who wants to be a 20 millionaire?
In rupees that is. Well you've guessed it, i am going to write abt slumdog millionaire.

Before i watched it many people said its a really inspiring movie. I completely agree with that proposition but after some thoughts i realised that i haven really learnt any lesson from it. Alright, before i go into the details, please do go and watch it if u havent. I would easily rate it as one of the best pictures this year (or maybe since its only feb now, i would say it is one of the best between 2008 to 2009)

Slumdog millionaire is about a boy named jamal and his participation in the game who wants to be a millionaire india version. He was never properly educated but answered many of the questions correctly, because all the questions relate to his life experience. The movie's theme transit smoothly from that pertaining to chance and coincidence to the hope of the lower caste in a developing country. I dunno if it is an accurate portrait of india but the contrast between the rich and the poor (or the dark and the light if u have read the white tiger) was really glaring. It is a very smart but dark movie. Thanks to bollywood, theres also a much awaited dance sequence at the credits roll, less the tree sadly.

the only lesson that comes across to me is that, maybe there is really such thing as destiny ( no matter how it never seems to related to anything that will happen in the future.)

oh and of course, there are some questions left unanswered in the show, which may frustrate you or make you think a little.
