slumdog millionaire: life is a rollercoaster

"Slumdog Millionaire" is undoubtly the cleverest movie I've seen these years. It nearly please all citizens of the world under such a recession economic situation, exposing the dark side of a poor country under development, in the most hilarious and entertaining way.

Being wrapped up by the worldwide famous TV game show, the harsh life of the Indian kid provides answers to the nine questions that leads him to be a millionaire. If you feel in the inner heart that Danny Boyls is exploiting the dark side of the country and portrays the city in his own foreigner's eyes, the movie tells you this is only a game and the audiences don't need to be so serious. The once offbeat director sits back and tells me this bittersweet story with an extremely well written script, including all the basic elements a TV soap series can involve.

All the technical departments of this movie also deliver their best to make the poor India country looks incredibly colourful, energetic and full of surprises. The hand held camera follow the kids running their lives through the slum, with techo beat Bollywood music and dancing scenes. This is an extraordinary rollercoaster ride merging the Indian and western styles, opening a new chapter of the Arabian 1,001 nights story: your destiny brings you here through the boundaries, besides, only true love waits.

There is also the thinnest line between the reality and the happenings in the movie: the kid actors are finally leaving their poor lives being a slumdog to houses offered by the government, the crowd gather everywhere to witness the last question's answer/ the Oscar announcement. The movie also has numerous reasons to win this year's Oscar, every tiny fragment of this film speaks its own story. Though this might not be the best work of Danny Boyle or even the best motion picture of 2008, you cannot find any reason to let it down .
