But we don’t want to spoil the whole movie! You can rent the Pursuit of Happyness now on Prime Video.Will Smith’s name has been in the news for other reasons lately, but long before “The Slap,” he took a turn in one of the most popular sales movies of the last 20 years, The Pursuit of Happyness (yes, the misspelling is intentional). Gardner is arrested the night before for failing to pay his parking tickets while painting his apartment and is forced to appear at the interview in shabby clothes - but lands the internship anyway. After impressing Twistle with his ability to solve a Rubik’s cube within minutes, he lands an interview for an unpaid internship at the brokerage firm. Gardners’ life changes when he meets Jay Twistle (played by Brian Howe), who is an executive at Dean Witter Reynolds.
(Although Jaden Smith is a five-year-old in the movie, in reality, Gardner’s son was only a toddler during this time in his life). When his girlfriend Linda (played by Thandie Newton) walks out, he is left to struggle to create a better life for him and his young son on his own. In the movie version, Gardner is a salesman who invests his entire life savings in bone density scanners (which he believes are a useful alternative to X-rays). The movie plot the true story of Chris Gardner - with slight differences. From Columbia Pictures, The Pursuit of Happyness movie was directed by Gabriele Muccino, and stars Will Smith as Gardner and Jaden Christopher Syre Smith as Gardner’s son Chris. His book inspired the movie by the same name. The book is taken from a phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence, which recognizes Americans’ right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Gardner published his first book, “ The Pursuit of Happyness” in 2006, telling the true story of his rise from one of San Francisco’s invisible to being a successful player in its financial district.
