What is the name of the third Musketeer?

A little electricity will loosen his tongue.

I thought we would meet again only in death.

This is our destiny.

Blind singers earns double. You know that.

Slumdog Millionaire is a movie about a poor boy, Jamal Malik "Dev Patel" an orphan, that is a contestant on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" . He is being questioned by police for cheating on the show, because they cannot believe that a poor street kid could be capable of winning the show. After countless contestants people from all walks of life from doctors, lawyers, and professors. What makes Jamal so special to get this far into the show? He is interrogated by the police about each and every question that was asked of him. Jamal tells the police about his life and all the experiences that makes it possible, for him to know the answers to all the questions that he was faced with. In this film they show scene after scene of how Jamal and his friends, did what they had to do to survive on the streets in India. It puts you in all three of the kids shoes, as you experience their life of hardship so up close and personal. That you cannot help but be brought in to the world that they lived. In any case, he makes it all the way to the one last question, with one goal in mind, to win the game for 20 million rupees and hopefully get his friend Latika "Freida Pinto" by his side forever in a relationship that he has desired almost his whole life. The movie left me with the question, "Does destiny really control us all, but only some people only choose to acknowledge it?"

Slumdog Millionare is an amazing film that everyone should try to see. Its photography of beautiful landscapes and landmarks of India, set the scene so perfectly that; it does not appear that a bit of Hollywood even exists in the film. Also, the Indian Techno music that gets your heart pumping and into the action of the movie. Along with great acting that makes the movie all to real. You are brought straight into Jamal's life, with his friends and enemies. I highly recommend it; and it was more than I could have ever have expected it to ever be.
