A Great Movie...

I recently watched a great movie with an unmistakeable title, "Slumdog Millionaire". With such a title, I wonder how it became a blockbuster success in the first place and with critics talking about it right-after. Furthermore, with those almost unknown names of the leads, to be a great success, it has to have a great story to tell. And the story was so original and inspiring that an Oscar is not even enough to award such feat. Then only I realised that Slumdog is one of those movies where you'll remember for the rest of your life, even if you've watched it only once.

I do urge people to watch this great movie as it entails many lessons in life which we take granted for. It reminds me that, not only big-budgeted movie can be a success, but the most fundamental quality is still the direction and originality of the story.

I love this story very much and it's unlike most of our current movies in cinemas today, where you'll walk off feeling unsatisfied or felt it could be better.
