I love film. I think it’s an amazing medium to get a message across. I’ve watched a couple different films the past few weeks that have really left an impression upon me.
The first is a film called Slumdog Millionaire ... It's an amazing story … of amazing triumph. It chronicles the life of a young man, who grew up in the slums of Mumbai. Without giving to much detail, he winds up on India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He ends up winning big, but because of his status in society, he is thought to have cheated. From there, he is interrogated and reveals to authorities pivotal moments in his life, which then reveals why he knows each question asked of him on the show.
I’ve never seen a film so enthralling, so captivating … it makes you truly blessed with what you have right in front of you … but also, it will make you aware of the atrocities in other parts of the world. Despite this young man’s tragedy, heartache, and pain, he overcomes, and in the end, truly finds the happiness he deserves.
The second film is in a completely different genre. It’s called The Family that Preys. It’s a Tyler Perry film that I must say, I was truly mesmerized by. It follows two families from different walks of life …
The story tells how the families become intertwined by tragedy, infidelity, and lies. But it also reveals the amazing power of grace and forgiveness. It shows how our choices can affect our lives ... how they can make us the people we become, whether that is good or bad.
Amazing films, with amazing messages! Check em' out!
