Movie Review:Slumdog Millionaire.


"This is the movie for people who love to think."

Adam Frank,columnist for movie critic.

OK,this is the only movie so far I didn't watch from cinema.Instead I'm downloaded it at BitTorrent (thanks for helping me Christina!),and if you don't like to think,and to see pretty face and handsome hunk,I suggest,don't ever watch this movie.

Based on Mumbai squatters society,living in the most dense city in the world,with 18 million souls in the small,cramped island of Salsette(Mumbai is part of Salsette archipelago),it's about survival living in slums in megacity,like Mumbai.

These slums,or 'setinggan' if in Malay,is as big as Kuala Lumpur itself.Where they're became a victim of urbanization and metropolism,who inspired to be rich and famous in the city,ending up become a humiliation,living on the streets and starving.

After watching this movie,right now I admit,I became more socialist.I want those people who ripped off other people opportunity to be responsible for these massive poverty.

By the way I love the motive of this story.Your life is based on A,B,C,D objective answer.It's shows that your life is on examination that students always nervous for,something that if we marked the wrong answer,we will leaving,empty handed.

Story of Jamal Malik and Latika is another story of love between race,class and religion.Why people loving each other because of race?Or class?Or religion?Why divide if we can love each other?

Somehow if destiny on your path,it will be written.Fortune always hiding,but you have to find it.Somewhere or somehow,when you'll find it out,you'll be happy.And meantime,there's millions of people in the dark,in the slums of Bombay or Manila,or Kuala Lumpur,waiting for fortune to find them.

Slumdog Millionaire also bringing child slave in naked truth.Street childrens been used by street gangsters to be rich.Children been bullied,been forced to suffer,and adults using their superiority to bully them.

Somehow,this story is not about to be rich in a gameshow,but the naked truth about our hideous poverty in our society.

The best movie came when the movie itself reflects and speaks to the truth.
