Pursuit Of Happiness: Will Smith

I think that Will Smith was really mean and cruel to his son because he crushed his dreams of being a professional basketball player. I am a basketball player so I understand what it's like for someone to tell me that I am not good or I'm a "fail." In my opinion, I think Will was either jealous or just didn't want his son to get far in life as a basketball player. However, towards the end of the movie, Will knew he was wrong and returned to his furious and dejected son. Will then stated a very important and probably life changing statement; "Never let anyone put you down..."
This can help me in school by teaching me that whatever I do is great and awesome and that I shouldn't care about negative criticism. Will's son later accepted his father even though Will was wrong. I think that this clip can really help me get over all the negatives in life and allow me to be myself without having to change just because my work isn't good or someone doesn't like it. This clip started very roughly with a sad and depressed son but later got better when his dad apologized and taught him a life-lesson.
