The Winners of Oscar 2009

Rich and Handsome Brad vs Poor Indian Jamil

There were many discussions about who deserved the Oscar awards more. Some like the curious case, some like the story of a poor teenage. Before the ceremony, everyone was talking about it and putting forward an idea. When the ‘it’ night came, everyone was very excited and intense.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won awards in 3 different categories, while Slumdog Millionaire won 8. The Slumdog Millonaire had a cast of poor Indians and the film’s budget is approximately ten times less of the money that spent for Benjamin Button. The ironical situation is that probably the film publishers of Benjamin Button offered Brad Pittt million dollars but who wins millions and a priceless award is a slum. Looks like it isn’t all about money.

Slumdog Millionaire

It’s the story of a boy who is at the age of 18 called Jamal Malik . He participated to a competition named "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" which is a very popular contest and known by many countries included Turkey. I used to watch that competition and enjoyed watching it. Therefore, I know how hard it is to win the biggest prize. You have to be wise and have liberal education. In addition, you have to be very calm during the competition. As Jamal, an orphan from the slums of Mumbai, continued giving correct answers, everybody got curious about his success. Since he is an uneducated poor boy, polices thought he is cheating or something. They arrested and interrogated him before the day that he would answer the last question. Jamal started to tell his life story and the places he went with his brother. In every adventures story he told, the audience and polices saw the answers of the questions in the stories. Finally, he has released and everybody believed that he is innocent. Do you want to know what happened in the end to the slumdog millionaire? It’s came to the motion screen today. Why don’t you buy a ticket, call a friend, grab some popcorn and move your ass :)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The film that has seen by many people before it came to the motion screen: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The reason of this film’s popularity is that it has an interesting theme. In the film, the daughter of Daisy Williams reads her mother the diary of Benjamin Button who had born an old man who has diagnosed with several aged diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Daisy's grandmother was a resident at Benjamin’s home, which is where she first met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. You should see this unordinary and interesting story. Surely, it will impress you as if it did many people. Additionally, another fact is the film excepted to win many awards.
