A story of poverty, violence an love

Director Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "Sunshine", "28 Days Later") commands a vast team of unknown actors into international stardom in this amazing story of love, violence and poverty. The story occurs in India, as we know, one the poorest countries in the world, so what we watch in the film is kind of a "City of God" and "Rocky" mixed up as we see two young brothers that fight to get out the slum they live in. I guess the great achievement in the film is how the story is told and how that story is connected to the show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".

The main character of the plot is Jamal Malik who as a young boy had to learn how to survive in the slums of Mumbai. During his childhood, he meets Latika, a friendship that tunrs into love, except for the fact that they have gone in their separate ways. In a attempt to find her, he enters the show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" hoping that she is watching.
A true masterpiece, Slumdog Millionaire is another great film from Danny Boyle and a love story that overcomes poverty.
