Slumdog - Where Do You Live?

Check out the picture above. It's of the slums in Mumbai. Crazy, but this is how some people live. (The link from the previous sentence is an incredible site.)

Also, you should really watch Slumdog Millionaire. I implored my friends on FB to watch it many months ago before it (finally) started to get good press. Call me a helpless romantic or a sap, but I think it's a beautiful film. Sure, it didn't hurt that the female lead is gorgeous, but the cinematography is stunning, the pictures moving and disturbing. It's a must see. It's the one movie this year that may bother and excite you. Allow you to see everything good and bad in the world. Yet still come away with the feeling of love and hope.



Watch the movie. Be inspired.

I absolutely agree with you -- this is the best movie I have seen in a long time.

And that website is really cool. I need to look at it more when I'm not at work. Thanks for sharing!

I so agree, my sister and I went to see this and thought it was so memorable and unique.
