slumdog millionaire


this film is glorious. absolutely fantastic.

a young indian boy makes it all the way to the final question on india's 'who wants a millionaire,' on the brink of winning 20,000,000 rps. the film follows his progression to the final question with accompanying flashbacks to his childhood memories, in which the answers lie. whilst he is actually drawing on knowledge from his intense childhood to answer the questions, the producers of the show feel he is cheating to scam himself the money.

the cinematography and photography is outstanding and the use of child actors from real mumbai slums adds to the overall authenticity. extremely well made.

go and see this right now.
