Slumdog Millionaire


So i watched "Slumdog Millionaire" last night. I really wanted to watch this award winning movie but as i enter the theatre, there was only about 20 people in there and so i wonder "what's wrong?". I have confidence that it is a great movie but it doesn't seem like it for other Malaysians. And you know what, the movie was great, probably one of the few among the best that i have watched. It was really great, the selection of the actor and actresses, the child stars and most importantly, the plot. The story line was great and it takes place in India. It shows the culture and the way people live there. Well, here i mean they show the life of the poor people. It really touched me of the way they live and how a child grow up in that place without proper food, education and shelter. I really pitied the way they live and this is the kind of culture that i want to see when i visit a country. Overall, i would really want to watch the movie again. It is really great and i highly recommend that you get yourself to the nearest cinema and watch. It is great and please be reminded that it does not mean that you have to be indian to be related to this movie. It is a really amazing movie and the people of india should be very proud of this movie

This is one of the summary taken online.
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. Written by Fox Searchlight Pictures
