The Pursuit of Happyness

I have not gone to any cinema for a long time as now I prefer to watch movie at home (on DVD), alone with my wife (which is btw folks, one of the effect of getting married, you always prefer to go home than to go anywhere else). So now when I want to talk about movies, please understand that it will not be a recent movie, as I need to wait until the movies are released on DVD.

Last night I watched The Pursuit of Happyness, which is the story of Chris Gardner was succesfully being poor throughout the whole movie. It's the story of a poor man's struggle to reach success, although the movie only shows how terrible and unlucky being poor is, and there is no one scene showing the main character has money.
Although Will Smith gives a great performance, the whole movie is really depressing for me, although at the end the main character was told to reach a very succesful life.
So the main point of this movie is that no matter how poor or rich you are, no matter whether you are black or white, no matter how high your education is, you can look really ridiculous wearing an afro hairdo.
