A movie like Pursuit of Happiness made once in a decade. Whenever you watch one good movie then it leaves a lifelong impact on you and craves you to watch similar movies. The pursuit of Happiness is the type of movie I am talking about.
I mean just think deeply what if one movie reflects yourself and you feel like you are watching your own life story? Isn’t it mesmerizing to see a part of yourself on the screen?
If you watch movies from an open-minded way then you can learn a lot from it. There are many but impossible to write it down here. You don’t have to go to any courses for personality development or attend some webinars, just find one good movie through a search on the web and watch it with an open perspective.
Why I choose this movie as an example because the pursuit of Happyness leaves a lifelong impact on my life and I still remember each and every scene of this movie after 4 years. That is why Will Smith is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood among all.
Medical, Law, Education, Business, Engineering, etc are essentials for a sustainable life but romance, knowledge, love, poetry, etc is what we are living for. Agree?
The pursuit of Happyness will not tell you how to earn money or a 3 hr entertainment but it will showcase a father-son love and deeper understanding. It will show you after no money with a life full of struggles how one father goes par to makes his son happy and give all that he wants. This movie will make you realize that family love and hard work is the only key to Happyness.
