Slumdog worth a Million



If you watched the Golden Globes this last sunday you were probably wondering why this movie you have never heard of is winning all the awards. Well I'm here to fill you in on this top honor movie called "Slumdog Millionare."

Let me just say that this is the best movie I have seen all year. It deserved every award it received and then some. Im telling all of you right now to go see it if its near you and if its not find a way to see it, you wont regret it.

Understandably so, most of you haven't seen this movie bc its been in very limited release so here is my 10 cents on the movie (or more like IMDB's ten cents).

"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."

Seriously this movie is unreal. I honestly have seen it twice in one week. p.s. for all that care, there is absolutly no reason why this movie is rated R, so if you are worried about that you 100% honestly don't have to, there is nothing, and I mean nothing,wrong with this movie.
