The movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” is about a man named Christopher Gardner. For me, this movie is extremely touching and I learned a lot of things from watching this movie. Christopher invested much of his family's funds into a machine identified as the Bone Density Scanner. Christopher believes that the machine would be a classy machine that all doctors would use and that he would be rich selling it. However, the Bone Density Scanner did not sell as he had expected because the machine is almost the same as the newer one, but with a higher price. As the days pass Christopher on his quest trying to sell the Bone Density Scanner, his partner leaves him; he loses his house, his bank account and his possessions. This forced Christopher and his son to become homeless and live on the streets. At this time in his life, Christopher desperately needs a job. Christopher has to overcome the most difficult moment of his life. In my opinion, this part of the film is extremely sad, but Christopher didn't give up and dedicated himself to taking care of his son no matter what it took. One day, Christopher noticed a chance to get an internship with Dean Witter as a stockbroker, but before he could get paid he had to go through six months of training with twenty other candidates. In the best moment in the story, Christopher got a call from Dean Witter's boss and told him that he had done great with his training and that his first day as a broker would be tomorrow. Christopher rushes to pick up his son from daycare and hug him knowing that everything he went through with his son would be okay and that he wouldn't have to struggle anymore. This movie taught me the need to experiment and... .... middle of paper ...... resolve your pursuit of happiness. Social interaction is a process in which the help of your family guides you on your path to finding happiness. This can be demonstrated in a variety of settings and occasions, primarily family dinners at home. In conclusion, I have learned that anyone in this society can make it in America. Christopher was “nobody.” He was penniless, but had an ordinary gift of intellect, charisma and drive that made him one in a million. It makes no sense to assume that “Pursuit of Happyness” proves that anyone can do it; on the contrary, this film shows that, for someone starting from scratch in America, it takes an absurd amount of attitude and strength to pull yourself up. Life is what we make it. We as people can shape our lives in the best possible way. In order to be successful in life, your desires for success must outweigh your fear of failure.
