See Slumdog Millionaire



My favorite movie of the year. Danny Boyle shines again with this film. It's everything I love about great fun filmmaking. Excellent performances across the board. Great energy, camera-work, and music. A beautiful innocent love story set across India, from the slums to the riches. And a terrific leading actor.

    Sounds like a great movie ...
    I am sure there is a lot of sudden uncalled for camera zooms... some sexual tension between an old janitor and a younger women...and a lot of Indian flags in the background...
    The only question is there a little domestic violence stuff thrown in for no apparent reason

    Cue the audience awards ...

    Ooops ...here goes the comments section

    Amin,

    Will this movie knock the chances of Captain for the Best Foreign Film for 2008 or will it be in a different category?

  6. It's up for best picture as most of the film is in English. We're up for Best Foreign film.

    Dev Patel was awesome !

    Its too bad that Waltz with Bashir knocked over captain abu raed from the Oscars, it really makes you think if it was a better film or simply just a jewish film :)
