5.0 out of 5 stars
Pay attention to every detail in this movie, September 30, 2009
One of the most original movies that I've seen in a long time. This is not your typical "Hollywood" movie. You will not be able to figure out who the bad or good guy is, or figure out what will happen in the end (only if you've already been told.)
Please watch this movie "WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS". Every second of the story line is "linked" and even if you do not realize it, you will see that everything & everyone is connected & everything will reveal itself to you even after the movie has ended (it has a lasting effect).
You will live through the life of the main character & also many of the supporting characters. You will have happy, mad & sad feelings for all of them.
In the end, you will be suprised (you decide positively or negatively) but you will not have wasted your time viewing this.
Two Thumbs All the way up :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Stunning!, April 11, 2011
This movie wakes you up and makes you pay attention right from the start. We are made to feel overwhelmed by the abject poverty of Mumbai where two small orphaned brothers, Jamal and Salim, are forced to survive on the streets. The cinematography is stunning; taken from the trash heaps on the edge of Mumbai to Taj Mahal is breathtaking.
Their lives are forever altered on that rainy night when another orphan, a girl named Latika, begrudgingly by Salim and compassionately by Jamal, is invited to sleep in their irrigation pipe.
This is the story of two brothers and how becoming orphans and living in abject poverty shapes them; Salim becomes hardened and covetous, Jamal remains loving and generous.
The story is of losing and finding each other throughout their lives. In a bold effort to be seen and find Latika, Jamal gets on the television show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."

Review for Slumdog Millionair, March 29, 2010
It was a really good movie. Now I know why it won so many Oscard rewards. The DVD was cheap and good. I loved it!
