Slumdog Millionaire
We saw Slumdog Millionaire last weekend, an impressive movie about a boy from the slums who participates in Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
The film provides a glimpse of life at the bottom of society in India. It has a strange combination of despair about the desperate circumstances the main characters live in, and happy optimism and humor. Over-all it's an upbeat movie with beautiful camera work and great music.
Definitely recommended.

Re: Slumdog Millionaire
Boyle has really done a good job with this movie. While the movie deals with the gory details of the underbelly of Mumbai, it doesnt really leave you with a sick feeling. The story feels like a commentary and at the end you just feel good about the whole movie. Very well done I must say.
The music score by Rehman is amazing, the actors who played junior Jamal and Salim were the real stars. They were simply too good.
I thought Freida Pinto was overhyped. I think she had just 15 mins of screen presence in the whole movie.
