Movie Response to  Slumdog  Millionaire

     The movie-Slumdog Millionaire is set in a slum in India. It tells a story how our hero- Jamal Malik, a boy born in the slum struggling hard to survive and realize his dream of a happy life.

     It has a very interesting start with a question: Jamal Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it? A: He cheated. B: He’s lucky. C: He’s a genius. D: It is written. You may be confused about the question. Don’t worry. You’ll find out the answer soon.

     The story is told in the order of Jamal’s memory. That is to say, it’s random, converting among three scenes: his childhood, his being inquisited and  the stage of the show-Who wants to be a millionaire. He was asked how he could get the right answer as an uneducated slumdog, he recalled back his life with his fellows running over the tracks and getting rid of hounding by the underworld when answering the questions.  By this way, it describes a boy who would never give up. He and his brother, together with Latica were just like three musketeers. However, his brother –Salim chose the wrong way to protect him. Salim sold Latica to the boss of an underworld for his and his younger brothers’ safety. At the end of the story, Salim realized that he had done wrong and sacrificed himself to rescue Latica. Dramatically, at the same time, Jamal was asked whether he knows the name of the third musketeers in Alexander Duma’s book, “ The Three Musketeers”, apart from Athos and Porthos.  With luck,  Jamal chose the right answer and got 20 million rupee bonus. What’s more important to him was that he found Latica. The movie get a happy ending.

   I was deeply touched by Jamal’s perseverance. It’s really a wonderful movie. If you have time, you may want to enjoy it. J
