Slumdog Millionaire (2008) - It is Written! Jai Ho!

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2011)

Director Danny Boyle brings Vikus Swarup's novel, "Q&A", to the big screen, with "Slumdog Millionaire". Dev Patel portrays Jamal Malik, who is one question away from winning $20,000,000 (rupees) on the India version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", and he's afraid of risking away everything, including his love life. I felt that "Slumdog Millionaire" is a fast-paced movie, and it brought tons of entertaining attention. With a brilliant directing duty by Danny Boyle, a wonderful script by Simon Beaufoy, and an all-star cast including Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, "Slumdog Millionaire" delivers a mother-load of entertainment in many ways. The film also provides excellent cinematography, exhilarating film editing, breathtaking music, and lots of India's greatest sights. I loved how the movie goes back and forth, with the main character's flashbacks, which helps him get each answer right on the game show. The finale blends perfectly with a couple of heart and soul. This flick is a determined picture of love, hope, and destiny. It makes you feel good inside, and it makes you wanting for more.
Here's a question: Why do you think I enjoy "Slumdog Millionaire" so much? A) Because it's dazzling. B) Because it's different. C) Because it's special. D) Because it's written.
You decide!
"Slumdog Millionaire", in my review, "a breathtaking 'feel-good' movie, with an amazing heart".
