Pursuit Of Happyness

Went out tonight and watched that movie at the theater tonight with Jason and Valery. To see how much the Will's main character has t suffer to achieve what he wants, is quite a tear-jerking experience. I know it is not even remotely close to what the character goes through in the movie, but I did find myself reflecting on when I was not working, and the guilt I felt every day seeing Chloe, knowing that I had no way to support her at that time. I also remember how it felt that after that first day of work, knowing when I cam home, that I was doing the right thing for Chloe. Just when you thought a movie couldn't have any more bottoms, they manage to pull together a scene such as the one when they put a roll of toilet paper down on the subway bathroom floor, so they can have a place to sleep. And he is sitting on the floor crying, while people are knocking at the door trying to get in, and he has no other place to go. Those are the kind of scenes will affect everyone, but you can't help but see your own kids in that movie, when you are a parent. It just affects you more. Yeah, I came out of that movie a sobbing fool....
