I have learned that you can´t give up, no matter
how hard the time is, your hopeful can help you to
get out of a bad moment, the oportunitie to
improve your reality is out there, you have to go for
it and live your dreams.
The film made me feel sad sometimes, but always
hopeful and expectant.
I study psychology, and the movie shows very well
how a good advice could change your way of think
and the way you live your life.
Chris gave up and decided look for linda to take his
son with her and try to find other work, maybe as a
supermarket manager or a cleaner.
