"Slumdog Millionaire" Is One Of The Best Movies That I've Seen!

This video has a review of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire". It's one of the greatest pictures that I have seen in awhile. It takes place in Mumbai & showcases the poverty-stricken hard life of a child of the slums.There's romance,violence,& intrigue in this movie.As soon as I started watching it,I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.This movie is so poignant that a charity is using it to draw attention to the plight of the real "slumdogs". Here's more on that from the Telegraph:

"Slumdog Millionaire's success is being used by charity Save the Children is being used to highlight the true misery of living in the slums of Mumbai.Children living in India's slums have little chance of going from rags to riches, unlike the star of hit film directed by Danny Boyle.

The charity is keen to highlight the difference between the real children in India's slums and Jamal Malik, played by Dev Patel, who grows up as a "slumdog" in Mumbai but goes on to win Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Shireen Vakil Miller, Save the Children India's head of policy, said that the chance to go to school would be the equivalent of hitting the jackpot for these children.

She said: "Mumbai is a city of dreams where people think the streets are paved with gold. But many families who migrate there become trapped by poverty.

"In slums across India families live, sleep and eat in tiny shacks, working 24/7 in the desperate hope that they will be able to scrape together enough money to eat that night.

"One in four children is born into poverty in the country. For them hitting the jackpot simply means being able to go to school and get an education so that they can fight their way out of it."

More than 120 million children live in poverty across India, around twice the population of the UK."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:
