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.

BORAT

This film was a critical and commercial success, despite an initially limited release in "the US and A" (this is the way Borat called USA). Cohen won the 2007 Golden Globe award for Best Actor: Musical or Comedy as Borat while the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture in the same categories. Borat is currently nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 79th Academy Awards.

Borat has been surrounded by controversy before and after its release. It has been criticized for having a prejudiced title character, and some of the film's subjects have criticized and/or sued its creators. It has also been effectively banned in Russia and formally banned in all Arab countries other than Lebanon.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America to Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a long title but suits the plot for the film very well. For me, the film is very hilarious, and I always laugh all over again every time I tell it my friends. However, please notice that it's not recommended for teenagers and children for its sexual content including graphic nudity and language. Beyond the crude humor , I feel sorry for them who are being laughed by Borat's character/the film.

Among other things, it's worthed to watch...
