REVIEW OF THE FILM
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
The pursuit of happiness is 2006 American movie based on Chris
Gardener’s one year struggle with homelessness .Directed by Gabriele
Mucking; the film features Wail Smith as Gardener, an-on-and of
homeless salesman turned stockbroker. In this film there is a man
Gardener who try his best to care for his wife Linda and son. His
business was not going well. And his wife use to do job for their
survival. One day Gardener meets a man driving an expensive car talk
to him and fined out that the man is a stockbroker and that he doesn’t
need a college degree to become a stockbroker, all that needed is to be
good with people and good with number. Gardener thought of
becoming a stockbroker. He then pursues his brand new dream of
becoming a stockbroker for Dean Witter. Because of all this tension
gardener wife leaves him and took her son. Gardener fights to keep
their son him .Linda with him. His wife does not fight too hard, and
leaves him and took her son with gardener fight to keep their son with
gardener .his condition got better and gained money by doing job .but
government deducted this money for some tax .and again he was left
with only 20 pounds. He was asked to leave his house. They were
undergoing through a critical condition without money and no house to

2. live. He worked hard and atlast he gets good job and he runs and comes
and hug his son tightly with happiness.
From this film I understand “no matters what happens
things turn out for the best in the end if he works hard to achieve. In
this film something good happens Then something really bad happens.
the bad thing becomes a problem for gardener to solve. The gardener
solves the problem. Then the cycle starts again. The gardener struggles
generally come in two varieties. His lack of money and his
embarrasement over not having any money. And even through
gardener son is put through lot of stress for a young child, their
relationship is not really strained.
