Leap of Faith 2

It’s strange for me too writing on topic on which I already wrote before, but I had to because last time when I wrote about leap of faith I was not clear about that idea myself, and I was unable to express what it truly represent, and today it hit me what example I should use while expressing what leap of faith means, and how that article should have gone so, I took decision to write about this topic again. Let me tell you in detail why I came to this decision of writing on same topic twice. Recently, I watched Academy Awards function, and like many I watched it only to know who is getting Oscar for best actor, but not like you, because many of you watched this function in hope of seeing Leonardo Dicaprio get award of best actor, but I watched it to see my favorite actor Mathew McConaughey win the Oscar for best actor and finally he won. Now like you I also think Leonardo deserve an Oscar for best actor, but when it’s compared to acting of Mathew McConaughey’s acting in Dallas buyers’ club. I personally think I don’t need to convince you for this if you have watched Dallas buyers’ club. And that movie is the only reason am writing about leap of faith. Now who ever seen that movie must knew it’s an epic and so heart touching, and Mathew’s acting is impeccable in it his portrayal of electrician and hustler Ron Woodroof is heart touching. But am not here to write about his acting and movie I am here to talk about ‘Leap of faith’ and how this is connected to movie so for that you need to understand bit of that movies history. That movie is based on Ron Woodroof who was the subject of a lengthy 1992 article in The Dallas Morning News written by journalist and author Bill Minutaglio. A month before Woodroof died in September 1992, screenwriter Craig Borten interviewed him to create the screenplay; Borten recorded many hours of interviews with Woodroof and had access to his personal journals. Borten drafted 10 different scripts for what he believed would make a great movie, and attempted to attract interest in making the film in the mid 1990. And that script was around for 20 years no one wanted to make that movie, and it was rejected 137 times. No one was ready to make that movie and invest in it. Finance was taken off from that movie just week before it was about to start shooting, and as Mathew told in his interview that credit cards were pulled out of peoples pocket to get this movie done. Mathew personally done lot more than just investing money and time in this movie he lost 47 pounds (21 kg) for the role, going from 183 pounds (83 kg) to 136 pounds (62 kg). He reportedly stayed indoors in his Texas mansion for six months to become paler and ceased socializing and had to find new ways to entertain himself, which made him "smarter". When he reached as low as 143 lbs, his eyesight began to fail. He began to feel extremely weak to the point that he'd be sore from doing five push-ups and his legs would lock up after running 30 feet Jared Leto lost over 30 pounds (14 kg) for the role and confessed to having stopped eating to lose weight quicker; his lowest record weight was 114 pounds (52 kg) which was so much more for just getting one movie done and he literally took leap of faith and believed in that script and movie and today his leap of faith landed him his first Oscar of best actor. Not only he gained lot from this leap of faith but also every one attached to this movie got more than they thought of. That movie got 6 Oscar nominations including Mathew’s as best actor and won three Oscars not only this As of March 5, 2014, Dallas Buyers Club has grossed $25,508,950 in North America and $6,000,000 in foreign countries, for a worldwide gross of $31,508,950. The same film which no one wanted to make and people rejected it for almost 20 years and people associated with this film took very big leap of faith in believing in this film, and today they got what they deserved. So by taking inspiration from this we may all take leap of faith and get what we deserve
