This is the 4th movie I watched during the week.. after Namesake, Pulp Fiction, As good as it gets. Another brilliant movie, which is worth a watch! One of the most powerful dialogues in this movie, which Will Smith (Chris Gardner) says to his son...
"You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period. Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me."
A very simple movie, made without any heavy starcast and is based on a true story of Chris Gardner (who started the Gardner Rich firm). I just couldnt take my eyes off the screen for even a second, thats the kind of impact the movie had. There are so many realities that are depicted in the movie, that you start wondering how would it be to really go through those tough situations that Chris is shown to be in. There is a scene in the movie where Chris (Will smith) loses his home and all his money in the bank a/c coz he hadn't payed his taxes for a long time and he is driven to the road, without a shelter and a 5 year old kid. He sleeps with his son in a restroom in the metro station. It was so tough for me to even imagine how it is to actually be in that situation!! Will Smith, no doubt, has delivered a splendid performance and I would rate the movie with 5 stars! If you haven't watched this movie... then you are really missing out something good...

Perhaps the best of 2007 for me. The fact that its based on a true story makes it even more inspirational.
As someone told me yesterday, when u choose a true story as a theme for the movie, its like half the battle won.. coz true stories are always inspirational and no doubt it will be good! But the best part in this movie is that its not just the story thats good but a lot of other factors, including the performance by Will Smith that really makes it awesome on the whole
the scene whr he shakes hands with the firm's bosses.. tht one is so natural! jus cudnt hold back those tears. truly amazing.
waever..Pulp Fiction rocks among all the movies mentioned..its an all time @#&%ing classic movie..!! also as gud as it gets..Mr jack at his best!
