I am inspired greatly by this movie as this movie tells a story, that is so overwhelming, about the life of a man called Chris Gardener and his son Christopher as he pursues his aim for life in the cruel, harsh, yet possible to thrive world of... San Francisco 1981.
Chris Gardener, a courageous young man-played by Will Smith who has always lived a poor life from selling 'Portable Bone Density' scanners to yearning doctors and hospitals alike. His son Christopher Gardener-Will Smith's actual son learns a lot from his resilient and inspiring father, never giving up even when it seems that all the odds in the world were against them. The story begins at a turning point, which is when Chris' wife leaves him. This is a dark time for both the father and son. I extremely like this film because of it's moral that no matter what happens, if you keep trying then you will always triumph. It is because of this that I believe lifts this film up above other films. The film also has funny moments however it also has a place in my heart, to never give up.
It was heart-warming to see this film for the first time and I would definitely watch it 10 times more and rate it 5 Stars again every single time.
