Theory?

I'm no expert, but I recently watch Slumdog Millionaire (really good btw) but I can't help but think that the movie has an underlying message of atheism. I think Jamal, the main character is supposed to be basically an atheist, or just not a believer in god. I think he believes more in himself, and logic.

(I'm gonna ruin parts of the movie here)

Jamal uses logic through out the game show, his memories and his basic knowledge of life and what not. The last question he does not know the answer to and just guesses, no faith or miracle involved, very obviously, just a guess. Also one of the other questions about the hindi (or muslim) he says he wishes he didn't know the answer too. He seems in pain at the thought of the "god". I'm pretty sure it was a muslim god which would mean that he could only not want to remember the answer because it was symbolic to him of his mothers death while being attacked by muslims, but I don't think that is the only meaning behind that. Also a point is made that his brother, Salim, is religious and it also clearly shows that Jamal is aware of this. He is never seen praying himself though, and his brother is specifically portrayed as religious to show that he is not all bad.

I missed a few parts of the movie, so maybe it proved my theory wrong at some point, but I doubt it. Why do I think that this is a point? Jamal's intelligence is an important part of this movie, he uses logic over faith.

Also the very end of the movie shows the answer the the question asked to the audience in the beginning referring to why/how Jamal is on/winning the game, the answer is D) it is written. This points more to the belief of fate (to me), rather then religion. The answer really doesn't seem relevant when compared to religious beliefs.

Mmmmm I think that's it, the end.

It all changes

and you weren't worth all that you put us through.

Thats all I can say

I stayed in the dungeon all weekend with my best friend smoking pot, cause nothing else felt right. I passed up 2 parties and I haven't been drunk all week. I just figured that the usual drunken ridiculousness and mistakes aren't as funny or acceptable if your crying about something real at the end of it all.

So much for spring break, there's always next week.

Moment

I had so many moments today it's insane. And it's only 2 oclock.

First of all I think it's crazy how much music can do for a person. I'm having a fucking terrible time right now with things going on and I'm appreciating so many songs in a new way. Pints of Guiness Make You Strong gave me od chills in the parking lot on my ten minute break today.

And my epiphany.

I had a serious epiphany today. I'm so done being a bitch. (To people I care about mostly)

I can't elaborate right now, I'm on a break again...

I only write in this thing when I'm angry...

I noticed.

I reallllly didn't want to sit home or smoke or do the fucking usual because
A) that's all I've done this entire waste of a fucking vacation
B) I really want to get drunk
C) I love boys
D) I'm sick of being sad

but no. I'm sure I'll wind up doing exactly the same shit, as always.
Great, I just knocked both of my fucking contacts out at the exact same time.

I think this is one of the worst moods I've been in in a longgg time, I would say it couldn't get any worse but it probably willl..

Murph

:(

I haven't

had this little hope in humanity in a long time. How can one night of shit ruin everything, for atleast tonight.


I have no words, actually.
