Slumdog Millionaire - Money's Not Really The Problem

(2008) ★★★★★

I didn't watch it in cinema, but I regret it now. I should have indeed. For quite a while, I haven't seen a film that can leave tears in my eyes, and a smile upon my face. And this is the one. Thanks to the academy awards, I finally made up my mind and gave it a go, since I really have no time to waste on trash or junk or things like that. And let me tell you this, it's definitely worth 2 hours' time of your life. It'll make you ruminate over things like friendship, love, tension between traditions and modernization, dreams and reality, how things should be and how things are, etc. In this world of madness and violence, is it really okay to keep up with the show-me-the-money attitude?

Jamal could just up and leave with half a million, which is quite a lot really to a "dog" from a slum like him, but he chose to continue to challenge the one-million question. (Why? He got nothing to lose at the time. Why so? You'd better find out for yourself.) When the final question was revealed, he had no idea what the correct answer was. He dialed the only number he'd got, and asked for help. He didn't really expect anyone would answer his call as a matter of fact, but the truth is, when his call was answered, he knew he'd already got what he wanted, no matter if he would be the slumdog millionaire or not!
