A testament to the indomitable human spirit

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2008)

I had heard about this movie from watching a preview off of one of my my recent rentals..sadly that title is slipping from my memory. I was fortunate however to attend a free preview of Slumdog last night.
I will say that the movie touched me in ways other movies haven't. While watching the movie and Jamal's progression through life I kept thinking how many American's are still clueless to the struggles that go on in the rest of the world.
Of course being that I'm a newlywed Jamal's love for Lakita and his perseverance throughout the movie is what touched me the most. It was amazing to realize that he would always look for her regardless of how my obstacles were put in his way.
Technically I found the film wonderful as well. There were a couple of wonderful transitions visually. The music was spot on and fit the film as well. As for the dance number at the end I thought it was a nice touch and upbeat considering everything that Jamal had gone through to get to his final destination.
I would recommend this film to anyone that has ever been in love or that would like to be reminding of what true love can be.
Enjoy!
