Pursuit of Happyness
There's something about this movie that keeps it from connecting the way I wanted it to. Perhaps it was the omniscient narration and splitting sections of the film into chapters - it kept me from really connecting and empathizing with Will Smith's character. About the only scene in the film that gave me that emotional connectivity was in the subway bathroom, and that's 2/3 of the way through the film. As good as Will Smith is in playing to an audience normally, this one just misses the mark, and one can;t help but ask why?Labels: My Cinematic 2 Cents
