What is the film's unique selling point?

Slumdog Millionaire uses fresh new actors and actresses which people have never seen in films before. This sets it aside from other films as they are not the same old 'A list' stars which we are used to seeing. Also the films uses real life to relate to the audiences for example when we see part of the film set in the slums of millionaire, this is different to other films as we are not seeing the big houses, which we all dream about living in. They also use Danny Boyle as a selling point as he is a successful director who has had hit films before. This will make fans of Danny Boyle want to go and see the films he directs.
