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.

That little moment in life, happiness, just little moments of joy ……I don’t get a lot but I remember each time I ever felt like this 😓

[@nike80nl]

His humbleness is sublime. More people should look at Life the way Chris does ❤️

[@Rezzworks]

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.

[@jaxcoss5790]

Noticeable this doesn't happy for the majority of people. Noticeable you assume all employees are fair. 🙄🙄🙄

[@shmeautiful]

I be putting peanit butter up my butt...

[@andrewclarke8727]

Lol, explain why people are marginalised and by who I wonder

[@Rezzworks]

@@andrewclarke8727 How many times did Will Smith’s character complain about the “white man”? When he was sleeping in the bathroom, was he blaming anyone? It doesn’t matter where you’re from or your background. Once you drop the victim mentality, you will be victorious.

[@chessenthusiast]

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.

[@LachoDroogie]

Communism and socialism would make everyone equally miserable. Capitalism makes everyone unequally happy.

[@threth5176]

This "im a victim of society" mentality , "blaming the system" mentality , is getting really old and tiresome. we get it, you want others to work hard so you dont have to. gtfoh with this nonsense you clearly know absolutely nothing about. and go be a victim and throw a pity party somewhere else.

[@doofsdoofs]

The issue isn't capitalism nor communism. Both inhumane practices. The issue is modernity creating an existence vastly more artificial to the human condition than anything else.

[@chessenthusiast]

@@doofsdoofs disagree. Capitalism is inhumane, communism is the only way to secure rights and the wellbeing of everyone.

[@chessenthusiast]

@@threth5176 no, I want the people who actually work hard - the workers - to reap more of what the make, so they aren’t left to die when there’s no more value to be extracted from them, instead of shareholders and owners earning millions on their backs. Gtfoh with this “communism is when others work for you.” That is literally how capitalism works for capitalists.

[@vishaladarsharadhya6872]

I come here whenever I feel down and like giving up. Gives me that energy to push through and go after my dreams. Gives me goosebumps everytime ❤🌟

[@Nothereman9999]

It wasn't the movie he won the Oscar for but to me, this is Will Smith's finest hour. His best performance and his best movie.

[@BatPierrot]

Emotional movie but hell what a rotten message. Work your ass off and maybe, just maybe, you'll be the one chosen to get the fruits of your labor. Fuck this.

[@sugandhakohli]

It's the reality baby!

[@workingTchr]

Well said.

[@EBR1]

That message is factual though. It states a fact of life. We don't have to like life's unfortunate realities, but we do need to accept them and learn to work with them or through them, not against them.

[@workingTchr]

​@@EBR1 Sounds pretty defeatist. Just give up and do what they tell you.

[@MightyKondrai]

its a real story. go out and do something with your life instead of complaining about it.

[@luciferscatmilk]

So condescending

[@fashoneblair9487]

I watched this movie on Christmas day at the movies by myself and cried so much. Teared up just watching this scene here.

[@rickanduiza186]

Seeing a grown man tearing up because he finally caught a major break in his life after all his hard work hits home man

[@AxeKick80]

I can’t wrap my head around this movie. The pursuit of happiness being the pursuit of a JOB. F*ck that sh*t. 🙄

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Get a job!!

[@philiptilton9651]

What an idiot! He wasn't pursuing a job tending the counter at a gas station. Gardner was uneducated, with no skills to speak of, looking for a ticket out of poverty and this was his only chance - a very small chance.

[@zodiba3968]

More than that sir.

[@ronaldoucl]

😂😂😂😂

[@vectorm4]

I did not like this movie; 2 hours of Chris being beaten down and losing. This ending scene was wonderful, but for me did not make up for all of the misfortune.

[@zuuzuuka]

Its a real story. Real life Chris Gardener really went through hell and seemingly endless failure to find success.

[@jejedesalpes7886]

We don"t care that you don't like. WE did, it's all that matters.

[@vectorm4]

@@jejedesalpes7886 Don't take it personally.

[@christinedaley291]

But in all honesty, is this the reality for alot of persons. Life is not easy!

[@Mmmkay10]

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.
