The best father is the one who manages to sustain his family through all the difficulties and makes an effort to fulfill all his responsibilities towards them. He doesn't have to be perfect, just a good role model is enough for me because I know that many people look up to their family, especially their father.
I love my father and I thank God that he is still with us despite his advanced age. Over time I have become a father myself and I am aware of the heavy responsibilities of fatherhood. Being a father is one of the best feelings in the world, but according to my father, having grandchildren is one of the best feelings in the world. I don't object because I don't have grandchildren yet! lol.
This week's theme of the weekly contest organized by @cinetv is '' Favorite Movie With a Prominent Father.''

Cine TV Contest #33 - Favorite Movie With a Prominent Father
In the meantime, I wish all fathers a long and happy life with their loved ones.
All fathers who do not hesitate for a moment to fulfill their responsibilities are the best fathers. For example, for me my father is the best person in the world, for you your father is the best. Everyone will be selfish to point to their own father as an example, and in my opinion, they are absolutely right.
So I thought that the movie I choose for the "Favorite Movie With a Prominent Father." contest should reflect reality rather than pretending and I came to a great conclusion.
The Pursuit of Happyness, a 2007 movie based on a real life event, was the right choice.

Chris' son Christopher was played by Jaden Christopher Syre Smith. In other words, Will Smith starred in the same movie with his son Jaden.
There is no better reason to watch The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith doesn't need to act throughout the movie. When you watch the movie, you can understand that what happens between him and his son is improvised.
The reason why I initially gave my own description of what a good father figure should look like is that while watching the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, I realized that Chris Gardner more than meets all the criteria.

The movie reflects all these events to the audience very well through Chris. Unable to make ends meet due to work problems, Chris is first abandoned by his wife, but despite all the negativity he experiences, he does not leave his son. Life can sometimes be unbearable when you add the mishaps in the ordinary flow of life.
I was unemployed during the pandemic and continued to be unemployed for a year and a half due to the negative process. My father, my mother and my siblings were my biggest supporters during this bad time that I don't want to remember. Fortunately, I overcame the difficult days and I have a job and I am able to fulfill my daughter's rightful demands.
Watching the movie, I am one of the people who can best understand Chris's problem, every time his unemployment and uselessness hit him in the face, we were in tears at the same time. A father should never be tested and humiliated in the eyes of his children.

Life does not offer equal opportunities to everyone, but all fathers who know their responsibilities try to make life a better place for their children. This effort alone deserves enough respect. Time changes our roles in life, for years my father took care of us and now we take care of our father. I was once a child myself and now I am a father with a child. The only thing that has not changed is our happiness.
If you want to watch a man's struggle for his family and then for his son, The Pursuit of Happyness is the movie for you. You should definitely watch it.
