Walk the fine line

Slumdog Millionaire moves beyond words, it's a reminder of a home long buried in materiality, to people who dive in to the heart of everything that matters.

It fascinates me that someone like Jamal's life brushes on the fine line of luck and misfortune, yet all the misfortune precisely makes him value whatever "luck" there's left for him. On a retrospective, all his luck were heavily disguised as his misfortunes. It reminds me of the home where people scrounged savagely for whatever the better of human nature has left behind. It's dirty, wild with raw emotions that are brought forefront and revealed through their eyes.

This is much unlike what is happening around me: people are self-interested, even if it jeopardizes the reputation of their career and their family. Money talks without integrity, with a loud voice that bounces off even a filled room. It's almost like humanity has to be thrown out the window everyday to justify that asset size.

All in all, this is a must-watch movie, with much room for character development, both for the actors/actresses and ourselves.
