Slumdog Millinoaire

This film is sometimes hard to watch because of the abject poverty and abuse heaped upon many of the characters. However, the film is well directed and beautifully acted with the actors playing their parts in an understated way. Dev Patel is convincing as a quiet, even suppressed, contestant of “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” from the slums of Mumbai. Arrested for suspicion of cheating when he gets to the final question, he recounts each life experience to the chief of police explaining how he knew the answers to each question. In essence, a love story between the male lead, Jamal, and the girl he’s known since childhood, it is a remarkable story of commitment and perseverance in the face of almost insurmountable odds. Excellent film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
