Slumdog Millionaire Review

The film is a mix between a reality show "who wants to be a millionaire" quiz and Jamal's past. In this film, Jamal who is no one before was able to answer almost all questions in the quiz. He is just one question away from being a millionaire.
Then, the scene changes into Jamal's interrogation. He is suspected to cheat so he can answer the questions. But, actually Jamal can answer those questions because the question is somewhere related to his bitter past. This film is also about the relationship between Jamal, Salim and Latika. 
We can learn some lessons from Jamal’s bitter past. We can see the effect of racism in the Jamal’s clan slaughter. We can also learn that we can not judge someone just from his/her appearance. Sometimes, there are some hidden motives in a nice treatment. We also can learn something from Salim’s experience that a bad way will always end up bad, no matter how pleasing it looks like.
This film also teaches us that if we really fight for something, we will find a way to get it someday. It teaches us to not surrender to achieve our dream. There is always a possibility to be anything we want. Anyone can be success, no matter how impossible it looks like at the beginning.
This film is equipped by some nice Indian songs. The songs mixed up well with the film. It makes the film becomes more interesting to be watched. The change between Jamal’s past and present was nicely made so it is not too confusing.
But the beginning of this film is quite confusing. It needs some time to understand the plot and what is happening.  
Overall, this film is a good one and it is worth to watch.
