see it ASAP

This is probably one the best films of '08 along with "The Dark Knight". I went to see this movie to see what all the commotion was with it being nominated for almost everything. Well, for once the critics were right and it was an inspiring epic. I knew that the nation of India knew a lot about making movies, since they view more movies than anyone in the world, but man alive this is a masterpiece. One person that I sympathize with a little is the main character. He is the underdog. He lived in some of the worst conditions ever known to man as a young child. That is where the term "slumdog" comes in. The host of the show, that he has so luckily landed on,keeps reminding him of that. Every question that he is asked he reminds himself of how he knows it or how he got a hold of that information concerning the question. Every time he does that he almost always thinks of his long lost love, Latika. Poor Jamal(main character).You will love what happens. Did it deserve 8 Oscars. You bet. Hurry to see it before it comes out on DVD. I am sure it is better in theater. It is a great film.
