    7) Chris Gardner has used many masks throughout the movie so far. After the night he got kicked out from his apartment and had to sleep in the bathroom with Christopher, which made him break down to tears, the following day he went to his interview with a happy face and acting like nothing was wrong.

    Yes, he has used a mask in some parts of the movie. For example, when he shows his face around his job or people that seem to have money, he is happy and smiles to everyone around him. Secretely, according to his home life, he's miserable

    7. Ye, Chris does wear masks sometimes so he doesnt show how sad and stressed he is at some points. for example when that man at Dean Witter asked him for five dollars and thats all chris had and he gave it to him any way and acted like it was ok.
