We just watched Slumdog Millionaire and it was an EXCELLENT movie. It was so thought provoking, heart wrenching, and inspirational. It is about a boy who lives in the slums of India and gets an off chance at becoming rich on a game show. He knows the answers to the questions on the game show and people are shocked that a boy from the slums could answer the questions. The sad part is that he only knows the answers because of the Hell that he has been through. He is about to have everything he ever dreams of but he has to relive the Hell he has been through in order to answer the questions. It is sickening that most people do not even realize the level of poverty that the people of India live in, but this movie is really eye opening to what it is like. You should all really see this movie. It is so humbling and beautiful. It also will give you an idea of what the call centers are like there. People get so upset about outsourcing, but the fact is that the country is so impoverished and this is it's chance to end the poverty and really grow into an industrialized nation. I loved this movie and definitely recommend it. Do not watch it if your kids are in the room! You can also stream it immediately from Amazon if you want to watch it right now.
