TWINNNNNNNNN

Slumdog Millionaire: Jamal Malik [INFP]

Introverted Feeling (Fi):  Despite all the bad things that keep happening to him, Jamal is a hopeless romantic. Money is not that important to him and he tries to win the game because he hopes his childhood crush will be watching the show, not because he wants to be rich. He has a sense of morale and unlike his brother, he doesn’t jump onto every occasion to steal or swindle. He even gives 100 $ to a blind beggar, even though he must know the poor boy probably won’t be able to keep it. He’s sensitive to criticism and feels very offended when someone says the girl he loves must be ugly.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): He has a strong imagination. When tourists ask him about the Taj Mahal, he makes up stories on the spot. He uses his goofy sense of humor in front of the cameras. He’s also perceptive about people and isn’t fooled when the TV show presenter tries to trick him.

Introverted Sensing (Si): He comes back to his childhood place and remember how different things used to be. His great memory allows him to find most of the answers. Every memory is associated with emotions and he relives these emotions whenever he thinks back: the loss of his mother, the sadness when he met the blind friend again and so on.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Thinking rationally is not his strongest point. However, he’s able to make up a plan when needs be: he finds a way into the TV show and when he can’t find the answer to a question, he uses his joker and logic to win.

Ok, so Monkey Man.

I realize that there's so much to this, but the fact that this film is so accessible to all audiences.

Not only our currently political times (yes, I'm sure it'd be applicable to any political time), with Ukraine, Palestine, US elections, you name it, the antinationalist overtones make sense in any context.

The fact that we have such a huge minority representation, in a position of nuturance and power, that is so well balanced with realism and empowerment, it includes people in a similar position across the world.

The emotionality and desperation is so well depicted, who doesn't feel that? The production of contrasting close ups and large scenic shots, the art of the color palette of the nationalist party invoking violence, the motifs with the sun, roots, hands. It all speaks to the human aspects of this film that give it such a raw feeling.

And the music, it's accessible to generations, the hidden gem of Roxanne, Somebody to Love, not only pulling out old bangers, but speaking to a subliminal inner monologue of the kid. (Also, as a nerd, Bloodywood in the fight scene with the hijra, is just such a direct political message and I love all of the production team for that).

I'm just so in love with this film.

Its so annoying when I see people saying 'Monkey Man' is the indian John Wick. No it really isnt? It's its own film & has its own important message without having to compare it to another movie because you dont have the creativity to describe it. Plus it does a disservice to all the work that Dev Patel put in for people to turn around & say that. Tell me you missed the whole point of the movie without telling me you missed the whole point of the movie..

[softyliony]

I don't think i'll ever recover from Dev Patel biting off that one guy's nose

[sunonwaxyleaves]

what if i were to be extremely controversial and said this is my jegulus what if i said im screaming until my voice gives out because dear god what have i done oh my GOD???

[ninoochat]

he was meowing the entire movie as far as im concerned

[medufasa]

The lighting is absolutely ass but anyways please marry me dev no bullshit I'm in love with you

[jekyllnahyena]

Dev Patel the man that you are

[ishiitake]

He's all up in my mind

[lostandbackagain]

inkheart vs inkspell/inkdeath is one of my favorite things to rant about but like.

in inkheart dustfinger refuses to dwell on what and who he's lost because the grief is making him insane so he doesn't tell us anything and all we get about the inkworld is hateful, unreliable snippets from capricorn and basta so you think, yeah, this man is kind of a lunatic to be willing to be so horrible and to suffer so much in return for the chance to return to so little.

then you get through the rest of the series and see how extremely loved dustfinger is by so many people and it paints the first book in such a different light that it makes me rabid knowing the majority of people just stop there. like most people have to just. believe basta of all people and never know that dustfinger is being grieved by the people who raised him and grew up with him and worked with him and chose him and whose nights were less dark just because he existed. I'd burn the skin off my hands too for that kind of love.

[pearlofthesirens]

dev patel. yes that's it. that's all you need to know.

[heavenbarnes]
