Such a feel good, awesome movie about reality in India.

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2009)

I have seen this movie 3 times, and just cannot get enough!!
Slumdog Millionaire is definitely one of the best movies I have seen in a while. I don't watch many Bollywood movies, because I have trouble with the fact that most are copies of American movies which my husband and I mostly watch, and mostly they are very unrealistic.
This movie, however, is an honest movie about what the reality is in India. This stuff really happens. People in India are not too thrilled of the portrayal of the reality, because it shows the negative aspects of that Country. However, you cannot go to India, and escape that reality! There is severe poverty everywhere. It just breaks your heart. 1/3 of the world's poor are from India.
This movie is just such an awesome story about survival, hope, courage and triumph of the human spirit. It just mesmerizes you from start to finish. Definitely a must see !!!
Us Indians are really excited about the Oscar prospects for this movie...
