The Pursuit of Happiness

There are only a few movies which have touched deep in my heart. One of the latest movie i watched "The Pursuit of happiness" was also able to touch deep in my heart....so i couldn't stop myseld from writing its review. Thanks to my friend who recommended me to watch the movie and provided me its DVD.
This movie is the story of a man struggling in his life. It's also a story of a loving father. Christopher (Will Smith) the lead actor of the movie is a seller of bone density scanner (a portable medical device). He works hard and lives with his wife and his son. But their life is in misery as the income of both christopher and his wife Linda goes on paying the taxes and bills. The both couple are struggling hard just to solve their hand to mouth problem and providing good care to their son. One day on seeing the stock brokers and their luxurious life style Christopher also wants to become a stock broker "a high paying job " . But for a high school passed person like christopher being stock broker is not easy. The film is all about how he becomes stock broker. The struggles done by christopher to become stock broker is very impressive. I would love to.....but i don't want to......narrate here how he struggles and achieves his dream because if you have watched this movie you already know it and if you haven't yet watched it then, I recommend you to watch it
The struggle of christopher and his love towards his son are two of the things of the movie that touched me deeply. The director has well portrayed the father son relationship in the movie. When i was watching the movie i felt like how much do people can struggle. And behind the story of every successful people in this world there is another hidden story of struggle with life. But when we see them we only see their successful part. If we could see the struggle and understand how they overcome their difficulties then it would be a great lesson. The only lesson i learned by watching this movie is.....struggle hard if you want to be successful in life.
