Finally finished watching "Slumdog Millionaire" yesterday. Wasn't as fantastic as I thought, but it was a good movie. Would definitely recommend it. Well, there are a few parts that I liked about the movie though. It reflects a lot of real situations in India, and would definitely raise a lot of awareness, not only to the western countries, but reflections to our own self. At Jamal's age, I was playing my Lego set, while he's holding the toilet to earn money. Also liked the kids in the movie. According the press, they are actual slums, but guess they really enjoyed the movie making. Like to look at their smile, very pure, natural. 2 parts really touched me. First is the part when Jamal gave money to Arvind (the blind kid), don't ask me why. Second is the part when Jamal is answering the last question. It really excited me, just like how we are watching an actual game. I guess one of the reasons that the movie won so many awards is because it really reflects some of the actual situations that people doesn't know about. Hhhmm... if someone were to make a movie about Malaysia's politics and politicians, I guess it would win even more awards :) The funniest part is definitely the ending. I thought that would be the first Indian movie that doesn't involve dancing... but still... Hahaha, I still enjoyed the dance though
