Slumdog Millionaire

Denise and I had a kid-less night last evening. These come along every week or so, because the girls are with their father and my boys are with their mother. These nights, it seems wrong to stay home and do nothing, so Denise and I decided to go have a nice dinner and see a movie. Call it a Date Night.

We went to see Slumdog Millionaire at the Brendan Theaters here in Vacaville. I knew it was going to be a bit rough through most of the movie, since I had done a little reading about it earlier. Yes, it was hard to watch at times, especially for Denise, since it depicts quite vividly, the horrible reality of the slum conditions in Mumbai, India. It was a good story to see on the screen and we both enjoyed it overall. Glimpses of life lived in conditions such as those really gives you a sense of how lucky we are to have grown up here in the U.S. with a lifetime of happy and safe possibilities.
