Here's a quick review of a movie I chose to watch over the weekend - Slumdog Milionaire. It was one of the red carpet stunners at recent Oscar Award ceremony, sweeping 8 out of 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Song. This 2008 British drama film is an adaptation of a novel Q & A by Indian author Vikas Swarup. 
When I learned about this movie - my first thought was "Huh? Lousy millionaire by chance? Must be a comedy." Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The picture of young Jamal squatting inside the loo. He is so adorable.
Poverty is a disease. Religious and political conflicts make it even worse.
The brothers eke out a living, traveling on top of trains, selling goods, pretending to be tour guides at the Taj Mahal, and picking pockets.
Jamal and his long lost childhood sweetheart, Latika.
*That's all; I'm too tired to tell the details. Sorry for short review. Not in my shape lately. :) Nat~
