My Pastor and I always talk about movies to see. We exchange our thoughts and ideas about the films we see. The latest we discussed was Slumdog Millionaire. As I watched the film, I was amazed at the poverty these children had to grow up in, and to realize that this type of poverty is very real. The film also gave a great depiction on how children learn. As a lifelong educator, I have learned that children learn and retain information in many diffierent ways. This film validates that theory. The actng was so good that it made me think I was watching a documentary instead of a fiction film. I also was reminded that ego and jealousy are world wide emotions where people feel that only the rich are wise and educated.
