The Pursuit of Happyness

This film is about a father and a son who struggles with financial problems . In the beginning of the movie, Chris Gardner's wife was still there and very supportive and as time went by she slowly stopped being the supportive wife she was before . In the middle of the movie she left her husband and her child to be in New York and try to make some money because as she said , she wasn't happy anymore .

1. What happen's in Chris Gardners Life to make him and his son become homeless?

He didn't have enough money for rent which caused him and his son to get kicked out .

2. Did the Events appear to you to be the result of someone's fault, poor decesions, or just a sequence of events?

I think it was poor decesion, because behind everything you do you always have to think it through and ask yourself what if... Also just a sequence of events because everyone makes mistakes and you can always re-do things and start a new beiginning but you just have to strive for what you want/need.

3. What would be different for Chris in this same situation if he didn't have his son, Christopher, to care for?

He wouldn't have to leave his intern to become a stock-broker earlier and i don't think he would be as depresed but, I don't think he would be as movtivated because i think it's his son that keeps him up and movtivated.

4. What would be different for Chris and his son in this same situation if they became homeless in Chicago?

I think what would be different is the location and finding a job would probably be harder.

5. What appears to be the most difficult aspect for Chris and his son as they use emergency shelters?

Getting there to time to have a bed, leaving work earlier than usual and picking up his son from Day-Care.

6. What do you think keeps Chris going when he hits 'bottom' in the despair of his situation?

I believe his son is what kept him going when he hit rockbottom .

7. What do you think would have happened to Chris and his son if he had not been the intern selected for the job?

I think if he hadn't been selected to become an intern he would look and try for another job . Just because, the kind of man he is .. He is a striver and trys to do what he can for him and his family .

Watching this film made me realize anyone from anywhere can become what they want if they try hard enough . For example , Chris Gardner came from nothing . He was poor and now he's rich =]

I believe if you have the determination and the movtivation you can achieve anything and that is the lesson learned in this film .
