Okay...we went to see Slumdog yesterday. IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!! GO SEE IT! I would for sure recommend. I really appreciate as a writer the manner in which the story is told. The character's life story is revealed through the way he knows the answers to the questions asked of him in the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire show. It is a gritty fairy tale. The beginning of the movie, I will warn you, is hard to view as we get a realistic life of children in the Mumbai slums. This is a must see, as it's inspirational message of a young man who uses his circumstance to persevere and succeed. The music is great, too! So I give it an A+! It is my hope that it enlightens the American audience to the dichotomies present in India...of rich and poor, of corporate involvement in India as good and bad. It is not a story of India but certainly highlights some of the many problems there for an audience of americans who may or may not be aware of life there.
