Brock Hughes-21

The movie 21 was an awesome movie. I really enjoyed the whole thing and I am really glad that we went to see the movie. I honestly still cannot really relate it to religion but I thought it was a sweet movie. The movie was about six MIT students that are brilliant minds, how I figure all the students at the school are. The main character needed to be able to pay for his school tuition so joins a group of students who are busy beating the casinos every weekend in Vegas to strike it rich. The only real parallel I saw with religion is the warning of letting earthly things become what motivates one into doing something. This group of students is seduced by the big money they can win and they allow it to become their master, which ultimately puts their lives in danger.

The Bible says that material possessions should not control our actions or thoughts; which I think is a great idea and something that should be followed because if that is your only pursuit in life you are going to get in a lot of trouble with other people that you step on to get to the top!
