🔡Describe your favourite movie

You should say:

What it was
When you saw it
What it was about
And explain why it made you think a lot

To be honest, I only watch movies once in a blue moon since I don’t have a lot of free time. However, there’s one movie that really moved me and which I consider my greatest inspiration when I feel like giving up. That’s the 2006 movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. Last year when a friend of mine insisted on me watching it. The movie was starred by a high-caliber, actor Will Smith, together with his real-life son, Jaden Smith who acted as his young son in the movie and who was only eight years old then. Well, it’s still vivid in my memory. Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith, became a single father after his wife left him because of financial instability. He was evicted from his apartment with his son for failing to pay the rent, and because of that, they ended up sleeping in a restroom at a station and in homeless shelters. Life’s a struggle for Chris but he refused to give in to despair and did his very best to create a better life for himself and his son. Because of his persistence, he’s able to get a job as a stockbroker and eventually became the owner of a multi-million dollar brokerage firm. The story was really inspirational, I remember after watching that movie, I thought about
my life – I thought about the personal struggles that I’d gone through and told myself that everything would be alright. Since then, that movie became my reminder to not lose hope. If my friend hadn’t recommended that film and if I hadn’t spared time watching it and learned
the valuable life lessons, I would have given up long before.
