Although I know a lot of men who would have done what Chris Gardner did it does make for a good discussion about stereotypes, gender issues, and gender being specific to men. I do remember looking at the movie and thinking of his wife as a villain, because she did not stick by him and left him with a child to raise alone. A friend and I wanted to see the movie because it was a true story of a man that went from being homeless to having a good job with Dean Witter and then writing a book about his struggle. When I saw it for the first time I didn’t think of the questions that would be asked of me in my gender class. I first saw the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, with a friend at the movies.
