Wealthycat Billionaire :-)

Movies these days are simply not that interesting. Plus, I did not have that much free time to roam around recently.

My friend who happens to be an actress recommended me to watch this film called "Slumdog Millionaire." It won four Golden Globe Awards, including Best Drama Film, and five Critic's Choice Awards., and nominated for ten Academy Awards. I did not even know its exsitence until she recommended this film.

I think the concept is very new to some people, but if you are a "Lost" fanatic like me, this film has similar structure and feeling to that. I personally liked it a lot. It's well done. Complexity of life is well drawn. Most of the time, life is miserable in so many ways, but there's one hope you look forward to the end.

Slumdog Millionaire opens with a police inspector in Mumbai, India, interrogating and torturing Jamal Malik, a former street child from the slums. Jamal is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Jamal has made it to the final question, but the police are now accusing him of cheating. Jamal then begins to offer an explanation of how he knew the answers which is conveyed as a series of flashbacks documenting the particulars of his childhood.
