”Slumdog Millionaire” is the film to see. It is one of the best films i’ve ever seen. ”Slumdog Millionaire” is a British drama film directed by Danny Boyle and it’s released in 2008. The movie takes place on Mumbai, India, where eighteen year old orphan boy Jamal Malik is a contestant on the Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire?. Jamal is one question away from winning the top price of the show, but the host can’t understand how an uneducated boy from a slum knows all the answers in the show, so he arrested Jamal a night before the last question and interrogated him after being convinced that he is cheating. The rest of the movie includes flashbacks to narrate the story of Jamal, love of his life Latika and his brother Salim. Although Jamal’s life was not easy, his life experiences gave him the knowledge to answer the difficult questions on Who wants to be a millionaire?. The movie has a typical happy ending, Jamal wins his 20 million rupees and gets his girl.
”Slumdog Millionaire” shows the poverty that exists in India. My favourite part of the film is at the start where the children are being chased through the slums by the police officers and it really shows you what the slums are like. The film also shows that there is some hope for children in the slums. It makes the film so touching.
A film like ”Slumdog Millionaire” does not come along very often. But when it does we end up falling in love. The movie is one of the most heart-warming and inspirational stories in recent years. Excitement, tragedy, love and hate it’s all featured together. If I were to point to one movie that will move you and force you to think, it would be ”Slumdog Millionaire”. I promise that the movie doesn’t leave anybody cold.
