Slumdog Millionaire

After all the good review and awards for this movie, I decided to ask some of my friends to watch this movie. Some of my friends felt hesitant to watch this movie, and they are the type that only want to watch action, drama comedy, and all the easy to understand movies, which I equally enjoy too.

With some level of expectation but doubt the story line about Indian teen that wins the Indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire", but later is arrested under suspicion of cheating, which during investigation, the puzzle of his live is revealed piece by piece, I am overall satisfied with the whole movie. The direction and picture, about poor and booming indian,is superb, with some scenes that are felt very realistic, provocative, and surprising to people that live in advanced country, like the raid of Muslims population and the beggar "dirty business". The whole movie still follows Hollywood style movie, and half of the movie is delivered in English, although they try to follow indian accent, but it just felt not realistic. Although the romance involved seems like too imaginative, but it actually try to follow some bollywood way of movie, which does not omit the mass-dance-bollywood-style at the end of the movie.

Whether it will win or not in the academy award, I think this movie deserves all the praise and award. 4.5 of 5.

I never really celebrate Valentine Day, and this year is no exceptional. I always ask myself if I can find people that I can truly love and treasure the most. Haha, anyway, wish you all a lovely Valentine Day. :)
