The movie Slumdog Millionaire is one of my favorite movies. It teaches you about the other side of the world you do not know much about. It is also sad people have to live in conditions like that; we take so much for granted in the U.S. Slumdog Millionaire reminded me of the movie we watched in class, “Life in the Brothels” they talk about their sad lives over there and how when they grow up none of them have very high hopes for one another in the future. That is why there is an American woman there is teaching them photography and trying to give them a better education and life. Similar to Jamal, the main character in the movie, this movie shows they should not give up in the lives they have, he won a million dollars out of luck. These types of movies I like, very informational while showing what needs to be shown to make other people around the world aware of the circumstance in other countries and what we take for granted. I also love the movie for the names of the characters, Jamal, Latika and Salim. This movie does a really good job of portraying cultures in another country and forces realization that there are people in the world with out tap water, clean clothes and even toilets.

We should be happy with the lives and possessions we have now after seeing them struggle for even food and fresh water. This movie is very informative and spreads awareness of the problems around the world we are not normally exposed to. Movies like this are sad to see the way people live but they have a great story line. Jamal, the whole movie he is looking for his childhood friend and in the end he finds her finally after all his struggling, his destiny has been found.
