>the pursuit of happiness isn't living a decent life with your loved ones on a steady income doing something you enjoy, it's gambling your entire life savings on a get-rich-quick scheme, fail, and then try again betting everything of being accepted for an unpaid internship on a big stockbroker company and then being the single one guy who will get hired, all while living in abject poverty, forcing your son to be homeless, trampling on the fellow poorfags who stands in your way for whatever little scraps you can find, and using the last few bucks in your possession not to feed your child, but to kiss the asses of the billionaires who might eventually hire you if they take a liking on you because you paid their cab ride or whatever
What a quintessentially American movie.
>>212883961 (OP)Will Smith's character was a selfish asshole. What kind of person risks the welfare of his child by taking an unpaid job for months? He should have gotten a real job
>>212883961 (OP)It's called 'Pursuit of Happiness' not "Happiness'. Imagine lacking media literacy to this degree.
>>212884078Or at least have two jobs. If you don't have family members who can help you with a child, accept your lot in life and toil away in normal job. He was indeed a selfish asshole.
i remember seeing this as a kid and thinking it was charming and inspiring. thinking about it now will smith's character is completely fucked up.
Why couldn't the mother take care of the child again? She wasn't even alone since she went back to her relatives
Will Ferrell is such an unlikeable piece of shit. You just wait, some scandal is about to come to light about this guy…it’ll be a major news headline and i’ll be like “i told you so”
This movie would be better if all the actors were white or hot asian girls
Hell yeah brother. The persuit of happiness is learning to bend the universe to your will rather than bending to its.
Someone post the restroom scene where the guy really needs to take a piss but Will won't let him. Absolutely brutal.
>>212884261Nobody forces you to. Feed yourself however you like, faggot.
>>212884366I like the scene where he shoves an old lady away to not lose the bus
