The Pursuit of Happyness was a movie that really stuck in my head. It taught me the meaning of happiness, and what it takes to be happy. Will Smith portayed a man desperate for money to provide a better life for his son. Jaden Smith played the role of Will Smith's son in the movie. This might have come easy to him because he is Will Smith's actual son. He filled the part perfectly and gave an absolutely stunning performance. Will Smith is trying to strike it rich through the stock brokerage business. The movie shows all of the ups and downs of his life throughout this journey, but in the end the movie ends in happiness!
