his words and his machines...
as that schizo who is in constant run after this machines mistaking it for a time machine... Gardner is in constant run in the pursuit of happyness... masterly eluding mi spelt happiness!
he loses his car... (as there is no money to pay parking bills)...he loses his wife(there are other bills too.. isn't it?)he loses his house (actually its not his house but rented without rent for past six months)he loses his friend...(at the desperate financial crisis 14 dollars worth more than a friend ... isnt it?)
but he is determined not to loose the two things he love most... his son Christopher(truly his son Jaden Christopher smith) and the pursuit of happyness (bear with me... i promise you i will not repeat the title again)
he wanna become a stock broker...
i could hear you are laughing loudly...
a man without home and without a good schooling.... a stock broker...
some are asking mockingly like is wife Linda... why cant he become an astronaut....
i wanna tell you folks... there is a space for fairy tale in real life (this is a true story)...
and the time has this invisible wand... it moves it pieces silently... and the things we think only happens in dreams may happen in our life...
if you have the determination of the Gardner...
and if you save a bit wit even at the most desperate situations... like say attending your most important interview of your life without your shirts on...
there is surely a place for fairy tales in your life...
some say this is a depressing movie... some say this is a mere tear jerk er...
and i want to say to those some who are not moved at the final moment where Gardner merges into the 1981 San Fransisco street crowd overwhelmed with happiness...
let they soak their heart in a vinegar to make it little more tender...
Will Smith sparkles... and thanks to the DNA that are perfectly transcript ed, master smith sparkles too here and there...
My marks: 50 out of 100
