Money isn't real

I picked this up from one more impressive movie I saw today. Johnny Depp starrer, "BLOW". Quite a good movie with a nice storyline and an important message which I always try to remember but I always forget.
The lesson being, " Money isnt real ". Jung, the character played by JD, got to learn this hard way after 42 years. He got to realise the importance of other things. But again the effect started to vain of me as I was typing the blog. And slowly but surely it again crept in my mind. Whether I truly believe in this statement or it one of those idealistic thoughts that keep coming back in my head. How long can I survive without cash these days.
Can someone even question the path that Jung took in the movie. Do we really feel sorry for him? Actually thats the whole paradox in the film. Even though there are strong emotions and lots of betrayal in the movie, you can't really point out a villanous character. Sometime you feel angry and sometime sorry.
But ultimately we realise we are all trying for the same thing. The Money, which again may not be real for any of us. Now, I am unable to finish off this post as I am falling short of words so if some of my friends can watch the movie and take this post to logical ending I would really appreciate that.
