Nietzsche’s Rundown of Pursuit of Happyness
    This movie is a truly beautiful thing. It chronicles the struggles of Chris Gardner as he attempts to better himself and thereby better the world around him. Nothing in his life is beautiful; he’s unemployed, broke, homeless, and trying to raise a son as normally as possible under those circumstances. He is fighting to avoid the ugliness that would come out of degeneration in his life and relationships. Unfortunately, he is hard pressed to stem the tide of degeneration, let alone improve the beauty of the world around him. I like to think that he does eventually achieve this goal, although the closing scene of the movie leaves me with doubts about this.
