A movie worth watching!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2018)

''Slumdog Millionaire'' is a Film4 movie which was released in 2008 and is based on a novel, ''Q&A'', by Vikas Swarup.
This drama tells the story of Jamal Malik, a young 18-year-old orphan boy from Mumbai, who is about to experience the most significant day of his life. With the audience of the whole nation, he is one question away from winning a thrilling 20-million rupees on India's ''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?''. Unfortunately, when the television show breaks for the night, the police arrest him on suspicion of cheating: ''How could a homeless child know this much?!'' Desperate to prove his innocence, the boy tells the story of his life in the suburbs where he and his brother, Salim, grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with the local gangs...and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his life reveals the answer to one of the game's show question. Intrigued by Jamal's story, the police begins to wonder what a young man with no desire for riches is doing on this show? When the new day comes, Jamal returns to answer the final question, the police and the other 60-million viewers are about to find out.
It also shouldn't be forget that this movie won 8 Oscars in a row, 144 other awards and was nominated 126 times, thanks to its cast consisting of famous actors such as Dev Patel (Jamal Malik), Freida Pinto (Latika), Madhur Mittal (Salim K. Malik) and Ankur Vikal (Maman) and its contrasting soundtrack ''Jai Ho'' by A.R. Rahman.
All in all, what I can say about this film is that it is especially made to open your eyes in front of the life you have to live. It represents both the good and bad parts of what a normal person can face with, so I really recommend it to those who want to be prepared for what is coming.
