Jamal is one question away from winning 20 million dollars, but the horn to stop the show sounds off, and he has to walk off the stage until the next day. As he walks out of the building, he is captured by police and tortured on charges of cheating, for how else would he have known all the answers so far into the game. After being tortured he was given a chance to explain how he knew the answers. Coincidentally, every question he was asked yielded an answer that related to his life as a destitute child.

This was an amazing film, showcasing great cinematography which detailed the impoverished real estate of the slums with all the people who lived in substandard housing. The latrines, the muddy roads, and the barefoot kids who wear the same soiled clothes everyday was presented powerfully, a presentation conveying the culture of impoverished India so well. This is a great film that earned 10 Oscar nominations, and earned a best picture award. Awesome! I'll grade it a 92.

The Bale Out

Christian Bale became angry at a crew member while filming a scene in the upcoming Terminator film. Hopefully this rant will not categorize Bale as a difficult actor to work with.
