This week I went with David to see "Slumdog Millionaire" at the cinema. The film was recommended to us by friends who thought it was great and they were right. If you haven't seen the movie yet I would recommended it to you.
This is the story of a penniless, eighteen-year old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, Jamal Malik, is one question away from winning the staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, suddenly he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal's incredible past.
The acting was great and the story not what you expect. On reflection of what I saw it was an awakening of how life can be in a different country and culture. I was also very grateful for the life I have and so lucky to live in this wonderful country. It puts some peoples complaints and worries in perspective.
Good Luck at the Oscars.........
