This past weekend I went and saw the movie and it was no surprise as to why this move was such a hit. For those of you who have not seen the movie I won't spoil it. However, the plot of this story was well written. It is about a boy, who is considered a slumdog, wins a million dollars on who wants to be a millionaire.
The way this story is portrayed is one of the things that makes the movie so interesting. It goes through each of Jamal's questions and shows a flashback as to how he came up with the answer he did. The whole time it shows you these flashback you realize Jamal is being tortured because it is assumed he cheated. They say no one, especially a slumdog, should know all those answers.
The music in the movie was excellent. The song Jai Ho was written by A.R. Rahman and Sampooran Singh Gulzar won an Oscar. The movie also had another song O Saya nominated for an Oscar. These songs combined with the other bollywood songs made helped to make the an excellent movie.
