What was the last movie you have seen?
On sunday I took the time to go to the cinema and watch one of the most famous and most spectacular movies of today’s cinema life: Slumdog Millionaire.
“The story of how impoverished Indian teen Jamal Malik became a contestant on the Hindi version of “Who Wants to be A Millionaire?” — an endeavor made without prize money in mind, rather, an effort to prove his love for his friend Latika, who is an ardent fan of the show.” (cinema.com)
I have to admit that I had doubts whether this would be a weak Bollywood film because I had heard different kinds of reputations, the ones liked it a lot, the others thought “Just another love story, don’t be bothered watching it”.
What would you have done after seeing the trailer? Run to the cinema or stay at home and watch your favourite TV show?
Well, thank you very much, it was not another Bollywood movie (except the last couple of minutes), and even if it shows pretty obviously living conditions of the poor in India, I am not convinced to award it 8 oscars and I do not need to see it necessarily again in the next couple of months.

Hey Anna!
I also heard a lot of things regarding this movie although I have not watched it yet. So you don’t like it that much?
I guess I will wait until I can lend me the DVD in a shop or somewhere else to create my own thoughts about it…

Hey,
thank you very much for your comment.
well, I did like the movie, and I think it is absolutely worth to watch it, but it did not make me forget everything around you, partly it did not even grabbed my whole attention and I even had a look on my watch to check the time. These are as you might assume no typical features for a movie you would award eight oscars. But still if you have a free evening, it is no wasted time watching it!
