What does it take to find a lost love?
A. Money
B. Luck
C. Smarts
D. Destiny
A very hard question to answer for people who are truly in love. Money, luck, smarts, or destiny - which is the best one?
Before I start, let me apologize for not posting any posts for one or two weeks because it's our final term for this semester already and I, with my university-mates, am so busy making and doing our semesteral-ender requirements including signing of clearance and making and defensing/presenting our IT-related projects.Uhm...Okay...Here I go...
Last week, February 28, we, my family, watched the 81st Academy Awards (Oscar) best picture film, the Slumdog Millionaire, because we were so intrigued why it won several awards. And we have concluded that it's worth the Oscar.
While watching, we haven't felt a single second boredom in the movie. You will surely watch every moment of the movie, every scene, action, and line. It's a full packed movie which contains the life of Jamal, the main protagonist, his love story, the picture of the present India, and the mentality and manners of the Hindus. The story is realistic and fun !
The story took place when Jamal joined the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". There, the excitement started - How he found her lost girl-friend (not girlfriend), why and how he became a millionaire even though he is only a slumdog who is under-educated because he didn't even reached high school, and how abused are the children in India. It also implicates brotherly love, childhood friendship, survival in a City of poverty, and crime modus superandi.
In addition, the proverb,
Experience is the best teacher, may be a theme of the movie; You don't have to be rich or scholastically educated just to be a millionaire. Even a mouse can be a lion in a dream.
All in all, it's 8.8/10 for me. It's really worth the awards and worth watching. A great, fascinating Indie film. We Filipinos can really reflect and relate with the movie. Just watch the movie and you can choose the answer to the question above depending on how you interpreted the last part of the movie.
So what do you think it does take to find a lost love?
