SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

See This Movie

Not only is this film stunningly beautiful but it features a new track by M.I.A.

The film centers around two brothers, one bad, one good.  The good one gains a spot as a contestant on India's version of How Wants To Be A Millionaire, in which he wins the grand prize and is then accused of cheating.  Through defending himself and revealing how he new the answers to each question, a heart-breaking tale of the triumph of the human spirit, love and loss unfolds.  Directed by Danny Boyle, this film captures a side of Mumbai that the majority of people in the west didn't know existed.  Very reminiscent of the slums seen in City Of God.  

I suggest seeing this in theatre as I don't think the small screen will do the film justice.  Boyle adopts Bollywood for the North American masses and does so with his use of vibrant colour, Bollywood-esque storyline and even inserts a great dance scene into the closing credits.  Highly recommended.
