Tonight's movie is the feelgood movie of the decade, well that's what the reviews say. It's the story of the; Slumdog Millionaire.
Loved htis film, those of you who know my tatse in ovies, will know that feelgood films are the genre of choice and Slumdog does not fail to deliver. Sometimes tragic, sometimes comedic, but it has something else, a little magic conjured up by director Danny Boyle.
Synopsis;
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), 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 India¹s "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 (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions.
Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s 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?
