This is an extraordinary movie.Is based on a Q&A and there is a good example about how your culture can change your lifestyle forever.This movie tell us that we should have confidence and we shouldn't believe anyone,except in this movie,his friend who helped him a lot.Slummdog Millionaire shows us the life conditions in small countries,and I think that's a way to show people how real life looks like and we need to help the children which doesn t have any chance to succed in life because of the bad luck they borned with

The Slumdog Millionaire is a movie directed by Danny Boyle. This movie is a drama film , release in 30 august 2008 at Telluride Film Festival. The main characters are : Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Rubina Ali. At first in this movie it's about 3 kids who have been orphans. One of them went to 'You want to be an millionaire'(a TV show) and he won the big prize. Everyone thought he cheated in one way or another and was taken by police and interviewed. He explained every question how he knew the answer : he had an unpleasant memory in childhood. The end of the movie is surprising <3 The film was filmed in Mumbai. The music was chosen by A.R. Rahman, some examples are : 'Riots', 'Mausam & Escape', 'Ringa Ringa', 'Liquid Dance' and many others. In my opinion this movie is so sad...I cried 2 times when I watched it but it was worth it. is very exciting and and I would look 100 times a day if I could. my note for 'slumdog millionaire' is 9 out of 10 because it could be shorter. I recommended this movie.

Slumdog Millionaire is a movie directed by Danny Boyle. The genre of the movie is drama, romance. The date when it was released was 25 december 2008 and the main characters were played by actors like: Dev Patel, Avil Kapoor, Freida Pinto, Irrafan Khan. The story line is pretty simple, Jamal -the main character-became a contestant on India's version of ''Who want's to be a millionare'' and wins 10 million rupees. To win the money, he had to answer some questions ,the answers were good because he had the experience from the past wich helped him out. The film was quite good, the buget for it was 15.000.000$. The actors were amazing and well prepared but the soundtrack was horrible, a plus may be the costumes wich were realistically made. In my opinion, the movie was interesting and well made but i wouldn't wach it again. Is a one time movie, once you see it ,that's it, you can't go back.

I think this was a good movie. The drama was intense and the actors were talented. Even if "indian" types of movies are not my favourite, this movie was pretty interesting. Jamal is going through a lot of sad and kind of dangerous moments as a child but he is also a lucky person when he is a 18 years old teenager. He also found the true love since he was a poor kid. The luck knocks at his door exactly when he needed the most The subject of the movie is very exciting and the actors perform the characters very well. This movie is a 7 because it is not my type of movie but that does not mean I totally did not liked it. My opinion is that the movie should be seen with friends or family because it is very hard to see alone due to certain scenes
