THE MOVIE "THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS'
Based on a true story about a man named
Christopher Gardner.
Gardner has invested heavily in a device known as a "
Bone Density scanner". He feels like he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. On top of that, one of these does not work. As Gardner tries to figure out on how to fix the faulty one and sell the others, his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards.
Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner is now desperate to find a steady job; he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training, and to sell his devices. Written by
John Wiggins
In
1981, in
San Francisco, the smart salesman and family man
Chris Gardner invested the family savings in Ostelo
National bone-density scanners, an apparatus twice more expensive than x-ray with practically the same resolution. The white elephant financially breaks the family, bringing troubles to the relationship with his wife that leaves him and moves to
New York.
Without money and wife, but totally committed with his son
Christopher,
Chris sees the chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at
Dean Witter, disputing for one career in the end of six months training period without any salary with other twenty candidates.
Meanwhile, homeless, he has all sorts of difficulties with his son. Written by Claudio
