Hello ! Today I’m going to speak about one of my favourite film which is Slumdog Milionaire. This movie was released in 2008 by Danny Boyle and it received numerous Oscars (eight exactly). This famous movie was adapted by the novel of the Indian writer Vikas Swarup which called Q & A (for Questions and Answers) in 2005.

This film tells the story of Jamal Malik, 18 years old and orphan from the slums of Bombay (or Mumbai). He achieved the last stage of the game « Who wants to be a Milionaire ? » to win 20 million Indian rupees. Following this, there are a lot of questions : How can a man from slums achieve it ? Will he win the last test ? There is many doubt and the police suspect a cheating. Desperate to prove his innoncence, the main character in the film tells the story of his life in the slums ; his adventures, his meetings, and his relation with Latika which is the girl he loved. We discover that each chapter of his story reveals the answer of one the game’s questions…

In his film, Danny Boyle wanted to show the extreme poverty, the injustice, the fear and the nastiness in the slums. But also the youth, the chance and the love.

That’s why I choose this film because I find it very original and touching. It show that anyone can be happy and especially lucky, even if we are poor.
