Movie review

“The pursuit of happyness”

Director: Gabriele Muccino

Actors: Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Jaden Smith

Year of release: 2006

Based on a true story, this movie is about a man that has invested heavily in a device known as a "Bone Density scanner". As he is trying to figure it out how to sell this scanner his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account and credit cards. Forced to leave on the streets with his son, desperate to find a job, he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training, and to sell his devices.

Why is “happiness” spelled wrong in the title?

The title is intentionally misspelled; the misspelled phrase is actually taken from an essay written in 1776 that argued that whites and blacks were created equal.

Genre: Drama

Movie rating: 7.8

18 nominations for oscar and 10 wins.

I personally think that Will Smith did an amazing job playing this roll; he acted with his child so that gave more emotion to the scenes, is a movie of 2006 so it doesn’t have the same image quality as actual movies.

I like this movie because it shows you that you can never give up even if you think that there’s anything else to do you have to fight for what you want and it’s about a man that is doing everything for him and his child so I think is beautiful.

In my country many people love this movie every time that this movie is on tv they are always watching it, I will definitely recommend this movie is beautiful and make you think many things about life, like feel appreciated for everything you have.
