Eight Best Will Smith Movies To Rewatch This Weekend
Brilliant Hollywood actor and film producer, Will Smith was born as the second child of four in the family of a worker from a refrigerator company and a school teacher.
Since childhood, Will studied well, easily made new acquaintances, and even received a scholarship to the University of Massachusetts, but refused it in favor of a career in show business. He was also engaged in making modern music since childhood. Together with his best friend Jeff Towson, they created a band that was gaining popularity at an incredible rate.
Over time, realizing that show business is not always simple and easy, Will switched to professional Hollywood circles, where thanks to his “hung” language and, of course, innate talent, began to get more and more new and interesting roles. Today, Will Smith is one of the most famous and popular actors in Hollywood. According to the authoritative magazine “Forbes,” this man in 2008 became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. For all those who are not yet familiar with the work of such a unique and talented actor and rather prefer gambling at Zambia bet or playing video games, we have listed the top 8 best Will Smith movies, so that you can enjoy his unique talent and get a lot of positive emotions from watching.
“Bad Boys” (1995)
Comedy action movie, which, in its time, was quite popular and favorite with the audience, tells a fascinating story about a young and incredibly rich detective sergeant Michael Eugene “Mike” Lowrey. This representative of the “golden youth”, despite his huge opportunities and means, works as a simple cop and investigates crimes in the drug trade.
“Independence Day” (1996)
Even though in this film the actor did not the main role, his appearance here left a deep and memorable trace in the mind of the viewer because this young and witty guy is not yet much “tasted” and recognized around the world. But after this movie everything changed: Will portrayed a simple, but very brave, charismatic, and fearless pilot, who with other heroic heroes, once again saved our planet from alien invaders.
“Men in Black” (1997)
The funny and already cult story that turned into a trilogy is now hugely popular in the US and far beyond. A sci-fi comedy about unflappable special agents who remain the best and only defense of planet Earth from the threatening activities of aliens. Their activities are secret, and the main characters must remain cool and unperturbed throughout the movie, for they are the best and most powerful, but the talented play of Smith still dilutes their images with light comic notes. In 2007 and 2013, the remaining two parts of the trilogy were released, which boast no less popularity and love of the viewer.
“The Legend of Bagger Vance” (2000)
This is a good, kind, even slightly mystical movie, set in the times of the Great Depression. Will Smith plays the role of a mysterious stranger Bagger Vance, who helps a drunken golfer, played by Matt Damon, to cope with his “demons”. The movie is not about golf or sports at all but about human feelings and an unknown force that sometimes helps to cope with oneself and circumstances that have greatly affected the course of life.
“I, Robot” (2004)
Another American blockbuster, which tells about life on the planet in the not-too-distant future, is 2035. The main character Smith, a detective of the future, investigates a murder, which, according to all the evidence, was completely freaked out by artificial intelligence. By then, robots become indispensable assistants of mankind, but at the same time, turn into a real threat that can lead to disaster. How will Will Smith, the audience’s favorite, cope with this?
“The Pursuit of Happiness” (2006)
The movie, which was filmed on real events, tells about the life of a man who managed to rise from a homeless single father to a millionaire in a brokerage company. The movie-drama does not contain a sea of special effects, blood, or magic graphics, everything here is based on the talented play of the main characters, as well as on simple human feelings and qualities that are admired in our time: inexhaustible faith, kindness and the desire to live for the sake of someone who is close to you and depends on you.
The role of the son of the main character was masterfully performed by the real offspring of Will Smith, many movie critics say that the special action on the screen actors managed to create just because of the family ties. There is nothing more to tell here, just this movie should be seen by everyone, because it teaches a lot of things, first of all, to become better than we are.
“I Am Legend” (2007)
The screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by a famous American writer, in which the main character, Will Smith, plays the only person with a unique immunity who survived the zombie apocalypse. The movie describes all the feelings and emotions of a man who gradually goes mad from loneliness, but at the same time is constantly fighting for his existence: at night he restrains the attacks of zombies, and during the day he searches for answers to his questions.
“Seven Pounds” (2008)
Another drama with Will Smith, which has received a lot of positive reviews from film critics and ordinary viewers, is a movie for those who love and understand what drama is. But here is a pleasant bonus – the plot of the movie is non-linear, as it happens in most movies of this genre, the first 40 minutes you don’t understand at all what it is about, and only in the middle do all the questions begin to find their right answers.
According to the plot, the main character, Tim Thomas, gets into a car accident, as a result of which, through his fault, 7 people die. To redeem himself, Tim goes on a long journey, at the end of which he meets and, ironically, falls in love with a terminally ill girl. Will he be able to figure out what to do this time?
