It can be safely said that the movie has struck a chord with people across the globe alike. We all love underdogs. Whenever we go for any sports match, cricket or soccer, baseball or football, seeing the underdog win is always a thrill. Not just thrill, a source of hope also.
All societies look upto the person who can rise from his conditions and make a life for himself. And this is very typically true of American society. No matter where you are from but if you can show that you have the courage to stand up, it will listen to you. That is why, Barack Obama is so looked up in America.
So much of digression. The point I am trying to make is that Slumdog Millionare strikes a chord with the human spirit which is to endure, to hope and to prevail. Of course I do not want to take the credit away from skillful direction of Danny Boyle, background score of AR Rahman and nifty editing. I could not look away from the screen while watching the movie, it was so engrossing. Despite of some criticism about the movie, I am looking forward to the movie winning couple of oscars.
