    Hello maribel , I´ll explain you my opinions or thoughts about the film.
    I like so much the beginning and end of the film ,the way that the start´s question covers completely the film .
    Another point is that in the film there are some many shocking scenes and I think that there are to much,from my point of view of course.
    Also I know that this is the frightful reality.
    But, if I had to chose only one thing of the movie , I would chose the moving relationship about Jamal and Talika.
    Of how the destiny, after so much difficult experiences , makes posible the final love between they two.

    That´s all !
    bye maribel !

    Slumdog Millionaire is a movie that happens in Bombay. His protagonist is Jamal Malik, he is a contestant of TV programme: Who wants to be to millionaire?
    He is playing for love, for the girl that he wants. Jamal will answer the questions remembering flashbacks of his life.

    Personally I would recommend this movie, it is very interesting and entertaining.

    Jamal Malik is a young Indian boy who is contesting in a very famous game show called “Who wants to be a millonaire?” He is in love with a girl whose name is Latika. When he was a very little boy he had to start living alone with his brother and they meet Latika. Then a very bad men kidnap them. The two brothers can scape but Salim leaves Latika there. During a lot of years Jamal i looking for Latika. Finally he decides to take part in the programme because he knows Latika would be watching it. I like very much the end of the film because finally the can be together.

    Argument: This film is about a boy, that IS involved in the TV programme of tv “Who wants to be a millionare” and he ANSWERS right questions because he reply for REMEMBERS events since he was little.

    In this film DEALS WITH speak about the situations than poverty, theft,extreme forms in the people live, traffic to persons, in the other.

    I like this film because IT SHOWS reflect than one boy WHO surviveS the bad society.

    Also IT talkS about love by Latika, conflicts between brothers, and de ways of the live.LIFESTYLES

    The argument of the film are about Jamal Malik, that is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and is one question away from the grand prize. However, before the last question,he is detained and interrogated by the police,who suspect him of cheating,and during the movie we can see because he know the answers through flashbacks. And for the moment we have seen some flashbacks that explain the story of Jamal, his brother Salim, and Latika and also some of the answers that he has given.

    I like the movie, is interesting but is sad because he win the money remembering sad moments.
