Movie Love: Fact or Fiction?
Last night I finally watched "Slumdog Millionaire" for the first time. I'm late, I know. At first I was surprised that this movie was focused around the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". I truly didn't see that coming. Spoilers after the cut!
Anyways, the movie also focuses on the love that Jamal has for Latika. Jamal and Latika have been friends since they were little. From when he was little, he knew he wanted to be with Latika. Throughout the movie, Jamal is put into several deadly situations, but at the same time, his main concern is for Latika. He has fought his brother for this girl. He even dressed up as a dishwasher/cook to get into the house of the new man in Latika's life.
In the end, when the dust settled, Jamal and Latika were one. They finally were able to share that kiss that they always wanted to share.
So my question is, does love like this truly exist? Can you meet someone and automatically know that you were meant to be with them? How much would you endure for the one you love?

It can happen, IMHO.
LOL NO.
It's just one of those things that are over-exaggerated for entertainment purposes.
No such thing.

slumdog millionare is a shitty movie that capitalizes on maudlin sentiments and a novel setting to entice its audience. the only remarkable thing about it is the cinematography and how utterly ridiculous the plot is
No, love is something worked on and cultivated, it never just happens. If it does, well then it doesn't usually last. Every love that is worth something is worth some hard work.
It's just a movie, sadly. I've never heard anywhere in real life of someone falling in love as toddlers.
NEVER SEEN THE DAMN MOVIE AND SENSE U TOLD THE ENDING TO THE MOVIE I DONT EVEN WANT TO SEE THE DAMN MOVIE NOW THANX FOR RUINING IT FOR ME
ANYWAYS IF THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A TOLDDLER BEING IN LOVE THEN THE COMMENTER UP ABOVE IS RIGHT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TODDLER BEING IN LOVE SO KNOCK IT OFF ITS JUST A MOVIE GOOSH.
@BoStOnIaNMoMmY@xanga - uh, she warned about spoilers. just saying.
It can happen but it's extremely extremely rare.
@iJUST_ATEabug@xanga - heehee. you're smashing.
I wish it really happened like that. =0(
i wish. could happen, but highly unlikely.
Never seen that movie. And real love isn't like movie love, I thought that everyone knew this!?!?!?!?!?!?
If your life was ideal, and your perfect match was casted for you in particular, sure you can have that kind of love. Consider a movie as a fantasy that was produced by a whole studio just to satiate the fantasy of many. Is it real or possible? You deliberate.
movie love. sigh if only.
@parsimony & bbyphat22 Thats the exact same thought I had when I walked out of the movie, I think everyone had. Me and my friend just talked about this again and wished someonefrom our childhood fell that deeply in love with us. The closest thing I know of to this kind of love is that my grandparents were in the same grade school (friends) but didn't meet again and get married until their 30's...but the circumstances of their meeting again I think was the death of their respective significant others in World War two. So yeah I guess this kind of thing comes with a heavy price for you or someone around you. Maybe it's better to wish for a more mundane kind of love.
anything is possible...and I hate to be a pessimist, but in this kind of situation it probably doesnt happen often. I wouldnt dream of something happening like this if I were you..you're kinda setting yourself up for let down.
Love can happen like that. The problem is that it rarely does, as human beings are fallen and imperfect. My great Aunt El and Great Uncle have a love like that. They were in kindergarten together, and he said to her, "I'm going to marry you!" She thought he was joking, laughed and said, "No you aren't. I'm not going to marry you." But guess what! They are married now! And that story is 100% true!
They are so funny together, because they are always joke-arguing and teasing one another. You can tell their bond is deep and it won't be broken for anything. Of course, the solid rock of their foundation is God, and they are both devoted followers of Jesus. Without God in your life, I honestly don't know how anyone can be prepared for the sacrifice of self that is necessary to have a solid marriage without Him.
My Great Uncle Jimmy, he had to sacrifice a lot for them to be together, even. His family are kind of cult followers. To marry Great Aunt El, he left that cult and became a Christian and follower of Jesus. In response, many of his family didn't talk to him for years. That is amazing dedication and faith on his part.
So yeah! That kind of love does exist! The problem is though, that people may choose to marry for the wrong reason- because he/she has a lot of money, may appear to be pretty, because they think he/she has a good family status, or education or whatever. They may even feel that a certain person is their soulmate and instead choose someone else instead who is prettier/richer/more likely to be approved of by family members, etc.
But If you follow God, he can do wondrously and abundantly above anything you may ask, hope, or dream. That's all I have to say. That may mean that you will be married, that may mean that His plan is for you to be single but change the world because you are able to stay devoted to Him and bless others. That is something you will have to ask God about... the purpose He has for your life.
I think it depends on how impulsive you are. if you follow your gut, then yes, you could know that you want to be with the person based upon your instinct.
but if you're more logical and analytical, then no, "love" at first sight doesn't exist for you - you may be attracted to the person, but you may need other prerequisites to fall in love with the person.
@BlackPoetrybyFG@xanga - Agreed.
@BlackPoetrybyFG@xanga - you're my hero. why doesn't anyone see this?
Anything is possible. (:
I haven't even seen the movie yet. Anyways I think it's like an exception. Very unlikely to happen but it could happen.
Movie love is basically impossible, because think about it if a guy infiltrated your new bf's house to get the skinny on him, you would think he's a crazy psycho stalker and be scared to ever talk to him again no matter how long you've known each other. Girls when not attracted to someone, either never having been, or timing just being bad and losing the attraction will hate any guy who tries to take them away from their new guy (especially if the girl thinks she's head over heels in love with the new guy). Just saying. Wish romantic comedy storylines were real...cuz in them the guy usually messes up big time then after lots of hard work or years of waiting he gets back the girl he always loved...but it just doesn't really work like that at least almost never in real life.
Well, that's pretty rare. It would be cool if it was true though. My story is almost similar though. I met my current bf in 4th grade, and i liked him then. We were friends and got along really well, but after that we went our separate ways and i didn't see him until later, at parties with mutual friends in middle school. Still we were distanced, because we didn't go to the same school. But he came to my school in senior year, because of an odd incident, and we got together in late senior year. It was kind of like fate, because i never stopped liking him since then, and we ended up together. Not quite like that though. XD
Sure it was unrealistic, and stuff, but i liked that movie...it made me sad though.
