I was watching the Slumdog Millionaire DVD that I rented from Prime Tyme. Prime Tyme is a Video rental store in Plainsboro ,New Jersey. It is going out of business , so I ask my blog viewers to go to Prime Tyme and rent some DVDs to help their business.It closes in May 30, 2009. Help their business. The owner is very friendly and cares about his customers.Slumdog millionaire is a very dramatic film. It shows the reality of life. It shows how fortunate Americans are.
Slumdog millionaire is about a boy who's from the slums of Mumbai and got on the show, Who wants to be a millionaire.His name is Jamal. Jamal won 10,000,000 rupees and have 10,000,000 left to go to be the first millionaire from the slums of India. The host called the cops and arrested him for cheating. At the police office, he explains every little detail on how he knew the answers. All the answers goes back to when he was a little boy. He starts the story of his childhood with him being in a outhouse. His brother was screaming get out the helicopter is here. Then he placed a chair to lock him in. Then Jamal jumped into the outhouse toilet. He had always wanted to get the actors autograph. When the actor signed his paper, Jamal was covered in disgusting things.
He explained that living in the slums were hard because the police chased you and there would be raids and thefts in the slums. There were schools , but the raids were scary,. Jamal lost his mother in one of the slums.
The majority of the movie was a flashback. The movie was slowly progressing towards the present. He found his dream girl, Lathia. He won 1, 000,000 dollars or 20,000,000 rupees. He saw an excellent life ahead of him. His brother was killed by the gang , but his brother killed the gang leader.
The end of the movie was a Bollywood style ending. There was dancing, music , and Hindi songs.
The movie ended very uniquely. American movies do not end in a song or a dance. Our movies end in a very western style. Usually our movies end with the good guy defeating the bad guy or a person gets married.
This movie was creative and showed the reality of India. It showed that India is not very friendly and there are lots of poor people around. There were beatings and scams happening. As you watch this film, try to think about how Jamal and his brother was feeling.
