Slumdog Millionaire Film Review
This film is definitely worth watching and rightly so deserved to win the Golden Globe for best film.
I see elements of ‘Forrest Gump‘ in this film i.e. the fact that amazing coincidental events happen to the main character but in this case the main character is aware of them and not as special as Forrest.
The storyline (without giving too much away) is about a young man who is up to the penultimate question on ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ All the questions presented revolve around his extraordinary life and the the audience is made aware of how he knew the answer from earlier years. The last question is where the story comes full circle.
My two favourite scenes are the opening scene which is hillarious and the ending scene which could rival any half decent Bollywood offering.

When asked to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up, second-grader "Sarah" turned in the lovely drawing shown below. Needless to say, the teacher was a bit surprised -- Mrs. Smith had always seemed like such a conservative woman.

The Browns came to see the doctor. He gave them thorough physical exams, psychological exams, and various tests, and finally concluded, "Yes, I am happy to say that I believe I can help you. On your way home, stop at the grocery store and buy some grapes and some donuts.

Harry Truman after the presidency
Political offices are now for sale.
Harry Truman, from Mi ssouri , was a different kind of President. He probably made as many important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 44 Presidents. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
Historians have written the only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence , Missouri . On top of that, his wife inherited the house from her Mother.

Letter to the bank...
Dear Sirs, In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks
at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me correctly... If one of
my checks is returned marked 'insufficient funds,' how do I know whether
that refers to me, or to you?
