21 Movie
Las Vegas is Nevadas capital city and a famous place for gamblers. It is considered to be the gambling capital of the world where gamblers, enthusiasts, spectators and hopefuls all gather for a night of fast cash and good luck. Las Vegas is a tourist destination for people who want to be amazed with its beauty and glitter. Las Vegas houses numerous hotels, casinos and casino resorts for the enjoyment of many.
The 2008 movie 21 is in honor of Las Vegas and its gambling sprees. The movie started with a young and poor college student named Campbell played by Jim Sturgess who applies for the renowned Robinson Scholarship in Harvard Medicine School which will pay for his 300,000 USD tuition fee. He was asked by the interview to relate what sets him apart from all other applicants and challenged him to dazzle him. Campbell then relates his life as a card counter in a Las Vegas casino hotel.
He was discovered by his Math professor played by Kevin Spacey when he gave the student a problem based on the Monty Hall problem of probability in which Campbell, successfully solved. He was then invited by Spacey to be part of his exclusive blackjack team of card counters, taking them every weekend to Vegas. Campbell proved to be a bright addition to the team as he began earning a lot of money for Spacey.
The movie made a sudden twist as Campbell lost a large sum one night that made Spacey kicked him out of the club and stole all his earnings from his home in an attempt to pay him back what he lost. Campbell managed to convince Spacey to get him back on the team and made a truce with the rest of the team to double cross Spacey so they can have all the earnings for themselves.
The movie was downright witty as it unraveled what was indeed, truly Las Vegas.
