One of the best films of 2008.

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2009)

I loved the best picture winner Slumdog millionaire. I mean, it wasn't my favorite film of 2008, but it was one of them. The film is was, uplifting, romantic, and many other things. It really was a great film. I think it may be a bit overrated, but really not that much. Slumdog millionaire has a unique way of story telling and it's a unique film all together.
Young star Dev Patel stars as Jamal, a young man who had a troubled life in the Slums of Mumbai. The film focuses about him and his brother Salim, and Jamal's friend and love Natika(Freida Pinto). Jamal is on Who wants to be a millionaire. When he is accused of cheating, they interrogate him into telling them how he knew the answers. He knows all of the answers because a lot of them happened or something that reminds him of something from his past.
Slumdog millionaire is a great film. I see why it won best picture, because of all of the nominated films of 2008, I think it was one of the better ones. I didn't like it as much as The Dark Knight or Doubt, but I liked it more than the overrated Benjamin Button and I liked it more than The Reader, which was another great film. It was a good film season in 2008, and Slumdog millionaire was one of the best.
