Everyone involved in this production should be very proud...

I just watched this yesterday with a friend and we were both baffled with just how amazing it was. This is one of those rare movies that inspires you. It follows the life of Jamal, his brother Salim and Jamal's true love Latika. All of these characters have suffered in their childhood and the movie shows how their troubles extend into their adult lives. It is a movie about survival, of love, of family and of fate. I thought the setting in India was very appropriate and moving- a lot of these issues are reality for many people- and I applaud Danny Boyle for bringing light to them. Slumdog Millionaire shows us how goodness can triumph and, at the expense of sounding clichéd, gives hope. Go see it, it will make you feel a mixture of sadness and happiness and you will not be bored for a second.
