Christina's Favourite Film:

The pursuit of happyness

"The pursuit of happyness" is a 2006 American biographical drama film based on the story of Chris Gardner. At the beginning of the film we meet our characters Chris Gardner who is played by Will Smith and Christopher his son who is played by Will Smith’s son Jaden Christopher Smith. Chris tries to sell some medical scanners for his living but nobody is buying them so he struggles for money and his wife abandons him. But Chris insists that Christopher their son stay with him.  While trying to sell one of his scanners Chris meats Dean Witter and he is impressed by Chris when he solves a Rubik cube while riding a cab. So Chris gets an internship as a stockbroker which is an unpaid while trying to spend as little money as possible on food and expenses. As a result of not having enough money Chris and Christopher get kicked out of their apartment and they become homeless. They have to sleep in many places like in the toilet of a subway station and various shelters. After many struggles Chris manages to get the job as a stockbroker and in the end he becomes a successful businessman.

The title of the movie is also the meaning, you have to pursuit happiness and you will finally find it after time and work. I love this movie because every time I watch it I feel happy and hopeful. My favorite scene in this movie is when Chris manages to repair one of his scanners so he could sell it to get by a little longer. I would recommend this movie to my classmates because it is a very touching movie. It gives you hope that if you work hard enough you can change your future and you can achieve your dreams.
