35. From Real to Reel
Many a times in life we come across people who stand up against all odds & achieve things which inspire a generation ,these things they achieve come from extreme suffering ,hardship,insults & distress.
Not everyone have the will to overcome all these but there will be some who breakdown at times yet come out successful.
The chronicles of these REAL people to REEL cinema will serve as an inspiration when we recount their struggles in life that make them such great personalities.
PLOT : " The true inspirational story of entrepreneur Chris Gardner. "
There are only a few films that had such a touching tale ,"The Pursuit of Happyness" is one such film.The subtle story telling of this film is so much responsible for the movie's success.
Even though being a emotional drama ,there are few scenes in which you find the lead actors crying it out or having facing melodramatic moments ,this is where the movie stands out.
Gabriele Muccino ,has directed to inspire.His style of expressing has brought out some of the best acting moments in film ,while seeing the film you could never deny the fact that the director along with the scriptwriter are the true captains of the movie.
Without a good combination of director & scriptwriter we cannot be treated to watching good cinema ,this film serves as a testimony for it.
Will Smith as Chris Gardner has lived the role ,he gets into the skin of the character he's playing ,all his films illustrate that fact.I could not think of any other person enacting this role after watching his perfomance.
Its too bad that a lot of good films came up in that year which eventually earned him just the Academy award nomination for Best Actor ,hope he gets that award soon.
Will Smith's son Jaden Smith as Chris Gardner's son in the film was another feather in the cap ,he has justified his role with some superb performances.His dad can be damn proud of him.
Adults especially parents whilst watching this movie can feel a sense of Deja vu ,they could easily relate their struggles with certain scenes in the film.
Dialogues also are a perfect sync ,the way Will Smith answers his son's queries are so good that you cannot deny the facts in them.His attempts at marketing in his office are also an honest portrayl of a sales person's life.
An autobigraphical work to a film is no easy work ,certain films while doing this transition loose track but this film captures the true spirit of Chris Gardner's hardships with realistic moments.
For inspiration in our life ,we look up to certain people.Here is a one such person's life justifiably made from REAL life TO REEL cinema.
- Director : Gabriele Muccino
- Writer : Steve Conard based on Chris Gardner's memoirs written by himself & Quincey Troupe.
- Cast : Will Smith , Jaden Smith , Thandie Newton
- Rating : "PG" for some smoking scenes & harsh languauge.
