Slumdog Millionaire

Many of you have probably already seen the 8 time Acadamy Award winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle and Love Leen Tan Dan. I just had a chance to see it last week and it's an incredible film. It really tells the truth about living in India and the struggles of surviving with a twist. It's a really tough life. I got so emotional while watching the film. Being a mom, you want the best things for your children and it was difficult to watch Jamal Malik, who is an orphan with no formal education and spent his younger years as a career-theif for survival. I highly reccomend this film to those who have yet to see it, it will educate you about India and their living and culture.

The story of Jamal Malik: he is an 18 year old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. He is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", but when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life and adventures on the road. Each of the chapters in his story reveal a key to the every answers on the game show. The film also has a soft touch of love story that is so gentle and sweet, it shows us that we need to be patient and faithful to love.
