Slumdog Millionaire portrays how life in India can be for those who suffer from poverty. That factor itself makes the film so alive and vivid of how things are displayed. Jamal’s life is an unending disaster after being separated from his family and his childhood love.  He happens to be a contestant in the India version of “ Who wants to be a Millionaire.’  The answers to the questions link to an event, person, and song of his past so he gets every question right. The soundtrack within the film fits nicely to the action being done or the even happening.  Jamal is the dominant role in this film. The whole movie is based on this path to success and how he encounter gangs, evil people. The desperateness to find his lost love and the only person that he has left. The soundtrack contributes a lot in this movie because it contains so much all at once. It helps the audience get into the setting rather then just know they are watching a movie. This movie does a great job of breaking every step down with critical detail and evidence. It makes it more understandable and easy to follow, which is a really good thing. The costumes the roles make perfect sense. The audience can quickly notice that the people are from India and it makes perfect

sense that their outfits fit nicely into the culture and how people dress in India. This element makes it credible in which case the people will pay attention to the movie. People will actually stay awake.  I give this movie five stars. Everything is clear and precise.  All the bright colors that were used are just a bonus.
