The Pursuit of Happyness: Basketball Scene

[lalo151092]

every time I feel like changing my major I watch this movie and it motivates me to follow my dream of becoming a civil engineer, and no matter what I will accomplish my dream!!

[MaXsWag98]

i cried because this video relates to me.. kids in my school say im the worst on the team and say i wont make the freshmen bball team

[LLschoolJ2]

i wish i could see that one scene where the kid drops his action figure idk what but i remember crying balls over that years ago

[STYLERFELLA]

every time I watch this scene when I play this movie for the "xx"th time or just watch this video on youtube - I always wanna cry so badly... and I'm 20 y/o guy. this is something beyond me, it tears me apart from the inside. this is the true power of words

[Inspiration525]

Aewsome...

[Stormjagger]

cried

[RamboRuthless]

I watched this movie and everyone broke into tears

[ryebread105]

After seeing this movie (especially this scene), I finally stopped doubting myself and went to medical school. Best decision I've ever made.

[BellaDominicanita26]

[myassin2009]

People can do something themselves and they tell you they cant do it. So true.

[TheShifter1001]

will smith deserves an oscar period

[Incognito79x]

Its funny. Before I watched this movie, 300 was my fav. Now, I love this movie more than anything, especially this scene.

[justinbieber17678]

he is so cute:)

[jose2090]

A father talking to his son...Will Smith is an amazing guy :)

[codytessmer]

my goal is to watch this scene once a day

[my89tube]

This scene is so fuckin powerful. And its true too!

[KSardor1]

The most important quote from the movie. Period.

[spiritcrazy5000]

how the hell could anyone dislike this?????

[MrChaful]

@spiritcrazy5000 agreed. it isnt healthy if anyone dosnt like it...

[pepehorhae]

@spiritcrazy5000 maybe the 1 disliker let the other person tell him/her that he/she couldn't do anything?

[spiritcrazy5000]

@pepehorhae that's quite likely, i think.

[BellaDominicanita26]

@spiritcrazy5000 Maybe someone who got to the end of their life and regretted not having lived it. It's the only thing I can think of. :-(

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

This is one of the only movies that have a large impact on me.

[LaughLoveBelieb]

aahh! Jaden is adorable. Those words are priceless.

[manvir255]

Brilliant.

[christinasofficial]

i haven't seen this in so long but for some reason i know every word to that quote, i love this part

[mirelabeg]

The scene!

[ownage369]

I think...I'm gonna cry.

[matthewmckirdy]

Great movie! i made a music video too this song. check it out! :)

[Falahim]

Why would anyone ever dislike this?

[rados3]

The best scene in the movie!

[TheLeilisa]

Who is the tallest basketball player?

[helpogrowth]

I have free grow taller secrets....

Watch my videos.

[JordanDisciple45]

This puts tears in my eyes, literally.

[romanpoet22004]

@JordanDisciple45 just did right now...

[jetliigor]

this is one of the greatest based on true stories film i've ever seen. So inspirational.

[weeeeed808]

i'm trying to find this basketball court, there's no information on it and i live in San Francisco, beautiful scene as well. I want to just play some basketball there and feel the emotion inside the cage. I'm struggling in finding my purpose and pursuit in life and i believe finding this court will give me some insight. I mean this video alone has given me hope in life at times and i feel this court has a very special power. It resembles more than a basketball court.

[weeeeed808]

Actually, i went to look for this place in San Francisco ChinaTown, and it was a beautiful day. I can't believe i found it, it makes this scene so much more special. Although i had to maneuver my way around the gates, this place was locked on a Saturday afternoon! But nice and quiet place in Chinatown. Great view while making three pointers from the top of the key. I am so blessed.

[TheLeilisa]

Get taller ! here is the solution " helpo growth formula"

google it.

[MyNetworkDirect]

Great Movie... Great scene!

[my89tube]

I love this movie and this scene is my favorite. It's so powerful to me because I remember my dad telling me the same kind of things as a kid.

[zulu45]

How this movie didn't win an Oscar is freaking beyond me!

[hhhbiggestfan305]

This movie always gets to me. My motivation right here.

[omar0000000000]

Always Remember that line..whenever anything bad or depressing happens in your life..say it over and over again to yourself..

This movie should've literally got an Oscar.

[Mslittlejoeyy]

I knew this was going to be the highlight of this movie, it touched me tremendously in every aspect.

[eliee102]

My favorite scene in the whole movie.

Simply amazing

[muthuraam1]

jaden smith is so cute and his acting performance is so well...mmm..............will smith also rockz in this movie..........i'm became a fan of both jaden smith and will smith.........

[mzcutie5569]

HE WAS SO ADORABLE

[mjnab115]

i loved this movie

[SniperxHiro]

his wife is such a bitch

[msGameluva]

I like how he looks wen he pick the bag up and but the ball in

[BabyG684]

I luv dis movie but it kinda depressin

[WhatTheHeechul]

Oh gosh, I remember watching this part.

I couldn't help but cry

[TheOriginalJondo]

my dad tells me tht im never gunna be good at bball and exactly wat he told his son but im still trying and alot of ppl say im one of the best players theyve seen

[ap1la]

UR DAD IS A BITCH.

[dizzi2004]

Amazing, inspiritational, so true; love it brings a tear to the eye, then again that's this film all over. Wish I could be as a good a dad as he was (Ya it's a true story), stick through thick and thin, Will Smith is the best actor ever, and he plays it so well fully shows his immense determination and love for his child, so glad it was him playing the part.

[blueleaf1717]

before i watched this scene i never thought that you can decide for urself what you can acheive noone else can and thats so goddamn true this movie is beautiful!

[ChildrenofBodom49]

absolutely inspirational..

[oihana77]

I'm sorry I'm not english and I don't get the last word. After he says 'If you want something, go get it', what does he say? Thx

[madaboutplanes]

He says...

"..If you want something, go get it...Period!"

Inspirational scene

[xxDarkestCloudxx]

Periods are the dots at the end of a sentence. Period is how you say it in English. So when he says. "If you want something, go get it...Period!" So when he says period, he means. No excuses for failure.

[martymccloud]

No.

What he means is that failure is not an excuse for giving up.

[xxDarkestCloudxx]

Three words. Dick move, period.

[kindalife32]

please who sing the song if i like you if i just like you? can some body tell me the name of the musician?

[dudupoopo]

[vee111992]

it means you have to work hard to get what you want to get. never give up and always try your hardest and you will get what you want in life

[dudupoopo]

period

[kindalife32]

please who sing the song if i like you if i just like you? can some body tell me the name of the musician?

[casplash4]

that kid is cute, man, and its his real son. Will smith can act so well, like comedy or inspirational and this right here is just inspirational. i watch this before every basketball game. who agree?

[Matticus343]

Amazing actor. Incredible movie.

[mcrrocks401]

[buttlikewat]

Since i left the comment i did see this movie.

Oh My is was great just like everybody said.

 I knew that was his son in the movie already. I wish i didn't wait so long to see it.

Thanks so much!

[djrjofficial]

yep ur def right, brilliant movie, and especially in this scene, its very believable because will smith and his son have great chemistry and it really gives it that sense of real life and that real meaning of working hard to get where you want, no matter what.

[Youuk11111]

"You want something, go get it. Period."

Awesome line.

[cellardoor199991]
