From the director that brought us 28 Days Later and Memento, Danny Boyle gives us a new thrilling and exciting adventure. Slumdog Millionaire surely deserves it's Academy award for best picture. Because of its different and new camera work, superb acting, awesome soundtrack and moving story, this really is the must see movie of the year.
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik an 18 year old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, India, who is about to win 20 million rupees on India's versian of "Who Wants To be A Millionaire." But when the show ends for the night, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating and to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the police his life story. Each chapter in his story reveals how he learned the answers to the questions. So why is this young man, who has no apparent desire for riches, on the game show? When the show returns the next day and Jamal is asked the final question, the police and sixty million viewers are about to find out.
A congratulations must be said for the actors of the film, who were believable and never broke character. Even a few of them, young Salim (Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail) and young Latika (Rubina Ali), really live in the slums of India. Dev Patel who plays Jamal, Freida Pinto who plays Latika, Madhur Mittal who plays Salim and Anil Kapoor who plays Prem Kumar the host of India's “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” were very true to their character and made the movie even more enjoyable.
Adding together the acting, music you get the wonderful story of Slumdog Millionaire. This is one movie that would be a great addition to a collection of classics, one movie that is a must see and a must have. It is rated R for violence, disturbing images and language. But do not let that turn you away, order it from CleanFlix if you have to. You don't have to be a genius to see that this is a great movie.
