Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

A nice watchable film. But I think a little overrated considering the 8 Oscar wins.

What drove the kid? Love of a girl, who is now lost. How to connect with her? Become famous! Not a little idealistic and crazy, but perhaps just an exaggerated version of an occasional truth of the human condition: boy wins girl through dogged determination and courageous acts.

With other occasional truths (requiring less effort) being boy wins girl through having a job, being a prince, having good looks or having fashion sense (similar to being a prince).
