Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Slumdog Millionaire deserves the praise it has gotten. Part game show, part drama, part romance - this film can appeal to anyone. It manages to be horrifying, humorous, upsetting and uplifting all at the same time. A very well-done film that I will see again and would recommend to almost anyone. Finally, the Academy Awards got something right.

This is a piece of art. Well paced, awesome acting, incredibly good backgrounds. What more can you ask?

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.

It's a good movie but it's not the best. The first half of the film reminded me of "City Of God" about homeless kids in Brasil,but that film had far more violents kids. The story will be fun for those who used to be hooked on the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" quiz show. Almost all of the story is told in flashbacks. It's one of those stories where all the little pieces fit together in the end to explain why things happened in the start of the film.
