ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

pisinegru The movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is based on Vikas Swarup's novel, "Q&A". The movie is about an Indian boy born and raised in the slums of the city of Mumbay, named Jamal Malik. He becomes a contestant on the Indian version of the game " Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" because he thinks that if he'll appear in this popular show his childhood love, Latika, might see him and they'll reunite. Every question from the contest is based on his life experiences and this will bring him the big prize, 20 million rupees, but he was arrested before the last question because he was accused of cheating. The movie was a little bit boring, but I liked the story, because it was interesting. After all this time he was able to find his childhood love. I recommend this movie if you like drama and romance and if you are patient.
cungureanu-95154 It's a good movie but it's not the best. The first half of the film reminded me of "City Of God" about homeless kids in Brasil,but that film had far more violents kids. The story will be fun for those who used to be hooked on the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" quiz show. Almost all of the story is told in flashbacks. It's one of those stories where all the little pieces fit together in the end to explain why things happened in the start of the film.
georgiantica Slumdog Millionaire is a story about a poor child from Mumbai, who became rich. He was born in this poor city and there he met his first love.This child had only his brother with him, until he betrayed him.This child became rich because he went to an intelligence show and the questions perfectly matched to his experiences from the past. I recognized some actors, like Dev Patel or Freida Pinto because i have seen some of their movies, like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" or "Chappie".My favourite character is Jamal Malik, because he never gave up. In my opinion, the movie is very good because it represents the real lifestyle of a big number of humans.Also, it represents the fact that nowadays, money can buy everything, except happiness.But, i don't really think that this movie deserves 8 Oscars, i don't know exactly the reason but that's what i think. So if you like this type of movies, you should watch it soon, because it's a really good one.
