Pursuit of HappYness...

I happened to watch this movie pursuit of happYness. Its a simple story of a man, who is in search of happiness. A man who dreams of being happy someday, just like every other person does in life. The whole movie wonderfully narrates, how he goes about 'pursuing' happines.

I must confess, it's one of those very few movies, that I truly loved watching every bit of it. It is not some kinda larger-than-life story or a movie that 'preaches' you some flurrying philospohy. Full credits to Will Smith, for pulling off the performance of his life time (so far). Too good a performance...
My personal favourite, are the lines below (Will Smith speaks to his son in a basket ball court)...
"Hey, don't ever listen to somebody who says u can't do it, Not even me... U got a dream, U gotta protect it... People can't do something themselves... they wanna say U can't do it... U want something? Go get it! Period..."

The movie for sure addresses the whole issue that I often get to read in papers, where people complain of the so-called happiness factor missing in their life, in spite of every possible luxury they possess. One doesn't need to look for it elsewhere. It's within us. It's just that we fail to realize it, or rather don't have the drive to pursue it...

PS: A must watch movie for all those have been victimized by this so called illusion of I-shall-also- be- happy-someday. Even if u haven't been victimized yet, its still worth watching. Don't miss this one!!!

You are so right ! I watched this movie in flight and was mesmerized.
We often look for happiness elsewhere or want to be happy after we have achieved certain things in life. And forget that we need to live in the present.

@ Vidya,

What really amazed me about is that fact that its the same case with almost everyone na. Everyone seems to be running behind this success stuff. I have asked myself this many times in life? I kinda seemed to have figured out...I wanna be a happy person in life... Everyting i feel, ultimately zeroes down to HappYness!! So just pursue ur share of happyness...
