The Pursuit of Happyness
17/01/2007
Last night was yet another visit to the cinema. This was a film that Lesley and I were looking forward to, we were not disappointed, it was brilliant. Will Smith, always an excelent actor, was outstanding. The surprise was his son, Jayden Smith who also played his son in the movie. Often child actors are unconvincing but this kid has to be a star in the making.
The plot is a simple one. For Will Smith's character, life seems to be a series of disasters. His job is sellin machins no one wants, his wife leaves him and he has no money to pay any of his bills. Seeing a chance to change his circumstances, he accepts the job as an unpaid intern in the feint hope of landing a job as a stockbroker. The pain served up in this movie is almost unrelenting! All that to say, go see it.
What happiness are you pursuing? Truth to tell the only eternal source of happiness is found in Jesus.
The next movie? Ben and I are going to see Rocky Balboa!
My friend Njoke and I both loved the movie. We actually just had an "online dialogue" about it here:

We'd love it if you could add your 2 cents (tuppence?) on the discussion.
Thanks!
