20 million rupees

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2009)

At today's exchange rate Jamal Malik would have won 309.856! Not bad for a country with a monthly average wage of 40.
I went to see "Slumdog Millionaire" after the Oscars so my idea was to give consent to the 8 statues it took back home and for the unanimous opinions of a great film. It was absolutely deserved. It's a non-stop action movie, full of rhythm, love, emotion, humor and suspense. For me, the best is the photography and mostly the edition (the most deserved Oscar!). All the cuts, questions from the TV contest and flashbacks are perfect and give us a clear view to understand why Jamal managed to get all the questions right.
The music, as usually in Danny Boyle's filmography, plays a very important role. "Paper Planes" from MIA was one of my favorites but the whole Soundtrack is worth given a careful look.
The movie is a fight between the importance of money and love. And in the end both win tough in different ways...
