WOAW, is all I want to say. I think Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best films of the year. The film is an explosion of color and light. The landscapes are amazing and spectacular. The plot is flawless, perfect. Slumdog Millionaire shows the true sides of India: poverty, murders, rapes, torture, children abuse,... The film opens with an eye-opener scene: the main character, Jamal Al Malik, is tortured by the police because they suspects him of cheating in "who wants to be a millionaire ?". Slumdog Millionaire, by Danny Boyle, is based on a series of flashbacks. We can see in the film a series of flashbacks which show how Jamal can answer all the questions. The last question speaks about the three Musketeers and in the film the three Musketeers are Jamal, Salim and Latika, the main characters. The film is a masterpiece. The film closes with a Bollywood musical number.
