This is an inspiring film.

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2008)

A young man, who grew up in a slum, is on one of those television shows where you answer questions to win a lot of money. After each win he has the option of quitting with what he has one or passing the money up for an opportunity to win more. He is a phenomenal success, although he does not seem to care whether he wins or loses.
Through flashbacks the viewer learns about his growing up in a slum and of the suffering and degradation entailed in that. Some really terrible things happen to the characters in this tale.
There is a love story. This movie has characters you come to care about. It is not like the soulless, puking garbage Hollywood keeps shoveling at us. It is a work of art. See it if you get the opportunity.
