An excellent celebration of life, destiny, and the power of love

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2008)

Walking out of this movie will be the worst part of the experience because you won't want to leave the amazing world of Slumdog Millionaire. Danny Boyle has created a portrait of humanity not seen in a long time. This epic rags to riches story is a testament to the power of love and the truth. With breathtaking cinematography, stupendous acting, and an amazing screenplay from Simon Beaufoy, we are dropped into the mind of Jamal Malik, a young man from Mumbai. Through his eyes we see the pain of poor orphans, tricks played on various tourists, and the how organized crime has evolved in India's maturing society. Not to mention that Boyle and Beaufoy have given us a love story unparalleled. Despite much of the movie being in a foreign language, Slumdog Millionaire's story can be understood and appreciated by all, it is the first true global masterpiece.
