Everybody I know who has seen it says the same thing: Slumdog Millionaire is the movie to see, right now.
Ty Burr, of the Boston Globe, says, "I'll keep this simple: Cancel whatever you're doing tonight and go see Slumdog Millionaire instead.” Get to this link to see more reviews and find out where this gem of a movie is playing near you: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809956055/info
The story line is simple, Jamal Malik, a homeless orphan, now a grown man, is one question away from winning a million dollars. The authorities think he is cheating and interrogate him. He tells them his life story, how he has learned the answer to each question through his harrowing life experiences.
He wants to be on Millionaire, not to win the money, but so that he can connect with his childhood sweetheart. She, has been with him, on this rollercoaster ride of a life, and now more then anything wants to be with him.
One of my personal criteria for what makes a great movie is if the movie shows me another place that I have never been. If you have been curious about India, especially India in the modern day, you will love this movie.
