I would like to talk about the film called The Pursuit of Happiness and the family structure in it. The Pursuit of Happiness was directed by Gabriele Muccino and it’s based on Chris Gardner’s biograpy. First of all, i want to give information about the family. In the film, there is a divorced couple and their cause of divorcing is destitution . The mother character is really disregardful but her attitudes are came from the fact that she is poor , she needs to work much hours and also she needs to catch up life in these confusion and difficulties. She left her husband because she loses her belief in her husband. Espicially after he loses the job that she wants, actually he takes the job he always dreamed about at the end of the movie, quarrels among them arises. Besides she does not respect the job her husband wants. However, the father has the same lack of sufficient qualifications but he specify his son the priority of his life. He makes lots of sacrifices for his son and also told him something like “Follow your dreams, do not allow anyone to tell you what to do even if he is your father.” With these sencentes we can understand how much he care and support his son.
