The Pursuit of Happyness →[More:]is a wonderful movie. I’d gone to see it today with my mom and sis and enjoyed it tremendously. Will Smith isn’t the greatest actor in the world, but he’s not the worst either, however, I think his son gave the better performance. I knew I’d seen him somewhere (on Oprah I think, a couple of weeks ago), and while the credits were rolling, just wanted to make sure if it was him, and sure enough—it was. That somehow made the movie a little bit more special for me. It was good to see Father and Son act together, and Thandie Newton’s performance wasn’t half-bad either. But Thandie Newton is Thandie Newton. If you haven’t seen any of her performances before you should try and catch her in that Indie? Australian movie whose name is escaping me now. Don’t worry—I’m sure you’ll find it in IMDb. I would’ve searched for it myself, but then it would disturb the flow of this post, and I don’t want to break my concentration (hate it when that happens!).
Anyway, back to the film: what I particularly liked about it, was the PURSUIT part of the movie. The pursuit that we all have to go through, to get that little bit of Happiness that we want in our lives, and what we do to accomplish that. I’d made a post a few days ago about finding a reason for doing the job that I’m doing right now, and worrying that it might be a bit too technical for me, but trying to hang in there for my customers’ sake. But you know what, there’s someone else whose sake I should be worried about foremost than any customer, and that’s my mom, or my sis, or my dad, and the benefit that they have of someone else in the family earning. And then maybe I can worry about my customers. Because it’s only when I know that I NEED this job will I strive to work harder at it.
