Movie Review : The Pursuit of

Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a refreshing account of the power of the human
spirit and a warm story of improbable achievement. It captivated me thoroughly
from beginning to end. I found that this elevating story of perseverance and the
arduous path to true happiness is expressed in an impressively cohesive and artistic
manner.

Based on a true story, this film tells the story of Chris Gardner, a financially
struggling seller of bone density scanners in San Francisco in the 1980s.

He's far beyond the poverty line between his declining sales and the sending of his
child, a five - year - old named Christopher, to daycare and taking care of seemingly
endless bills and rents.

Any chance of a happy life appears futile to Chris. Chris meets the stock market
building on his daily walk from work. He immediately idolizes the happiness and
wealth of the wealthy stock brokers and longs for this kind of true happiness.

Gardner boldly concludes that he has to pursue a career on the stock market with
little success in his own field. Miraculously, his persistent initiative draws the
attention of the Dean Witter Reynolds company's major employees.

Chris succeeds in impressing them with his wit and his drive, although he is
completely inexperienced and shows up for an interview in paint-covered
clothes. Then Gardner starts a coveted, fiercely competitive unpaid internship at the
brokerage company. He does not keep up with his rent and falls into debt. It leaves
him abandoned and expelled from his apartment by his wife. But soon enough,
Chris Gardner returns from this all-time low.

The rest of the film describes the relentless work of Gardner while living as a
homeless working father. He has to juggle between his internship at the firm, caring
for Christopher, and finding a spot in whatever homeless shelter is vacant. By the
end of the movie,I felt so deeply attached to Chris and his son that when he landed
the position at Dean Witter Reynolds out of nineteen other people, I almost cried
along with him.

The Pursuit of Happyness is truly a genuine, raw, and emotion-evoking film that
strikes a strong sense of empathy and connection within its viewer. The themes of
resilience, family, and happiness really resonated with me and can apply to any
viewer’s life as well. Despite my initial uncertainty with my choice of movie,
disinterest in the stock market, and intolerance to longer movies,

I consider this film appropriate for all audiences and absolutely outstanding.
