Academic English Assignment:Movie Review

Slumdog Millionaire is one of a good Indian Movie that I have watched,it is directed by Danny Boyle. Danny Boyle is a Golden Globe winner director from English. It takes time approximately 2 hours.It is using a mixed plot and set in India.

Jamal Malik is an Indian moslem from Mumbai. He lived together with his brother,Salim Malik and his mother. But later their mother died because the attack from the people with different beliefs. Jamal is uneducated.They also meet Latika who also being attacked by them. One day they meet Maman, a bad guy who uses children to get money. They are trying to escape from him, unfortunately Latika doent's get away succesfully.. After that they must continue doing dirty works in order to survive because they have no parents. They must steal food, cheat a lot of people to continue live, they also become a fake tour guide in Taj Mahal. Jamal is so sad, because he loves Latika, both of them love each other. Because he wants to save Latika, he goes back to Mumbai to save her. But Jamal meets Maman again, confrontation happens,Salim kill maman with a gun.

As time goes on,Jamal become a waiter and because Salim has showed his skill.Salim become a mafia. Jamal register himself into an Indian Who Wants To Be a Millionaire Quiz,he also hopes that he will find Latika. Jamal is able to answer all of the question although he is uneducated. When the last question is announced, time is over.They continue the quiz to the next schedule. But the policemen don't believe him because how come an uneducated person like him is able to answer all of the question. So they accused Jamal is cheating, and Jamal is being interrogated by the policemen. Then it is told by the movie that the reason why Jamal is able to answer all of the previous question is because all of the questions are related to his childhood story. He doesn't want to admit it because he doesn't cheating.

Latika watches Jamal on TV and wants to meet him, unfortunately he has married and her husband is the mafia boss. Because Salim is worked for the mafia, he knows whre Latika lives. Salim knows that he is in danger now because he helps Latika escapes. Salim let his life in danger to protect the happiness of his brother. Confrontation begins between Salim and Latika's husband. Salim let himself die in the bathtub but fortunately he has killed him.Jamal uses the phone a friend help to call his brother, but the one who pick the phone isn't Salim, it is Latika.Latika doesn't know it either. The last question is very difficult, at last Jamal uses his luck to guess the answer that he never heard before. The answer is correct, he wins 20 million and he meets his true love, and they live happily ever after.

My conclusion for this movie is a good one.This movie tells us the diffculties in life that we will face. This movie also tells to be always do something until it finished and depends on our luck.^^
