Slumdog Millionaire is a very good movie...It's a full two hours long, but I never thought about looking at my watch until really towards the very end. I love movies that show a good historical reference of other ways of life and this one really shows how tough it must have been growing up in the slums of India, probably only as far back as the 1980's. A few scenes are tough to watch but it really drills home the reality of the corruption that goes on. A brilliant way to tell a story through the answers of a popular television game show. The story is told as we learn how Jamal came about to know all of the answers during the game show clear up to the million dollar questions. A very good watch that gives you solid acting, character development, and a bit of history of growing up in the slums of India.
