Family-obsessed actor Will Smith with American Dream and Paulo Coelho

Five minutes after the attack on comedian Chris Rock in front of millions of viewers, Will Smith climbed to the top to win the Oscar for Best Actor. Williams method Between crying. Everyone expected an apology, but instead a justification was heard that his actions were based on protecting the family. “I do not want to win an award. “It’s about being able to educate all people,” he said at the beginning of his speech, adding that he felt overwhelmed by what God was calling him to do in this world: “In my life I am asked to love people. “I will protect the people and be a river for my people.”

A speech that shocked many, but it only materializes the words of the intentions that the actor had in his films. Since its inception, his career has been based on two interrelated concepts: family and the American Dream. Will Smith feels like a leader who has to spread the message, the message that in the United States, if you make the effort, you can get everything you want. That is: economic success and a family that provides peace of mind. He has always said this in his interviews, he is a reflection of the fact that the American Dream exists. It does not matter to him that 90% of his compatriots did not achieve this, for him, of course, it will be because they did not try hard enough or God did not have this plan in place for this man.

Says one of your reference books, Alchemist By Paulo Coelho, which he even intended to shoot repeatedly as a film. “God wrote the way in the world that every human being has to go through,” Coelho says on his pages. Also, that “when you want something very strongly, the world is conspiring for you to fulfill your desire.” According to these mantras, the actor built his career from the very beginning: effort, family and self-development. If American encyclopedias had to post a photo to explain the “American Dream,” they would have posted a photo of Will Smith.

His first success came in the form of a TV series, Tan Prince of Bell Air, In which he portrayed a character of his own name who fled a filthy neighborhood in Philadelphia to live with wealthy uncles. Smith has no neighborhood or class pride, but a desire to have what whites have: money and social status. The series sold Cinderella a fairy tale to a community of blacks, they could live just like the rest. Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian had a house that looked like the White House, but they were humble and good people. His propaganda work had begun.

In an analysis of the mic.com series, they talk about the prototype of toxic masculinity that Will Smith already represented, a typical flirtation that re-abuses and accuses until it gets a yes answer. He does not understand, no. The girls stand in the way, changing places in the classroom to be by their side. There are also two episodes that clearly show what ‘black’ should be like. In Season 1, Episode 4, Uncle Phil recounts his origins on the farm and feels embarrassed. There is no class pride and it highlights how it gave him the American Dream to have what he has now. In Season 2, 20, Marge, Uncle Phil’s old companion with whom he fought for black rights in the ’60s, appears. He runs away from the police as he continues to be active and throws them in the face. Became centrifugal, to which Phil, in an epic-filled speech, replies that he is now fighting for the “right path” after becoming a “lawyer.” Fight from within the system, never confront it.

The TV series made him a star and jumping into the movies was inevitable. Since then, his career has had two aspects: the blockbusters with which he became a mass idol, and the “serious” films with which he is seeking an Oscar, as well as showing his way of understanding life through faith, family, and the American dream. . Already with his blockbusters he always takes on the role of savior. He is a superhero Hancock who starts disrespectfully and ransoms himself for love; Is a heartfelt “scoundrel” leader who will save the world A man in black Or I robot.

My father was a bully, but he was also in every game, game and recital. I was an alcoholic, but I was sober at the premiere of each of my films.

The second aspect of his career begins in 2001, when Michael Mann entrusts him with the role of Muhammad Ali. An example of an improvement that the system faces but after many failures becomes the greatest boxer in history. He achieves his first Oscar nomination and begins to obsess over winning the award. An obsession that is reinforced in various “serious” projects. They are also the ones with whom he is most involved and in whom he most openly shows his vision of life.

There is a frame You seek happiness Directed by Gabriele Muchino and for whom he was again nominated for an Oscar in 2007. Smith is the producer and promoter of this story based on a true story in which he gives life to a father who sleeps with him on the streets. The son becomes a successful broker. This is the absolute praise of the American Dream, “If you work hard, you will get it” and money as the ultimate goal. “Do not allow anyone to say that you can not do something, not even me. If you have a dream, you have to keep it. If you want something, go out and get a point. “People who fail to achieve their dreams often tell others that they too will not achieve their dreams,” she tells her son in fiction, a character actually played by her son, Jayden Smith.

For years he considered this role his best role and probably that is why he is repeating it with Muchino Seven souls, Which was a turning point for him: “After this film I had an epiphany about what I wanted to be and everything I wanted to do, the idea that I was living for humanity and not for the sake of commercial success. From my films. ” A film that also emphasized the importance of God in commercials. “No matter how horrible life is, just know that there is someone high up next to you,” he told Collider.

He tried to merge his two aspects After Earth, A blockbuster in which many saw the defense of Scientology, a belief that was popular with film professionals by Tom Cruise and which Smith openly defended. “I believe in many ideas of Scientology, they are brilliant and revolutionary and not religious,” said the actor, who donated $ 122,500 that year to various associations directly affiliated with Scientology whose members believe in the existence of Xenus, a foreign dictator. The Galactic Confederation, which brought billions of people to Earth 75 million years ago and threw them into a volcano. After killing all of them with hydrogen bombs, their souls gathered and clung to the bodies of living people.

Fiasco at the box office After Earth And criticism for advocating Scientology forces Smith to go through a stage where he is not successful at the box office or in the personal projects of which he is a part. The truth is bitter, Biographical Neuropathologist Bennett Omalu, who was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, has caused so much damage to so many players that even many NFL stars have committed suicide. With that film he visited Madrid and did not stop praising the American Dream and proving that it exists and works. According to Smith, Omalu, the real person on whom his character is based, was told from childhood that “America was a place where God sent his beloved people.”

“I am an American dreamer, I am the best example of someone who reaches the top from very low. I am an example of a career that can only develop in the United States and I am proud of this journey. That’s why I get upset when an American spoils the American Dream, I personally take it. “Because I am an example, I try to make sure that others do not forget where we come from and where we are going,” he told El País.

You all define the American Dream. They represent the best that we all hope this world and this country can be.

A message that is directly related to that Williams method. In the hands of Will Smith, the project promoter, Richard Williams – the father of tennis players Venus and Serena – is an honest man who protects his family and proves that anything is possible in the US, even if two black girls become neighbors. For two sports superstars. He does not criticize the methods of the daughters, the obsession, the exploitation for its economic benefit. He does not say that he had another family, he left his wives, it was a betrayal. No, because he cares that he was a man who did everything for his daughters and wife. As Jada did for Pinkett shortly after the Oscars.

A critical choice a few weeks before the Oscars, he reiterated his obsession: “You all define the American Dream. They represent the best that we all hope this world and this country can be. I love that we were able to show what her mother (from Venus and Serena) did to help her family form, shape, and form, and we could show the world the power of faith, the power of unity, the power. Family, the power of discipline. ”

Promotion Williams method Coincided with his memories, Will, Where it opens into a channel. A very useful book to see the actor’s obsessions, but also his injuries. An actor who was notorious for the violence his father used against his mother, but who eventually defended him. “My father was a great man. Like many sons, I worshiped my father, but I was afraid of him. He has been one of the greatest blessings in my life and, at the same time, one of the greatest sources of pain. My father was a bully, but he was also in every game, game and recital. He was an alcoholic, but he was sober about each of them Premieres From my movies. When I was nine years old, I saw my father hit my mother so hard on the back that she disappeared. I saw his blood spitting. “That moment, in that room, determined who I was more than any other moment in my life,” he says in the book.

God always finishes the entry, reaffirms the importance of faith, and attaches greater importance to everything that happens to him, even his attitude toward sex, which is almost a way of escape for those who seek only love: “I have turned to some. Facial hyena. I had relationships with many women that made me feel so guilty inside that I had a psychosomatic reaction to orgasm. It literally confused me and even made me want to divorce. Every time I did that, I looked at God in the hope that this wonderful stranger was the person I really loved, the one who would relieve me of this pain. The look in the eyes of those women only deepened my suffering. “God, love, family, and the American dream.
