What I liked about the movie is how real it was. Life is hard enough when you grow up here in the 'states where things are (relatively) sane. But growing up in the slums of Mumbai? Having your mother killed by a Hindu mob (which really happens there)? Living in a dump? Being kidnaped by beggar kings?

Andrea and I went to India a couple of years ago, and watching Slumdog Millionaire felt like being back there. I don't know how someone who hasn't been to India would see it - it might seem fake, or extreme, or exaggerated, but it's none of these. If anything, it makes India look much less harsh than it really is. So I can't blame you for not liking the movie, but I absolutely loved it. India really messes with your head.

thank you. I love everything about that FIlm. Effects to phylosophical/ Quantum mechanical truths
