An amazing cinematic experience

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2008)

This film is about a lowly man from a slum, who performs unexpectedly well in a quiz show that will make him a millionaire.
"Slumdog Millionaire" has to be the most captivating and breathtaking film for a while. The visuals are perfectly done, making the film stylised and uplifting; yet preserving the dismal nature of slums and the horrific experiences of Jamal. The flashbacks are the most gripping, it bares Jamal's tortuous past, exposing his emotional wounds that still has not heal. Since the characters is developed well, I care about Jamal and Latika deeply, and I greatly sympathise with their tragic past. Jamal knows a lot, only because he lived life like no one else, and he learnt everything the hard way.
Along with the uplifting music, colourful visuals and the promise of hope, "Slumdog Millionaire" is an amazing cinematic experience.
