The document discusses the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness, which is based on the true story of Chris Gardner, a man who struggled with homelessness while caring for his young son. The film depicts a scene where Chris and his son have nowhere to sleep for the night and are worried about their situation. Through Will Smith's performance as Chris, the viewer senses his worry, while the son is too young to understand the severity of their predicament. The film's soundtrack and music are used to convey emotion and emphasize Chris's feelings of sadness and hope to lift his son's spirit.

2. Pursuit of happyness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLwjEtY4uas The performance conveys through the expression on Chris Gardner's face and the emotion you can hear in his voice that he is truly worried about where they are going to sleep for the night, You can tell from the performance of the son that he's too young to understand how tragic his predicament is. Up until Will smiths son puts his hand on the box there's no music, maybe that’s the directors intention so you can focus on the seriousness and the situation that Chris Gardner is really in. As soon as the boys hand goes onto the machine a very quiet note plays in the background that builds and builds, that tone maybe a representation of the boys soul being lifted out of the predicament he is in by pretending to be in a different time period. And when Chris Gardner and his son are in the toilet the tone changes to a sadder tone maybe to emphasise how Chris Gardner feels.
