By now you would have heard, or read in the media, a great deal about British film director Danny Boyle’s latest film Slumdog Millionaire. The film narrates the story of a child from the slums of Mumbai who, though orphaned and growing up in abject poverty, overcomes many hardships in life to win millions on a TV gameshow and find true love.
May I request that you ignore all that you’ve read and heard about Slumdog Millionaire so far and go see the film yourself. Then, go and see the film again. Whatever you think and feel about the film after that is exactly how it should be.
If you’ve seen Slumdog Millionaire already, you know what I’m talking about.
