Pursuit of Happyness

Now playing : Diana Krall - Fly Me To The Moon

Recently I watched the Pursuit of Happyness starring the great Will Smith. In the show, he questioned happiness. Why is it a pursuit? I guess happiness is something people pursue. People strive for happiness in various ways. It doesn't just fall down from the sky. In order to be happy, different people will have to chase for the things that make them happy...? It's a really good movie. Will Smith plays Chris who is a salesman for some bone density scanner. Life wasn't easy...he became broke even before he knew it. In the movie, Chris's wife left him and he tried to pursue a career in stockbroking. In order to do that, he took up the 6 months internship program which means no salary. Only 1 is chosen at the end of the program to be hired. During those months, the events that occurred that sent him into a homeless frenzy while working hard in his internship program as well as trying to sell off the scanners was pretty heart wrenching. Chris is a character of strong willpower and confidence and Will Smith did a pretty damn good job at it and still came out looking damn good.
