The TVI Take
Gabriele Muccino's 2006 Chris Gardner biopic anchored by Will Smith (Oscar-nominated) and his real son Jaden as the homeless father-and-son rendering of the actual stockbroker's true story. The structural commitment to letting working-poor-Black-fatherhood specificity (the homeless shelters, the Salvation Army queues, the Dean Witter internship competition) be the actual subject — at register Hollywood drama rarely supports — is the film's distinctive achievement.
