I like the scene in "Beautiful Loser" where the coach is talking about archery class. Hey, John. It's Paul Bass (coach). I am thrilled to find you here. I am your newest fan.

Glory was on yesterday, I caught the last half hour of it. It's a pretty moving scene at the end, when, after everything slavery had done to the troops, they still muster the courage to charge a fortified position under withering fire.

It certainly says something to me about being an American.

Well, I think Smith's work ethic is conservative. For example, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, a reporter asked Smith why few Black actors make money overseas. From the tone of the question, the reporter likely expected Smith (a known Democrat) to blame racism for this disparity.

Surprisingly, Smith replied that any actor no matter his race can succeed overseas, but it takes a WHOLE lot of time and marketing. Many actors with families find it difficult though not impossible to engage in such intense self-promotion outside America.

So, at least on economic issues, I think Smith is as conservative as Gardner whom who portrayed in "Happyness." However, unlike Gardner, I don't think Smith realizes how right-leaning he is.

I fondly remember the scene between Will Smith and his son where Smith, as Chris Gardner, tells his son, "Don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something. They don't know who you are." (Sorry if that"s not verbatim.) What made it stand out even more for me was the fact that , during the previous week in one of my advanced classes I spoke the exact quote. I literally started blubbering in that darkened theatre. To this day, and for the foreseeable future, I refer back to it and recommend the kids to get the DVD. For me, this is an example of how you grow and cultivate character,a strong work ethic and excellence in results, in short the American Dream.
