Applying Your Knowledge
2. Type of film : human drama.
3. Director : Gabriele Muccino.
4. What was the movie based on?
A true story of mr.Chris Gardner.
5. setting : San Fransisco in America, 1980's.
6. Cast and characters : Will Smith / Chris Gardner - medical equipment salesman
→employee of stoc company.
Jaden Smith / Christopper Gardner - Chris' son, in kindergarten.
7. Plot summary : In San Francisco, medical equipment salesman, Chris Gardener works very hard to sell but no one wants to buy it. His son Christopher waits for his mom all day in a cheap kindergarten almost every day. This family was too poor to afford the taxes and their car had been taken away. Finally Chris' wife who couldn't stand her family's poverty, leaves her family. Chris and his son was kicked out of the house but even in this extreme situation Chris took good care of his son. Then one day Chris meets a successful stock broker who drives a red ferrari by chance. After this day Chris had a hope 'If they can do it, I can do it' and he applys for a stock broker internship. He unexpectedly got picked but he had to overcome the competitors. Chris have challenged very hard on the last opportunity to make his son happy. He finally became the top stock broker in Wall Street.
8. Personal opinion :
It is a common story most people have heard or seen. Behind story poor and toilsome days were look like a 'MBC Documentry 성공시대'. But a point of difference are this movie pursue the happiness than riches and make an end before praise the riches of success.
Chris was thinks smiling people in front stock company that seems so far. This movie enaciously wants impression of a spectator with Chris' poverty like the above. And a clear end anybody would be able to recognize is decreas the interest. Well.. i think just tedious.
If I received question "Do you think money is happiness?" then i would say "maybe..".
This movie reminds such a one as me that money and happiness coudn't sparate in a capitalist country. Even if Gabriele wants to say not a gorgeous praise his success but a change as a good farther and good man or whatever.
Anyway I think 'The pursuit of happyness.' is dvd movie.

Dear Mrs.Knowitall,
I have a serious problem that I need help with. Yesterday, I was getting ready to go out with my friends, but my purse didn't match my outfit so I borrowed my older sister's purse. She wasn't hom, but I knew she wouldn't mind if I borrowed it. As i was putting my things into her purse, I found a photo in the side pocket. I was so shocked because the photo was of my sister and my boyfriend together, and they looked just like a couple! I am still upset. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

You'd better be calm down. Be cool. I would like to suggest you to figure out this problem. Try to talk to your sister about what makes the sistuation.

Do not waste you time puting yourself into worthless .
