QUOTE(Tung @ Jan 18 2009, 03:00 PM)  but i still think slumdog > than all of them. don't you think this has a lot of legitimacy? QUOTE(NoSex @ Jan 14 2009, 10:04 PM) "Also uniquely British is the film’s blithe condescension about the dehumanizing conditions of the former colony. Slumdog absolves the white man’s burden with game-show flash and shrillness. Boyle’s response to poverty and degradation is to go pop: Dogme videographer Anthony Dod Mantle uses a festive range of colors that gives false vitality to the soul-deadening action. Teeming crowds, hustling con artists, smiley/treacherous child-abusers, ethnic rioters, outhouse jokes, chase scenes and gunplay are used for excitation and shock. There hasn’t been a social drama this decadently over-hyped since City of God. Boyle plays the same game of pandering to liberal sensibilities while entertaining safe, middle-class distance." http://www.nypress.com/article-18907-the-m...illionaire.html don't you think the movie is reduced to a fairy-tale'd disney crock when it is completely engulfed by a love story? don't you think the movie looks like a jeans commercial? don't you think the entire thing is designed to be as easily digestible as possible? don't you think, when the film is pushed to its limits, it is not only nonsensical, but contrary? i mean, it's a movie about poverty... and the success of the protagonist is characterized in the winning of money? didn't his brother die in a bathtub full of money? uhmmm? |
