Will Smith played the role of Christopher Gardner based on a true story film, The Pursuit of Happyness. In the film, Gardner was then a homeless salesman who suffered from the life pressure. He was a salesman who invested his family saving just in order to try demonstrating and selling portable bone-density scanners to doctors. But unfortunately his plan just turned such burdensome to him and turned his life upside down. Not just that, his wife also left him because she thought that they have no future anymore. Luckily Gardner still has his only son, Christopher Jr. played by Smith’s off-screen son, Jaden.
Based on my opinion, this movie has such a strong value for example we can see Smith’s character have gone through from ups and downs from the start until the end. He’s such a strong man physically and mentally just to reach one goal, happiness. Not just for his happiness, also for his son’s. Especially can be seen when his wife left him with nothing and after his plan for the scanners were turned down, that forced him to be homeless. At that moment, it honestly left me almost teary-eyed to see Gardner and his son unwillingly to spend their night at the subway’s bathroom.
Honestly saying, I hardly bear to see this kind of struggle ones need to face. But this is the reality we as a human need to humbly endure in our life. With such a strong and heartfelt performance by Will Smith, the movie has no doubt and proven to be a great movie with a precious value. His character never simply gave up in anything that he does. Because in life, giving up is never be the answer to solve our problems. Because life is never unfair, the thing is we just need to wait for it to come. Sooner or later. Like in the end of the movie, it tells us that Christopher Gardner finally gets his happiness by getting a new job and later, owning a multi-million brokerage firm.
