This film was the most emotionally draining and inspiring film I have seen for a long time. Just when you thought things could not get worse, it does and Chris Gardner and his son end up homeless. How he managed to feed his son, keep clean, find a roof for the night and at the same time, keep up with his internship is beyond me.
I have just ordered his biography from Amazon. I watched the interview with him which was one of the features on the DVD and I was in awe of him. What really stood out for me is when he said that people tend to focus on the rag to riches aspect of his story but what is the most important thing that he wants people to remember is that he was there for his son, even though he had to work and leave him in daycare. What a truly amazing and humble man.
