My Problem with 'The Pursuit of Happiness' | DTube Movie Review

in #movies7 years ago


This is not one of my normal formal movie reviews. Instead I just want to go into detail about what I don’t like about the movie ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’, because I think it is an important topic worth discussing. If you have seen the movie then let me know what you think in the comments.

I don’t think it is necessarily a bad movie. The directing is good and so are the performances.
My problem lies with what the movie is fundamentally about. They treat the pursuit for happiness the same as the pursuit for money, when that is just not the reality.
I mean…how many rich celebrities blow their brains out every year? If money equals happiness then these people should be ecstatic. I also know poor people who are happy. That is why I just can’t get behind loving this moving.
