Slumdog Millionaire Movie Review!

I didn't get a chance to see this in theatres so that was too bad, because I heard it was way better on the big screen, but I did rent it and it was great! Slumdog Millionaire is a great movie but it is definitely an 'R' movie, just the disturbing images and violence mainly.

Slumdog Millionaire is about 18 year-old, orphan, Jamal Malik from Mumbai, India. Jamal grew up in the Indian slums and has little/no education. His mother was killed when he was just a little kid and his older brother and him had been surviving on stolen goods and conned money. Jamal was invited to be on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and he is on a winning streak. The whole movie is basically made up of flashbacks from Jamal's past. The reason he is having so many flashbacks, is because the police are interrogating him about the reasons he knew all the answers. They are suspicious about that because Jamal had only a few years of education, they think he is cheating.

All of Jamal's life, he has been in love with this girl, Latika, and he has been trying to find her for about 12 years. That is a big part of the movie.

The movie is SO great. I give it about 90 stars out of five. Yeah, it's that great! It would be great, since it won 76 awards around the world!!! 8 of those being Oscars! Amazing, right?!
