I was not interested in this movie at first, because I didn't know who Danny Boyle is, and who the casts were... until I knew that it won like 8 Oscars.I was like.. okay.. I gotta watch this movie. And I am glad I did (though I watched it from pirated DVD)

Slumdog Millionaire has a lot of underlying messages, from what I can observe.

-It shows that people usually rate others according to their background,
-how some people looked down on slum kids as if they have lower caste than animals,
-how people will fight for their beliefs and religion when fighting is against the teaching of their religion,
- how some cruel people used kids to gain profits
- and how school education and certification is so overrated, because above all, experience is the best teacher one could have.

Jamal Malik, the main character in this movie, could beat the lawyers and doctors to answer all these killer questions in tv programme 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' just based on his experience.
It kinda shows that our experience is the best teacher because we will rarely forget our experience and we understand about something more through experiencing it.

So, if I ask you this question:

Is Slumdog Millionaire your favourite movie?

A)No

B) Maybe

C) Not sure

D) Yes. Always my favourite.
