Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fantastic!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The amazing hard work that directors Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandan had put into this movie was so appreciated that it won 8 oscars, in 2008. From the actors they had chosen to the film scenery,everything was exactly what people would expect from a Oscar winning film. Jamal Malik is a poor indian boy, trying to survive a life in the second largest slum of the world, in Mumbai (former Bombay). The plot shows Jamal and his brother growing up, living some heartbreaking moments after their mother's death, up until present, when an adult version of Jamal participates in a TV show, "How to be a millionaire" ,so that the love of his life, Latika would see him. As I said earlier, the acting is great, with actors like Dev Patel and Anil Kapoor. The backround track "Jai Ho" ties everything up in a great movie. And if you were wondering, Yes it hits you right in the feels, making you cry like a baby, with some really tough scenes bu making you as happy as you could be at the end.I really recommend you to watch it, no regrets + you would have another great film to share with your friends

Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 drama film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Simon Beaufoy, and produced by Christian Colson. Set and filmed in India, it is an adaptation of the novel Q & A (2005) by Indian author Vikas Swarup. The actors are: Dev Patel as Jamal Malik, a boy born and raised in the poverty of Mumbai, Freida Pinto as Latika, a girl from the streets who joins Jamal and Salim and Anil Kapoor as Prem Kumar, the game show host. The story is about Jamal, a teen who is accused of cheating on the Indian Version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?". It is a good movie with an estimated buget of $15,000,000. The film won 8 Oscars and other 144 wins & 126 nominations. The acting is really good and I love the movie. If you are into dramas and you need something to watch, I recommend this movie.

Having as pretext the coutest "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Danny Boyle manager to realise in his latest film, a very beautiful sneak peek into the suburbs of India. I found really amazing what he managed to realize with only a bunch of no name actors and 15 million dollars budget. The film is almost perfect. Although a second rate film, the actors did a wonderful job. The excellent screenplay has already been rewarded with a Golden Globe and I believe Danny Boyle's directing won't have any Oscar rival either. Not to be forgotten also A.R.Rahman's wonderful sound track. Slumdog Millionaire is a trully Indian saga, a living proof that great projects can be realised with little money. It is a film that can be seen again and again.

Slumdog Millionaire is a story about a poor child from Mumbai, who became rich. He was born in this poor city and there he met his first love.This child had only his brother with him, until he betrayed him.This child became rich because he went to an intelligence show and the questions perfectly matched to his experiences from the past. I recognized some actors, like Dev Patel or Freida Pinto because i have seen some of their movies, like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" or "Chappie".My favourite character is Jamal Malik, because he never gave up. In my opinion, the movie is very good because it represents the real lifestyle of a big number of humans.Also, it represents the fact that nowadays, money can buy everything, except happiness.But, i don't really think that this movie deserves 8 Oscars, i don't know exactly the reason but that's what i think. So if you like this type of movies, you should watch it soon, because it's a really good one.
