Slumdog Millionaire; because I cannot get it off my head.

The title summarizes it. I love this movie; how it has gotten into my mind and heart last June 19, night, after watching it, and how it's still here, motivating me. Inspiring me. And this is one of my favorite movies. Forever.

After all the breakthroughs, I really love to watch a movie that would make me unwind. About all things I can't get off my head. One thing I like about yesterday night is not only the new country I have visited, but I also got to know Jamal, whom I consider one of the greatest fictional character made (or maybe he isn't fictional at all. Maybe this movie really showed its mirror by filming this, maybe India is like this). What else am I talking about, it's Slumdog Millionaire, baby.

Up until now, I cannot forget how his life revolved from taking chances with a slight confidence that maybe, he was right; to the gambling moments where he is torn already: he doesn't own any good luck at all.
Maybe everyone already knows about his life (considering the movie was a candidate for 10 nominations and won 8 of those!) but, I might as well tell you for the sake of yours truly.

Jamal Malik was in Who Wants to be a Millionaire, playing for nothing but to let himself see Latika. Later on he had flashbacks of his own life...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slumdog_millionaire (and you thought I'd waste my time if there's internet.) I just hope the net won't get screwed by the time I get old and wanted to read this.

Jamal, the man who won her girl and from the cliffhangers (leaving the train station with the girl), the man who won 20, 000, 000 rupees and who was admired by everyone, faced life's confrontations. He faced it with his full strength. And he took it seriously; not just a game.

I believe life is not just a game; not some Who Wants to be a Millionaire or any other kind of gamble. If I don't take life seriously; who would for me? I am responsible for life myself; and Jamal found his purpose, I guess. Now it's my turn.
