the pursuit of happyness

this one holds a special place.
some parts of it just stuck
It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?
really...how did he think of that???
Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me.
You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
well couldn't agree more.

the movie is based on a real story, so naturally nothing hi fi. but i think its a must watch. it drives home a point, and some parts(like the two mentioned above) just get stuck in your head.
i really enjoyed watching this one. its one i can watch over and over.
a nice light well made movie.
