Brief Analysis...

 

 

The truth is that if there are films in which one can show, teach, transmit and experience what the Resilience, this is without doubt one of them.

The film leaves nothing to chance, from its setting, in the early '80s, in the convulsed United States, its scenery, its outtakes, for the recreation of the characters, their actions and above all their dialogues.

 

IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS is one of those movies that should be seen and analyzed several times, posts, signs, symbols and examples of life in adversity. Oscar nomination for his player is a reliable indicator of the value of its interpretation.

 

It is an extensive film, which results in its nearly two hours, a lesson of life, shows us how truly and "real", you can always aspire to do better.

It is a reflection of life itself, everything that can happen to each one of us and that is a hard, deep movie that makes us suffer and angry for all that you have to swallow the protagonist and his son; but behind that pain, the suffering of Chris Gardner, is the final proof that you can choose paths that although they are full of sufferings and struggles lead to a happy ending.

 

To analyze this stupendous work of filmmaking, allows us to discover that man can CHOOSE which have the FREEDOM to decide which path to take and gives us a beautiful lesson in how a man having yet hit "bottom" in your life, without a partner no job, no money, no visible opportunities and certain, it is able to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BE AWARE of WHAT HE cAN, (I CAN).

Also realizes that he had a number of elements that would allow moving forward, despite the adversities and countless pitfalls that life brought him, possessed, optimism, sense of humor, CHARISMA, IMAGINATION, opportunism, CREATIVITY, KINDNESS, WAS GRATEFUL summarizing could say: I HAVE. Your CAPACITY OF INSIGHT restores its self-image as a person able to get ahead, I AM.

The story of Chris Gardner teaches us that perseverance, believing in yourself, having a high self-esteem, "BELIEVE" in what one does and what one is able (Ability to project a future and seeing it finished) are essential parts and elements in the construction of a resilient person.
