Against all odds: Learning can take place

Submitted by Susan Dorfman on Mon, 07/19/2010 - 4:28pm.

Highly stimulated after Friday's discussion and the days leading to it, I felt in the mood this weekend for good film. On Saturday, I saw Inception, a film I discussed in a different comment. Sunday, I rented, "Slumdog Millionaire," a film I wanted to see but missed. The hero of the screenplay is a boy who, against all odds, learned enough from the living of dangerous, impoverished childhood and adolescence enough to win 2 million rupees in his nation's TV game of, "Do You Want to be a Millionaire." He was judged incapable of such a feat and so tortured until it became clear to his abusers

 

I completed this comment and then lost it while editing in preview mode. I will try to recreate a hours worth of work.
