Great movie. But contextually, it was about his son playing basketball. Very appropriate for that moment and dream...

My concern is those less stable in society using this quote out of context and, I dunno, trying to attack congress or overthrow a lawful election? Maybe slap an emcee?

In other words, it really depends on the "dream" you are trying to protect.

Again, great inspirational movie, but context is important.

Why people always trying to prove these quotes wrong? The conversation may be with his son but his words can be applied to his everyday life and that is what the film intended

Yes! I wish my younger self would have ignored all of the people who told me I'd be nothing or that I wasn't capable of getting my dreams. After I became a parent I had the aha! Moment and asked myself "Wtf are you doing?! Your kid is worth is worth his dreams so why aren't you?"

This is a great movie. I was so touched by the care he took of his son and the way he never gave up.

The true-life son of the story said that he didn't remember being poor, he remembers being with his dad.

The only thing this motivates me to do is to remind myself that I’m no longer a Will Smith fan. I want to poster of Chris rock slapping him back.
