    The Pursuit of Happiness (2006 Film) – Directed by Gabriele Muccino

    Part II. Synthesis


    In the 2006 film entitled “The Pursuit of Happiness”, directed by Gabriele
    Muccino which was played by the one and only Will Smith as Chris Gardner, Based on
    a true story about a man named Chris Gardner. Gardner has invested heavily in a
    device known as a "bone density scanner". He feels like he has it made selling these
    devices. However, they do not sell well as they are marginally better than x-ray at a
    much higher price. As Gardner works to make ends meet, his wife leaves him and he
    loses his apartment. Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner continues to
    sell bone density scanners while concurrently taking on an unpaid internship as a
    stockbroker, with slim chances for advancement to a paid position. Before he can
    receive pay, he needs to outshine the competition through 6 months of training, and to
    sell his devices to stay afloat.
    Chris Gardner, a single father, is struggling to make ends meet. Tired of Chris's
    professional failures, his wife decides to separate, leaving him financially broke. He and
    his small son have been evicted from their residence and are now homeless. Chris
    ultimately secures a position as an intern at a famous brokerage business, but the
    employment is unpaid. The two must live in shelters and face numerous challenges, but
    Chris refuses to give up hope in his quest for a better life for his son.
    Part III. Movie Scene Description
    The part that really catches my attention is when Chris Gardner was doing the
    interview wearing clothes that made him looked like a garbage man. It was really
    fascinating to watch because he managed to pull off an important interview looking like
    that, we all know that in a job interview you should look decent and presentable but with
    his honesty and wittiness he made the interview looked easy.
    That part of the movie was really relevant to me because I see my own self in
    Chris Gardner in an interview. I myself would do the same thing what Chris did in an
    interview and its being true to oneself, yes its common to act all good and pretend who
    you are not just to pass a job interview but most of the time it just won’t work. Employers
    don’t need that kind of employee for them, what they are searching are people that
    knows who they really are.

    Part IV. Learning Insights


    While watching the movie I could really relate to it because I can see my own
    father in Chris, like Chris my father also does his best finding any type of job or
    business just to earn money to give a better life for me, his son. My father entered
    different kind of jobs and businesses from being an OFW, Bus driver, and now selling
    medicine. With his hardships and determination to provide for his family and with that I
    know what type of father I would like to become in the future.
    Life is not that easy as you expect, it will not always go as what you had planned.
    In life there would be many hardships, problems, and trials that would be on your way.
    The only one thing you should never do is quit, yes it will be hard it will not be easy but if
    you really want it that bad you need to just go forward focus on your goals, you should
    learn from the mistakes you made, you should be stronger and better with each
    experience in life and with that no matter how long it takes in the end all your hard work
    will always be worth it.

    Part V. Conclusion
    After finishing the movie I would highly recommend this for people who are in the
    brink of giving up, this movie shows how you need to fight for your dreams and for you
    to fight for the future of your family. This movie shows how hard work and perseverance
    with confidence will get you in life. Life must go on no matter what happens don’t give
    up believe in yourself and go make your dreams into reality.
