The Pursuit of Happyness
I'll just take it as my favorite movie.
Starring by Will Smith and his lil son, Jaden.
I'd been watching this movie for, let's take it 10 times. Is actually one of a movie that I got from my Filipino friend back in college. At first I thought it was a routine storyline movie, but indeed, it is, for some of them.
After I finished all the movie my friend gave me, I leave this at last, questioning myself, how nice would this be?
Really, you gotta finish the whole movie before you can but a conclusion for it.

It is based on a true story, Chris Gardner, an ordinary American, having a small family which is his wife, and his lil son. He made a failure in the beginning of his life by investing all of his money on a medical devise - portable bone density scanner, which at first, he thought that it would be a 'must' in the coming time, but eventually, it's just a scanner that provides slightly denser picture of x-ray, for twice the money.
Helplessly, he's counting on all the machines, as he has to sell at least two scanners a month for rent, day care payment of his son, taxes, and lots of bill. Unfortunately, is been a long time since he last sold the scanner. So, problems occurred, his wife pissed off and leave the house, and he has no more money to pay the rent and got chased off the house.
For his son, he desperately needs a job. And by the time he manage to earns an internship post at a brokerage firm Dean Witter, he realizes that he will not get pay during the internship period and only one will be choose from the interns to work for the firm...
It is the movie that made me think about my life, think about my future, my family, my wife, my kids, everything... It is not easy to survive out there. And it is not easy to run your own family. See, I can starve for days, I can wear RM5 shirts for my entire life, and I could just raise up my hand, and ask for a lil money to survive, but not my kid. It shows me that a mother's love is not infinitely more powerful than a man's. You gotta work as hard as you can to give them the best, and yet, you gotta teach them well.
"Hey! don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something, not even me.
you got a dream, you gotta protect it.
People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can't do it.
you want something, go get it."
probably the best scene in the movie
