Slumdog Millionaire what a movie! Katy asked me what I thought of this and I said it was rather deep. She said she wasn't getting it and I told her that to me, I believe that if we are following a spiritual path often we don't recognize when God is working through us till much later.
I do not know what the movie director or the writer were attempting but felt the movie conveyed not only that Good conquers evil but a sense that the main character's decisions were filled with integrity, honesty and compassion. He was doing the next right thing and he was given an answer towards the winning prize each time he did.
Confronted with life's inequities and the extreme in evil he still managed to maintain his goodness. When Saline chose his path he fought the fight of good vs. evil and ultimately chose good by giving up his life for his brother.
To me it is like Julia Roberts in Pretty Girl. Would we have liked this movie as well if she had decided to accept the paid girl's role from Richard Geer? It would not have imparted the feel good, yes we can beat it, feelings it did.
In the long run are we not all just trying to do the next right thing to attain the winning prize - in my case that is peace and acceptance - love and compassion - service and surrender.
