Slumdog Millionaire

Today, I went and saw this movie, which just won best picture at the Oscars. I had wanted to see it for awhile and went finally. It is an amazing movie. It is about one man's quest, Jamal to find his true love, Latika by going on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" in India. As he cannot find her, he decides that she can find him as everyone watches this show in India. He is referred to as a "slumdog" because he grew up in the slums of Bombay. Jamal and his older brother Salim were orphaned as children and did many things to survive. During their childhood, Jamal took in Latika. He fell in love with her and her with him. However, many things happened that kept them apart. This was just a great movie as it shows that Jamal was willing to do anything to be with Latika. Anything. It is a great story. If you decide to see it, stay for the credits. They are great. Lets just say some bollywood was incorporated after the movie ended. Also, I know the movie is Rated-R, but there is no cursing or nudity. It is bloody. You will love it though. Do not pass up the oppurtunity to see this movie.
