21

Truth or Dare? If you had the capability to count cards, were given one night to gamble in Vegas, and had the chance to win thousands of dollars, would you? Ben took this challenge. He needed money to go pre-med after MIT. So it was either become apart of a gambling team or figure out a way to "dazzle" the dean for a full scholarship. By the title he definitely took on the gambling, but did it pay off to give into this dazzling opportunity?

I think every day we are faced with decisions, tempting and life changing. And with every move we make we alter our futures. 21 embodies this idea. But what makes decisions so difficult is not knowing the outcome. Even though we know that eventually every decision shapes and molds us, that everything happens for a reason, however getting to the point of acceptance and realizition is unbearably difficult.

I like to look at this movie as a reminder to hold out on my mistakes and not freak out so much. I know there will be clarity, comfort and acceptance. I know it will come.
