I had a very similar moment after I opened up business after 5 years going back to school doing my volunteer work doing my part time job and my full-time job while taking care of my disabled father. Just being able to open up shop and having the opportunity to finally sleep normal. And seeing business returns that you control and a reasonable work-life balance finally show up with a clean and safe apartment after moving out of a shithole with rats and cockroaches with a little savings to boot. It really does make you want to cry.

Every day, thousands of Americans go through that same range of emotions. Fear of being told no, the relief of hearing the good news, the elation that everything will work out now... Whether it's a new job, marrying the love of your life, welcoming a new child into the world, finding out you've done something others considered impossible.... it's a great feeling, and this mans story should be held up as an example: Yes, life is tough, it will beat you down at times, but if you can stick it out, push through the tough times... your perseverance will pay off.

Money can facilitate happiness, buy only to the extent that it enables you to enjoy your family. I had that for a wile. It’s gone now, along with my drive to the top.

This movie made me cry for the first time in years. That night he and his son spent the night in the bathroom... great movie by LEGEND Will Smith

"Hey, Listen. No matter what happens today, you did a fantastic job here....." I heard those words right before I was laid off. That's why this scene was so powerful. I thought he wasn't going to get the job and find some other way. But the movie threw us for a loop. Such a great scene!

When I first watched this, I cried like a baby in the theatre…being a hard and dangerous man I found it so lovely that a movie could make me convey such raw emotion. Years later, I’ve only become more dangerous and more good looking. I too was hired as a broker 4 years ago and have a net worth of 120 million dollars.

Notice how he wasn't a diversity hire. Notice how he wasn't hired because he was from a marginalized or oppressed community. He was hired because he busted his ass and strived to be the best. He showed his worth and didn't blame anyone for how fucked up his life was. He earned that position by putting in the work. He pulled himself up from the literal bottom. And if he can do it, so can you.

What I’d really like is the story of one of other applicants, the one whose father was forced into early retirement when his back gave out from years of manual labor and barely gets any pension; whose mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer but can’t afford any treatment, and now the parents are facing eviction; whose sister succumbed to a drug addiction; whose child is special needs; the applicant who desperately needs this job to try to save the family and after months of hard work does NOT get this job because capitalism forces the individual to be solely responsible for each of these situations, then forces the individual to compete with other desperate individuals to have even a chance at clawing a way out of the misery and destitution it forces upon society. Chris deserves the job. But we ALL deserve a dignified, materially secure existence. F*ck capitalism, and this and all the other movies for trying to trick us into thinking hard work is the only way we justify, we earn, material security.

I understand what you mean, but his life is similar to many people in this world who struggle severely. The real takeaway is that even when life beats you down, it's a person's will and perseverance that will make or break a person. In this case, it was his tenacity and perseverance that made him. And just think, there are people who have it far worse than he did in his lowest times. The film weighs heavily on the heart, that's for sure, so I get your point. But people live this every day.
