the biographyWatched 'The Pursuit of Happyness' yesterday. A great movie. What I liked especially is the manner in which most of the key scenes have been handled ... the sad emotions are muted and so is the climax.... no excessive dramatization at either end. Everything else in between is realistic.
Will Smith is brilliant, but Denzel Washington probably would have suited the character so much better.
Brilliant story, well told. The facts from wikipedia make for compelling reading ... It's hard to imagine that someone in circumstances so extreme could have the imagination and inspiration to develop a vision, leave alone realize it well beyond his dreams.

hmm.... me saw it last week too. Although the story is inspirational I wouldn't rate the movie great or anything. It's a good movie with a good story. For me a great movie is something which makes me cry and this didn't happen to me in "Pursuit of Happiness". Perhaps these rags to riches story are a bit commonplace these days I think ?
I was watching this movie called the "The Other side" (Spanish movie with English Subtitles). Check it out if you can. I can guarantee you some moist eyes.
cool ...will check it out. I believe that the genius of the movie is that it doesn't overdo anything ... just tells the story for what it is.
thanks
Good for people to know.
