Purely Joyful Movie!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Slumdog Millionaire3 And A Half Out Of 5Slumdog Millionaire is a plot driven dramatic feature about an aspiring kid from slum who seeks his destiny through his good-will nature "with all odds". Boyle's world in here is rugged and darker than it anticipated to be but fortunately since it ends on a higher ideal and a mellow note than any of the projected ones in the feature, it lands safe and sound.The jump-starter of the feature is of course its smart concept but often the ingenious idea fades away among multiple characters with their individual sub-plots but in here with the help an amazing editing by Dickens the spine of the feature never turns jelly. It is beautifully shot with amazing camera work and mesmerizing visuals and on the other hand it also consists some sinister ideology; especially in its first half, that is utterly inedible to encounter. It is rich on technical aspects like stunning cinematography, up beating background score and smarter costume design than one usually gets (the lead actress is often wearing a shade of yellow; a slick move). The adapted screenplay is gripping, bold and filled with electrifying sequences that shakes the audience and demands attention throughout the course of it; the run-time flows like a high current. At the end of it, it always will be Boyle's imaginative world that is brimmed with almost too much colors and yet respects each aspect of it to give enough space and range to factor in effectively. The performance is appreciative if not stellar, especially by Patel, Khan, Kapoor and Pinto. Cunning and finely detailed script, excellent execution and plethora of emotions that the thrilling ride offers are the high points of the feature. Slumdog Millionaire is actually a dulcet tone that never hurts where the makers are playing it safe but with bigger guns than ever.

Slumdog Millionaire is a romantic movie but also a drama released in 2008. It is directed by Danny Boyle. Some of the actors that played in the movie are Dev Patel, Irrfan Kahan, Tanai Chheda. Slumdog Millionare is about a boy that wins the big prise in the Tv show "Who wants to be a millionare?". He comes from a poor side of India so the host thought that he is cheating and calls the ploice. The main character Jamal Malik is very well played by the actor Dav Patel. I love the acting, all of the characters are very well played. The costums are great, the main music is A.R. Rahman. It is a great movie I loved it, a great unexpected final. It was sad, but ended happy and sad both. I recomand everybody to watch this movie.

Slumdog Millionaire is a story about a poor child from Mumbai, who became rich. He was born in this poor city and there he met his first love.This child had only his brother with him, until he betrayed him.This child became rich because he went to an intelligence show and the questions perfectly matched to his experiences from the past. I recognized some actors, like Dev Patel or Freida Pinto because i have seen some of their movies, like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" or "Chappie".My favourite character is Jamal Malik, because he never gave up. In my opinion, the movie is very good because it represents the real lifestyle of a big number of humans.Also, it represents the fact that nowadays, money can buy everything, except happiness.But, i don't really think that this movie deserves 8 Oscars, i don't know exactly the reason but that's what i think. So if you like this type of movies, you should watch it soon, because it's a really good one.

Slumdog Millionaire is a Britis drama film directed by Danny Boyle,written by Simon Beaufoy,and produced by Christian Colson. set and filmed in India,it is a loose adaption of the novel Q & A . It was released in 30 August 2008. The actors are: Dev Patel (Jamal) ,Freida Pinto (Latika) and Madhur Mittal (Salim). This film is the story of Jamal Malik,an 18 years old orphan who went to a game show were you can become a millionaire. Everyone thought he cheated one way or another and the police took him. He explained how he had so many unplesant memories from his childhood that helped him to find the answers. The ending is very unexpected. The non-linear construction that reaches backwards and forwards in time to bring its many narrative threads togheter into a coherent whole has all the excitement of a music video. I liked the movie but it wasn't as emotional as I expected. I still recommend it beacuse it made me keep my hopes high.
