Slumdog Millionaire is an Indian movie directed by Danny Boyle that win some of the movie awards. At the beginning of the movie, there is a question that ask why Jamal Malik could win in the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire with choices A. He's lucky B. He's cheating C. He's genius D. It is written. Well, before you watch the entire movie, you will not be able to answer this question. This movie is all about the life of a man called Jamal Malik from Mumbai, India. His mother was killed when he was little, and he live only with his brother Salim. When his home was attacked by a group of people who also killed his mother, both of them met a young girl called Latika whose parents are also killed. They tried to stay alive by doing anything to get money including as stealing and cheating. After one day they’re kidnapped by a group of evil men who wanted to take their eyes, both Jamal and Salim could escape but Latika doesn’t. Since that day Jamal is always thinking of her. Salim is very proud after he had a lot of money. He left his little brother alone. After all of them grown up, Jamal works in a telecommunication company and tried to call his brother, both of them met up again and actually Salim knows where Latika lives.
One day, Jamal registered at a quiz program “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” and he could answer all the questions except the last question given because all of it is related to his past life. When the last question is given, the time is up, so they continue the show on the next day. Because of this, he is considered cheating by the MC and he was interrogated by the police. The police force him to accept that he is cheating, but Jamal doesn’t want to accept it because he doesn’t cheat. When the day come for the last question, Latika who already married wanted to meet Jamal and left her husband. She wanted to escape from her husband house and finally she’s successful to escape with the help of Salim. After Latika’s husband who is a gangster knows that Latika met Jamal, he tried to search for Salim. Salim know that he will be killed, so he prepared himself with a gun and successfully killed Latika’s husband before he died. Finally, Jamal met with Latika again and they both live happily. This Indian movie is a bit weird because there is no dance, not like other Indian movie. But overall the movie has a good view of moral with the mixture of love and difficulty to survive in life. And the answer to the question is D. It is written, because all the question in the quiz are related to Jamal’s past life.
