The Pursuit Of Happyness!

This was a beautiful movie! It is about a guy called Chris Gardner, who later became a big time stock broker. Now, this movie`s got Will Smith. I`ve been a big fan of his, especially after watching Fresh Prince of Belair. The guy was hilarious in that show, and he does a contrasting role in this movie. He has played the role beautifully. The movie was beautifully taken and Will Smith`s narration was tremendous. Especially when he says, "This is the part of my life, I call happiness", a tear literally runs through your cheeks. My kind of movie, and has all the ingredients for the oscars.

The other movie which i saw was, The Departed. The movie was good, Awesome show by Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Di Caprio and Matt Damon. Nicely taken, Good screenplay! But it reminded me of the tamil movie Kuruthipunal! It must be ecstatic of me to compare a tamil movie with an oscar nominated movie. The 2 movies have nothing much in common. But, the story is somewhat similar. The police puts a rat in the bad guy`s empire and the bad guys a rat in the police empire. Thats what both the movie has. But, what happens in the 2 movies is totally a different story! They have nothing in common. Nice watchable movie, departed, stylish, but lacks a little bit of oscar substance.
