Slumdog Millonaire

Quote :

The jumble and hustle of modern-day India provides the steamy, energetic backdrop to Danny Boyle's electrifying new feature, Slumdog Millionaire.
The film is an eloquent and moving account of a boy who attempts to
become a millionaire on a television game show, rediscovering the love
of his life in the process. Boyle uses this extraordinary premise to
paint a kaleidoscopic portrait of a society built around survival of
the fittest, where betrayal is commonplace and greed and corruption lie
just around every corner.In a picaresque tale worthy of a Henry
Fielding novel, this Tom Jones is Jamal, a poor, bright-eyed youth
mischievously getting in and out of scrapes with his even more
rambunctious older brother, Salim. In a horrifying turn of events, the
two youngsters' lives change in front of their eyes when their mother
is viciously killed during a riot. Alone, they turn to the streets,
becoming “slumdogs.” A ray of sunshine comes into their lives when they
befriend another orphan, the feisty young girl Latika, and soon the
three are inseparable. Adventure follows as the trio learns to survive
the cutthroat life of contemporary India – but at least they have each
other. Or do they?Years later, Jamal appears on India's version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Amazingly, he finds himself in the position of winning more and more
prize money as the answers to the questions keep tumbling his way. But
how can a “slumdog” with no formal education know the answers to these
questions? Suspicions are raised, and Jamal quickly learns that the
game show will be his biggest life test.Boyle's film is a
cinematic rollercoaster ride. Above all a romance, it is played out in
a world where social, economic and political issues are never far away.
The young cast is superb, but it is Boyle's dramatic smarts and feel
for the heat, sweat and street life of Mumbai that transforms Slumdog Millionaire into a compelling and gripping cinematic experience.Piers Handling

There was a change of plan and we went to see this movie last night (was at protest today)

Its VERY VERY good NOTHING to what I expected, Its original and fresh. Plus it deals with a lot of issues that have been ignored in India. Like Child Poverty

I watched Notorious last night which is the life story of Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls B.I.G a famous Rapper in the 90's. He was murdered following the murder of 2pac.

The movie shows the rise from rags to riches. Its around 2 hours long and for me was a little dissapointing, but what it showed you is the side of the story from Biggies end. He was accused of attacking 2pac and then even murdering him later on, but the movie explains how he was set up to make a East Coast West Coast war, which the media thrived on.
