Slumdog Millionaire(2008) Movie Review

   I have never seen this so I decided to watch it last night. It won best picture at the Oscars, so i thought, it must be very good. And it is. Danny Boyle's directing is superb and all the actors do a fine job. Here we have a fine representation of a young man from the slums winning a fortune on "Who wants to be a millionaire" in a breathtakingly beautiful, amazingly well-written and extremely well performed action/drama.
   The story follows Jamal Malik, a 20-something Indian boy who works as a "chai wallah"- server of tea, at a tv broadcast station in India. He finds a way to get onto the show, who wants to be a millionaire, and gets all the way to 10 million in the first day. He is arrested for suspicion of fraud and through an emotional extravaganza of violence, love, comedy and destiny he describes and depicts the reasons he knows the answers to the questions. You can tell Jamal doesn't really want the money, he just wants to find his lost love, because he knows she is watching. Along the way he loses his mother, is taken in by a man who turns out to be a bad guy, sees his brother become a gangster, and many more fantastic stories. A dazzling movie that definitely deserves the Oscar Gold it won, Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best films of the decade.

Overall Verdict: 9/10
