Mee !~Hello ! =) , it’s really been a while. Just feel like writing something.
agagaga, life is a bliss for me, no stress, no worries (at times), assignments done on time, going out, and etc. Just that I had been struck by some stupid-wont-go-away flu and bad stomach cramps. Other than that, all well that ends well. =P

Extracted topic from my Sime Darby Questionaire Scholarship Application :
" What is you favourite film, why ? "
I used to have Titanic as my favourite film of all time, but something has recently top off the chart in my selection. Now, my favourite film is “Slumdog Millionaire.” “Slumdog Millionaire” is a movie made on 2008 directed by Danny Boyle, which adapts the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-nominated novel Q & A (2005). To many amazement, this movie has won a grand total of eight Oscar’s Awards, five Critic’s Award, four Golden Globes, and seven BAFTA Awards. So, what can we conclude from here ? What makes this movie so unique and distinctive compared to other films shown in 2008 ? What does the movie illustrate about ?
This film has been a topic of conversation and discussion among peoples everywhere especially citizens in India. This movie tells about an 18 year old boy who made his entrance into a popular quiz show, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” and astoundingly began to win up to the top prize, which is a million dollars. So to say, people have never encountered such situation for a boy to reach the final round while doctors, professors, and other highly educational individuals could not even experience what it is like to be in the last around. This situation has been bombarded by many inexhaustible inquisitive audience of the quiz show regarding how this boy can actually be a millionaire.

Was he cheating ? Was he lucky ? or Was he a genius ?
These are the queries that are questioned by many people and have been revolving throughout the film. Under this dreadful condition, the boy, named Jamal Malik has been taken into custody by policemen for interrogation for justification on how he managed to grab a full score when he participated in the quiz show. Surprised and admired, were my feeling towards his answers for his reasons. Jamal soon explained his story that starts off in flashback on the very 1st question concerning his old past. Each question leads on into another anecdote and intriguing tale towards the ends. Thus, this movie has attracts many viewers inclusive of me due to the different kind of approaches and perspective that the movie displayed in the film. This, are one of the factors which captivates me in getting engrossed with this attention-grabbing motion picture.

Besides that, the techniques and methods used in narrating the movie is far different and unique if one were to contrast between a typical movie and “Slumdog Millionaire.” The movies include flashbacks peppered along with delightful and nicely added side love story, whereby Jamal Malik (the main character) falls in love with a prostitute named Nita, as Jamal began his romantic pursuit towards his childhood friend.
A sophisticated yet self-explanatory fairy tales it is, as the movie did its prime and major role to provide enough sequences of scenes to avoid being pushed back into a humdrum side and bores the audience. Other than that, the scenes are also sprinkled with vivid touches of poverty, violence and brutal abuses and exploitation plus indifference among the people.
Now, we must not forget about the flamboyant displays of atmosphere gyrating in India, sound and sights included. Aside from the romantic core aspects in the film, the film used most of its screening time emphasizing in Mumbai’s sombre situation of poverty.

The director has done very well in showing every single distinct and definite details happening in India, which includes aggression and brutality among the communities. With that said, how can I not be dazzle and overwhelm with the exotic details shown in “Slumdog Millionaire” ? It is better than any average movie and I find this statement rather irrefutable and indisputable.
Cordial actors and actresses, serious and heartfelt elements synchronize into it, well-angle shots of interesting scenes, and remarkable plot played by the main character, how someone can contradict the very existence of “Slumdog Millionaire” from winning the Oscar Awards ? Again, with its comprehensive features and characteristics of “Slumdog Millionaire”, finding faults in this movie is rather infinitesimal and diminutive.

Moving on, the movie is also well supported with myriads of musical fusions, from American pop hit music mix with dance tracks, to classical hybrid Indian based melody. This is well enough to rationalize why it has been nominated and won the Oscar’s Award for Best Sound Mixing but lost in Best Sound editing to The Dark Knight.
Then, with lovable young actors and actresses put into the movie, it is enough to standardize the movie into a bravura entertainment. Majority or minority, I find the characters portrayed in the movie considerably close to what virtuoso performers are. Additionally, the actors are well trained by the directors, and significantly play the heart and soul of the film. Despite the grimy, stained mud and dirt on their faces, they have never failed to radiate their wide smiles and bright eyes. Regardless of what situation they are in, they treasure what they have entirely and do not emanate even a slight figure of chagrin and disappointment.

Lastly, reaching the climax of the movie, Jamal did his move and attempted the final question posted on the game screen. 4 selections, 25% chances of winning each, with thousands of dollars to risk for failed endeavour, but one million dollars offered when he is triumphant. Heaven or hell ? Albeit predictable and foreseeable, for someone to guess the ending, where Jamal did won his majestic and grandiose prize, I find it not a matter to be worry and to add credence to concern.
In the nutshell, this movie has really mesmerize and enchant me, for its vibrant colours of displays in the movie, vast variety of music scores and composition, exotic details in the movies, portraits of abject poverty in life which made it palpable and interesting different outlooks in the movies and angle shots for scenes, it is no doubt, “Slumdog Millionaire” is now my favourite film.
