Slumdog Millionaire

Who wants to be a Millionaire?

How did Jamal know all the answers to the questions on the game show? Was it luck? Is he just that smart? Did he cheat? Or was it his fate? Slumdog Millionaire is the tale of Jamal Malik's life as a child of the slums, and how his fate shaped his future. Winning an Oscar for best picture in 2009 – this is one of the best movies and stories of our time.

The story begins with Jamal, now a young adult, being tortured and asked how he cheated on the game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? He tells the officers over and over again, he just honestly knew the answers. They do not believe him – they know he is from the slums and is therefore uneducated, so he could not possibly know the answers to many of the questions.

But honest Jamal did not cheat... and the questions that were laid out for him on the game show just happen to be trivia quizzing him on random facts that he learned at the most pivotal of moments in his life. It is not luck, or cheating – it is fate.

Jamal then sits down with the main officer and walks him through the moments he has endured in his life, and where he learned the answers to the questions. Jamal now carries the audience through the most memorable moments in his life, and the audience is thrilled, chilled, and touched by where Jamal has been, what he has had to endure, and the person he has become.

Losing both of his parents, him and his brother were left orphans at a very young age. They took a fellow orphan girl – Latika – under their wing in their life of poverty and leaned on each other for support in the toughest of times. They referred to themselves as the three musketeers.

At an older age, Jamal's older brother fell into the dangerous protection of a gang, and took Latika along with him. Jamal was left alone. Jamal has been in love with Latika his whole life, and all he wants is a life with her – but he cannot get to her.

And now here he is, on a game show that he knows Latika watches – he doesn't care about the money, he doesn't care about the fame, all he cares for is that Latika is watching, and maybe he will find her.

This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever seen in my life. Not only is this movie a touching love story, it is a movie of destiny and character shaping. Jamal is the unlikely hero – and every audience member will love and admire his character. It is dusted with light humor, but is also as much a dark tale as it is warming.

This movie was truly deserving of Best Picture, and it is complete with the most unbelievable casts I have ever seen. Every actor is beyond believable – you will LOVE Slumdog Millionaire. Be sure to watch the Bollywood routine at the end of the movie to the famous song – Jai Ho.
