“Will Smith stars in this movie tale inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith). When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise Christopher on his own. Chris’ determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self- confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.”[1]
This really is the basics of the movie. Throughout the movie I really felt for Chris, he just goes through one trial after the other. I cannot imagine having to stand in such extremely long line for so long and just hope to get a room in the homeless shelter, but I know it happens every day. Chris has to keep his son in mind and does a lot of the things that he does for him. He hates to see his son homeless and out on the streets, but together Chris and Christopher get through the trials and are able to make it. It is incredible that Chris got the job he did and he showed hard work and determination.
