Will Smith is a hip-hop artist, actor, and producer. He has starred in films such as Ali, Men in Black, and He’s the DJ, I’m a Rapper. During his early career, Smith played the fictional version of himself on the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He is currently considered one of the most influential hip-hop artists of all time. While Smith has always been a polarizing figure in pop culture, his music is as influential as his art.
Men in Black
If there was ever a hit song in the ’90s, it is “Men in Black” by Will Smith. The film is one of the most popular films of the decade and features black suits, shades, memory-erasing neuralyzers, and a kooky alien crew. But this movie isn’t only about Will Smith and his movies. Two weeks before the release of Men in Black, Columbia Records released Will Smith’s first solo single, which doubled as the film’s theme song. It became a monster hit.
Ali
Ali is one of Will Smith’s best-known films, and he’s no stranger to tackling challenging roles. In his own words, Ali was one of his “most difficult roles,” and the actor trained for two years for the role. Although his physical training was “excruciating,” his emotional preparation was just as rigorous. The resulting movie, “Ali,” was a triumphant hit, and Smith nailed the accent perfectly.
He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper
He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper is the second studio album from The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. It was the first double album in hip-hop history, and it was released as the first vinyl version of the concept. Will Smith was the first actor to appear in a double-album video, and the album’s release on VHS was a surprise hit. The film features the iconic Will Smith, who makes the album a rousing and awe-inspiring experience.
Gemini Man
Gemini Man is an action flick with a throwback style. Will Smith plays a clone of himself, and the film is based around his exploits. While the plot is not particularly original, the cast includes a handful of familiar faces, including a couple of women who are not entirely sure who Smith is. The film also contains plenty of profanity and an occasional F-word. However, it is still a decent action flick that deserves a try.
Spies in Disguise
Spies in Disguise is a 2019 American computer-animated spy comedy. It is produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Inspired by Lucas Martell’s 2009 animated short, the film stars Will Smith, Rashida Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, and Reb McEntire. Spies in Disguise is directed by Troy Quane. It is rated G. It has some fun moments, but most of the movie is rather ephemeral.
Hitch
Will Smith’s hitch is a romantic comedy centered on an impoverished New York City dating coach named Alex “Hitch” Hitchens. He mentors bumbling client Albert, who hopes to win Allegra Cole’s heart. Both of them face a variety of romantic setbacks, as they both face the threat of a tabloid reporter, Sara Melas. While doing her assignment, Melas finds a connection between Albert and Allegra Cole, which threatens both of their relationships.
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happiness by Will Smith follows single father Chris Gardner who has been evicted from his apartment. To make ends meet, he lands a job as an intern for a brokerage firm, a position that pays no money. Chris and his son are forced to live in homeless shelters, but Chris refuses to give up and fights for a better life. As he learns to live with his son and build a better life for himself and his son, we become a part of his journey.
