just finished watching this..ahh this movie was sooooooo good. and it's 2 hours long too. i love movies that are long AND good. rarely does that happen. but yeah this movie should rank higher in the box office. even yahoo is giving this movie an A rating, and yahoo is usually harsh on ratings. if this movie doesn't win best picture of the year at the oscars, then wow..
rarely do movies such as these come along. But movies that start out as independent films like this one such as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, or Juno, rarely comes along. I love this movie. The producer took a simple storyline of india's version of Who Wants to be a millionaire, and turned it into more than that. the movie was about friendship, gratitude, love, betrayal, poverty and hope. overall, I love who they chose to play the parts for the movie. the actors were amazing and didn't dissapoint. you would think they have an A or at least a B-list celebrity in the movie to make this a credible movie. but there were none of those kind of high profile name celebrities. that's what makes this movie even greater. the girl who played Latia (Freida Pinto) was so great in this movie. I've never found Indian girls hot until I saw this movie. I mean wow. She was gorgeous. favorite line in the movie LOL "chilly on his willy"

holy shit is this movie a crock. nothing like filming poverty like a jeans commercial or a music video. f*ck this racist, pseudo-liberal-soothing, poverty-exploiting, thoughtless piece of filth. it's not good. it's incomprehensible @ best. omfg only a moron could think this is good.
read armond white's review. |

QUOTE(ojairus @ Jan 14 2009, 02:10 AM) who the f*ck is armond write. obviously... a film critic? duh. "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 |

SPEAKING GENERALLY TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: you're not a moron. you just need some learnin' or need to get off the MTV or something. not exactly. maybe you're into that sort of thing or something, iuhhhno. nonetheless, i highly encourage you to read FILM AS A SUBVERSIVE ART. alright, thank you, goodbye. oops. |

The only other movies that were playing at that theatre were Doubt, The Reader, Valkyrie, Last Chance Harvey, Hotel of Dogs, Bride Wars, The Unborn, and Notorious (which was sold out before Slumdog Millionaire). So we ended up going home.
