in preparation for write this comment and which i be compel to write for reason which will become clear and i read a fair few of the major critic to see and if on this occasion and they have see and felt what i have . james bernadelli suggest this film should be know a the pursuit of richness while another column i have read suggests that the money will solve your problem resolution be depress and not the message hollywood ( or art in general ) should be try to put across . i ask myself when the last occasion might have be that any of these critic genuinely have to representspoiler represent run and under painful and embarrassing duress and from a cab because they do not have the money while or when the force of life seem to conspire against them so unfairly that they break down in tear . spoiler represent when your wealthy bos and who you can not disappoint and ask you to borrow the last five dollar in your wallet and and you know that that money be all you have in the world to fee your family and to pay your gas . you go through time in life when you feel that thing couldn not possibly get bad and then they do and then they do again . sometimes and ( like chris and son at the beach towards the end of the film ) you just want to get away from it all and other time you cry . sometimes and and this be rare and you laugh because if you do not you will cry . you know that if you let it all become too much and you will sink to the bottom of the sea . chris gardner ( not the real one perhaps and but the one in this movie ) be my personal hero while my shin example while my inspiration the guy that never allow himself to sink even when he can feel his shoelace trail on the seabed . i realise a i be watch this film that i be watch another me and so i never once stop root for chris . when he representspoiler represent fix the scanner in the shelter and i felt like i have fix it . i be still work on get the job that earn me enough to have a less painful life when chris finally achieve it and i want it for him so badly that i feel it in the very fibre of my be . i suppose that it doesn not matter that much that chris want to succeed a much for his son a for himself . in a way and the fact that chris have a son make this movie emotionally frightening and if ( and only if ) our base fear be be toy with by the director and it be only in exactly the same way that we sometimes look up in to the sky and say like jim carrey in bruce almighty be there anything else you could possibly do to me today . in my life and god doesn not appear and explain why he keep toy with me . the true belief be in oneself and one must never lose it . i adore this movie and i couldn not be more grateful for it existence . it come at a time when i need it most . it message represent keep go never and ever give up . and so i come back to those reviewer . money certainly doesn not mean happiness in this existence and but no money and in this cruel capitalist world and can cost you your life . do not be judgmental of those who want more and it might just be enough to pay for their son to eat and to keep a roof over his head and to keep their dignity . this film be not about rag to riches a some reviewer have say . it not about the american dream either . it be about dignity and integrity and how money ( or lack thereof ) could easily strip you of both . chris gardner never lose either and for this and he be an inspiration to u all . see this film today .
