Slumdog Millionare

A movie that I will always remember maybe more because of my story around the movie than the movie itself, is Slumdog Millionare. It's a 2008 indian and british co-production movie, directed by Danny Boyle who won like 11 academy awards (oscars) including of course "Best Movie", music, and others I don't remember at the moment but the funny thing about this movie is that.. I usually watch the academy awards ceremony every year and most of the time I have seen the movies that are nominated for each category (of course it's summer vacations so I have a lot of time to do this) so I can have an opinion on wich movie should win each category, but in 2009 even though this movie was nominated for a lot of awards I hadn't seen it before the award ceremony, so in every category that this movie was nominated I ruled against it, and naturally Slamdog Millionare won every category so I was rally mad by the end of the ceremony.

Finally I decided that i should just watch the movie (I don't remember the exact date but it was someday in march), so I invited my mom to the cinema to watch it with me and big surprise... I loved it. It's about htis little poor indian guy who gets an opportunity on the indian "Who wants to be a millionare" show and he gets to answer the questions correctly thanks to flashbacks of his poor sad life as a poor indian child, but the real reason of why he entered the contest in the first place, it was to gen on TV so his lost love "Latika" could watch him. I'm not going to spoil the end of the movie for those who haven't seen it yet,  but I can guarantee it's really great, has a nice photography direction and it's a really good story, and the entire movie is set on the modern days India so you can really get a sight of how is it like to live there.

After watching that movie I became kind of a fan of Danny Boyle's films, actually another movie he directed, 127 Hours, it's one of my favorites as well. So I invite to those of you who haven't seen Slumdog Millioner or 127 Hours to enjoy them.
