The Pursuit of Happyness

I love Will Smith's acting from the first time I saw him at "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". Through this film he really shows his quality. He's the one that brings this long film into a well-meaning struggle of life of a father and an individual. If I only can give one sentence to give comment about this film, I would say: I envy Chris Gardner for his dream and persistence.

Below is the resume taken from NY POST:
In 1981 San Francysco, Will Smyth is Chris Gardner, a hard-working salesman who can't believe that his son's Chinatown day-care center sports a sign promising "Fun and Happyness." Above it, a graffito of a word ending in -uck is spelled perfectly. So goes the frustrating life of a struggling father.

For dad, things get worse: Chris' wife (Thandie Newton) is so disgusted by his business failures that she leaves him to raise the boy by himself. That's a burden he doesn't need as he lugs his product - portable bone-density scanners - between doctors' offices. He carries these things himself, but he can't move them: They merely offer a "slightly denser picture than an X-ray for twice the money." That one line of detail lifts the whole movie out of the realm of holiday fantasy entertainment and into reality, where people have specific, non-fun jobs that consume most of their time. Every time Chris lifts one of those scanners, your arm will ache.

Dazed by a stockbroker's Ferrari, Chris tries to land an internship at the brokerage Dean Witter, but he isn't selling enough scanners to pay the rent, much less his parking tickets and back taxes. Dean Witter likes his good-natured confidence and obvious intelligence (sharing a cab with an executive, he solves the guy's Rubik's Cube, 1981's leading frustrator), even when he shows up dissheveled and underdressed in a scene in which he casually demonstrates how to convert a useless commodity - bad luck - into a valuable anecdote.
