Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire, one of the best movie I watched recently.

The story is about an 18 years old Indian boy. Jamar Malik, an orphan who grew up without proper education and lived in the slum area, won "Who wants to become the millionaire". The movie tells us his adventurous and sad childhood, and how he came to know all the answers in the game which arouse suspicions and led to the accusation of him cheating.

After watching this movie, I am glad that I am a normal people, not rich, not poor, never worry about will there be any food to eat tomorrow, can sleep comfortably every night, have eyes to see beautiful and ugly things in life, have parents who still treat me like chidren, having a good job and many great friends.

I used to say that our life are in our hand. However, as I grow older, I sort of believe that our destiny are somehow written. What we done in the past made the unique life we had today and what we did now affecting our future. Are we actually controlling our live or it is our live which control us?

Jamal Malik unfortunate life experiences coincidentally enabled him to know the answer to each question. It is like news last month regarding the pilot who saved the lives of the passangers. When you read about the history of the pilot, it is as if his whole life is preparing him to face the challenge in the plane crashed incident. Same case as Jamal Malik, where his whole childhood is preparing him to become a millionaire.

A great movie at the beginning of this not so good 2009. Strongly recommend to watch. Let us ignore our frog MP, pariah government, lowsy economy and all the unhappy events in life. Sees obstacle as opportunities and live life to the fullest.
