This is one of the best movies I have seen in the recent times. I liked it so much that I was compelled to write a review on it on my blog.
Will Smith acts in this touching true story of a man who struggles through poverty, broken marriage and lack of formal education (read degrees) to achieve happiness. Giving him company are his son and his determination and confidence. The manner in which he bears all the responsiblities and difficulties without shedding a tear and still manages to outperform everyone in a highly competitive batch of wannabe stock brokers in heart warming.
As for the way this movie has been shot, fantastic is the word. The movie has a quiet feel to it and doesn't go to the extent of getting melodramatic to show the emotions as most of our Hindi movies do. The direction is fabulous and the director is successful in making the audience feel the hardships that the characters face. The dialogues are such that they will be etched in the memory for a long time. One of my favourites is when Will Smith talks about happiness and says that someone has rightly said that happiness can only be pursued and can never be had.
My view...go and watch this must watch movie!!
