Slumdog Millionaire

It is awesome!
It is simply awesome!!

"Slumdog Millionaire" is probably "the most simplest, excruciatingly naked about India and naive in story telling" of most of the movies made in the entire history of Indian film making

Out of the ten Oscars that it was nominated for, Slumdog Millionaire swept eight Oscars, which included two Oscars for music maestro A R Rahman, Best Director for Danny Boyle and Best Sound Mixing for India’s Resul Pookutty.

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

This movie portrayed poverty and human rights abuses without ever being patronizing to those on the receiving end.

It's really heartbreaking to see the people living in that environment!

The way Boyle the director ties together Jamal's life experiences with his answers on the show is quite brilliant, and the film really does run the full gamut of emotions as we see him growing up, falling in love, coming close to death,and teetering on the brink of escaping from his terrible predicament.

This scene is just simply disgusting and hilarious~!!

Lil' Jamal is so cute!

Handsome!

And i found that the last scene with a Bollywood style dance on the railway platform is so funny! It is a British movie with an Indian heart. By the way, they are still awesome!
