Reflection Paper on Pursuit of Happyness
No movie gives an impact better than a story that happens in a setting closer to the real scenarios of life. The movie Pursuit of Happyness acted by Will Smith gives us lessons in life in its rawest form. The film happens with a great taste of honesty. It teaches lessons you can use in your daily lives.
The movie starts with the Gardner couple having problems, which is a common scene for people nowadays. The protagonist earns money by selling bone density scanners which he sells to medical institutions, which does not sell much. Chris Gardner’s lack of ability to make a living made her wife Linda to leave them. It gives us the picture that people can be full of other’s crap that they will leave you when they had enough. It teaches us to not let other people expect things you can’t meet them. Even if you are trying your hardest to reach it, but if you ended up not reaching it, it will still make them feel bad about you. But it makes me realize that it’s not the end when you are left by the ones you love, instead, it will fuel you to go further, and strive harder.
Chris, without occupation, still made a way to get his son Christopher to his custody. They had to move to a motel because they were asked to leave their house because they can’t pay the rent. Christopher didn’t mind living anywhere as long as he’s with his dad. But it hurts Chris so much since he will have to let his son leave in a less comfortable place. It shows us how a parent is hurt when he can’t give his son or daughter his or her prime necessities. But, like Christopher, he shows us that there is no better place to stay than in his parent’s side. It makes me realize how I have to be grateful that I’m still together with my mother at this very moment – since my father is dead already. If I had to live a less comfortable life, compared to what I have now, I think I will still feel fine, as long as I got my mother by my side. At times when I will have to go to school with less than enough allowance,
