A small talk between a man and a boy, a father and a son...
Chris (father): Don't ever to let someone tell you, 'you can't do something'.. Not even me, alright?
Christopher (son): Alright.
Chris: You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. You want something, go and get it. Prove it.
A touching and yet motivating movie. To tell us about a true story of a father who tries his best to overcome the worst of his life and yet to give the best to his son.
" It was right then I started to thinking about Thomas Jefferson with Declaration of Independence. In the part of our right to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I remembered, I'd been thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there. And may be happiness is something that we only can pursue and may be we can actually never have it, no matter what. How did he know? ".
This is what in Chris's mind when his wife left him, brought along his son. Nothing was left to him besides the unpaid taxes, house rents and bills...
Yes, happiness is to be pursued.
There is no way to happiness as happiness is the way.
Happiness is never a DESTINATION but a JOURNEY.
And Chris has proved it!
Thanks to Chris who teaches me the meaning of life and the worth of living. ~Joel

Cant remember much about this movie but it can really trigger your lacrimal glands. All I could recall was: He got dumped because he was getting broke (which isn't very nice) and he even had to sleep outside restroom. -_-`
I just bet you no one these days would want to pursuit happYness the way Chris did. But it proves its point altogether; in a way that at the end of the day, HappYness is a process, ain't a point.
Life is short, go grab it! :)
Cheers.
Rocks one more time :P
