So I spent my Saturday night watching Slumdog Millionaire. It is good. The beginning was a little much for me, however the ending made up for it. Over the past few months, many people raved about the movie, and tonight I finally had the opportunity to watch it. The Pussycat Doll's rendition of the theme song is catchy and I first youtubed it before I even had any desire to see the movie. Over the past couple of weeks, I had read about the child stars of the film and how they were still poverty-stricken even after all the success and just recently their homes were bulldozed down. However, I am happy to find out that the director of the movie helped financed purchases for apartments for these talented youngsters.
What I liked most about the movie was the colors, music and Jamal's unrelenting, strong spirit. It is inspirational. Also, the children at the beginning of the film were so adorable, their looks should be illegal. Frieda Pinto the lead actress is beautiful and was is very talented. I noticed in the credits that the movie was based off of a book, I wonder what the book is like or what book is the basis for the movie. Does anyone know? I enjoyed the movie a lot because it is such an inspiration and it is a realistic story line. Against all odds, Jamal found his true love and he became rich, very different from the childhood he had.
The movie is up for 6 MTV movie awards. So let's keep our fingers crossed.
