Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2009)

ATTENTION: SPOILER...somewhere =.= Maybe it's a bit too late to watch this movie because I've just watched it yesterday. My aunt took me to the cinema and let me choose the movie. I chose Star Trek but she didn't agree and said that she'd watched it enough since 1966. And I explained to her that this is the best version of this series but...no. And I still had to watch Slumdog Millionaire. I'd heard it's a good movie but just see...u come to the biggest cinema in your country (Viet Nam to me) to watch a drama? I'd rather stayed home but she bought the ticket. "All right, see what u want,Yes, I'm a 14-year-old boy so I have to do what u say, OK..."-I thought. And just in 5 minutes I was attracted to the movie. "It's quite good"- I thought. A nice place, good music, good camera's angle etc. With a huge bag of popcorn (it's really a huge bag), I started to eat and enjoy the movie in front of the big screen. "Well, It's worth the price of the ticket..."-I thought when the chase between the bad guys and the kids begin. But when I see the kids stealing the shoes, trainers of the guests in Taj Mahah , I thought: "Oh dear! I'll never come to this place!" But it's fun. The most important thing that make the movie exciting is the way it tells the story. Jamal flashed back his life and I could see how he answered all the questions. But I can't believe that everything is so easy, come on, it's just luck. He's a lucky boy but he didn't intend to win 20.000 rupies at first, he just wanted to find his lost love with a little hope that she would see him on TV. But he did it more...I wouldn't say more about the plot, u can go and watch it yourself. Last but not least, If u want to visit India, watch this movie first and be more careful. No offense to Indians but u know, the movie talks about the dark side of a sociality, also love and hope of the people who want to escape from that side...
