The Pursuit of Happyness
February 26, 2007
On my way back to home from office on Saturday I dropped at a movie shop to get a nice movie. There were number of good movies so it was darn difficult to take my pick. Finally I decided to go for The Pursuit of Happyness.Wow what a BEAUTIFUL movie with an inspirational message of love and determination. Surely it has become one of my fav movies. Staring Will Smith and his real-life son, the movie is based on a true story of Christopher Gardner. The movie has some fine & touching scenes of father-son relationship and a man who struggles in his life to make his living. Will Smith gave his finest performance and he got an academy award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. It’s a must see………
Dialogues that Christopher Gardner (Will Smith) had with his son Christopher (Junior Will Smith) in the movie…………..
Christopher Gardner: [to his son] You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.
________________________________________
Christopher Gardner: It’s not “H-A-P-P-Y-N-E-S-S” Happiness is spelled with an “I” instead of a “Y”
Christopher: Oh, okay. Is “Fuck” spelled right?
Christopher Gardner: Um, yes. “Fuck” is spelled right but you shouldn’t use that word.
Christopher: Why? What’s it mean?
Christopher Gardner: It’s, um, an adult word used to express anger and, uh, other things. But it’s an adult word. It’s spelled right, but don’t use it.
________________________________________
Christopher Gardner: Probably means there’s a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not.
Christopher: Okay.
Christopher Gardner: So, what does probably mean?
Christopher: It means we have a good chance.
Christopher Gardner: And what does possibly mean?
Christopher: I know what it means! It means we’re not going to the game.

Christopher: Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said “Do you need help?” and the man said “God will save me”. Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said “God will save me”, then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, “God, why didn’t you save me?” and God said “I sent you two boats, you dummy!”

its seriously a good one …. i just watched part of it, till when he tells his wife to pick up Christopher and take her to the park, and he’s due for an interview at the firm…
a must watch movie… i’m sure that i’ll love it right till the end… i hope the local cinema people show it too… its truly worth it… and yes Will Smith is a superb actor in every movie i’ve seen of his.
another movie i want to and will watch is THE PRESTIGE.

now i’ve seen the whole movie… and i must say that its truly an AWESOME movie… a must watch for those who are somewhat depressed or stressed out due to whatever reason.
you’ll begin to realise, you’re certainly much much better off than millions of fellow inhabitants of earth.

unfortunately its not!We can if we are let to…but we are seldom let to ..and if ever let to do then with accusations which ruin the taste.

it was ok…I found it dissapointing in the end…or maybe I saw a cut version….somehow…something was left begging…it shouldve gone on for a little longer…
it was a situation similar to if Erin Brockovich didnt get the big cheque in the end….get it? I dont know…it just seemed incomplete…
