Slumdog Millionaire

I watched this movie last night and it is without a doubt now in my Top 5 movies ive ever watched.
Its the story of Jamal who is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Thats all im saying about the plot, which you could have gotten from the image on the left.

This movie's budget was 15 million dollars. Which by Hollywood standards is dirt cheap. To date its revenue is over 300 million. The way this movie is filmed is top notch, interesting camera angles, good steady cam work, just overall outstanding filming. The acting by the relatively unknown actors in this film is also outstanding. The child actors put 99.99% of child actors, and adult actors to shame. As a very emotional movie these youngsters did fantastic.

I personally loved the soundtrack to this movie. I felt all the songs fit into each scene that was going on. The ability for a low budget film to find music that will aid in the showing of emotions is a hard thing to do without sounding like every other movie.

Onto the awards. Won 8 Oscars. Another 76 wins and 28 nominations. As a comparison to how amazing this is for a low budget film I will use Titanic as a reference. Titanic cost approximately 200 million to make and Won 11 Oscars. Another 76 wins and 48 nominations.

Why you should see this movie?
Because there is no reason not to. This movie is the total package: Acting, Plot, Cinematography, and Music. If you don't see this movie chances are I will stop talking to you.
