2.The PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
 I Liked this film because a lot of things can be learned from this film.

The film's story begins in 1981 in San Francisco, California. Linda and Chris Gardner lived in a small apartment with their children as young as 5 years old, Christopher. Chris is a salesman who spend all the family savings to buy a franchise to sell scanners bone (Bone Density Scanner) portable. This scanner is able to produce better images than X-rays, but most doctors who met Chris thought that the price is too expensive. Linda, his wife, works as a laborer in a laundry. This small family began to break when they realize that they can not pay the rent and bills were accumulating. Circumstances worsened by Chris habits are parked haphazardly. Because it can not afford a ticket, Chris cars finally seized. The climax, Linda left Chris and went to New York City. Initially, he wanted to take, and Christopher, but failed at the request of Chris.

In desperation, Chris accidentally meet someone who brings Ferrari red. Chris asked the man, what kind of work he did to afford a luxury car? The man replied that he was a stockbroker. Since then Chris decided to make a career as a broker saham.ab4379

Chris received an offer unpaid internship at a brokerage firm Dean Witter Reynolds, promising the best jobs for apprentices. During the unpaid internship, Chris began to run out of money. Finally, he was expelled from the rental home and become homeless. For several days he slept in public places, but then he decided to sleep in a halfway house Glide Memorial Chruch. Due to limited space, they have to queue up to get a room. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes fail and forced to sleep outside. Poverty and all homeless-an increasingly pushing Chris determination to perform tasks diligently and get a job at Dean Witter Reynolds.

At the end of the story, Chris managed to become the best participant and accepted to work there. A few years later, he founded his own brokerage firm, Gardner Rich. In 2006, he sold a small portion of its shares and managed to get millions of dollars from the sale.
