Slumdog Millionaire - Must See !

This is, in my opinion, the first must see movie of the year! It was date night last night and it was my husband Greg's turn, and wow did he pick a good one.

"Directed by Danny Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire" is based on a book "Q and A" by Indian writer Vikas Swarup. It traces the journey of a poor young man from the slums of Mumbai, who ends up winning one crore rupees in game show "Kaun Banega Karorpati", the Indian version of American TV show "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire." "

Why did I love it? Because it is about destiny. Because it is about every life, even the most unlikely one, having a purpose. Because it is about seemingly disconnected, somtimes horrible events, giving you a gift that will only reveal itself much later. Because it is about a moment when everything in your past has it's place in your history that brings you to a place of opportunity and perfectness. Because it is about love, about family, about loyalty, about trust, abour good winning over evil. This is a must see movie.......... leave your reviews here afterward!!!!!

To watch the trailer. More, but plot spoiler, IMDB.
Yes it is 4 am and I am going to work on my 85 Broads speech for Tuesday - the event is sold out, over 150 people, and I am psyched! The title, " Are YOU ready for a revolution?" You know my answer, what is yours?
