Slumdog Millionaire

I am yet to see the movie...but a close friend of mine has strongly suggested it to be a must watch....simply for its terrific story line!

If you are a Tata Sky subscriber, the TV premier is there for three days in this week end

 

I am amazed at the number of people I come across everyday in India who believe it's an Indian movie. C'mon having an India based story and Indian actors doesn't make it an Indian movie. But even media is to blame for this, they also project as if SM is a great achievement for Indians. Of course for some like AR Rahman it really is, but it still is NOT an Indian movie). Otherwise bollywood movie kabul Express would actually be an Afghani movie...

 

Music was good and original.

But why am I getting a feeling its kinda inspired from "City of God" and to little extent its copy.

Anybody else?

 

praying to god to make it an oscar winner......

 

The movie is great. Danny Boyle is my favorite director and this one's his best so far. I think Slumdog Millionaire is the Oscar Best Picture front-runner this year.

 

Mostly nominated for about 10 categories

 

It was truly amazing. A masterpiece i wud say. Perfect example of direction and screenplay. But take it as fiction and source of entertainment instead of finding reality in it.

 

Ditto what that man just said!

Danny Boyle could win "Best Director" and it could win "Best Picture", even though the film is flawed with many eye-rolling examples:

1) microphone boom is visible in the frame, when Jamal is questioned by police.

2) the number "1,000,000" doesn't exist in the Indian culture. This is just one of the many glaring inaccuracies in factual basis.

3) phone-a-friends are always called before the show is taped, and they make sure they are next to the phone when they are called. (Hollywood plot contrivance at climax of movie)

4) Bollywood style "Production Number" in the end credits, is very silly and is becoming a cliche (thanks to Gurinda Chadha films released in US).

 

overhyped piece of crap tbh

 

Even after these flaws... i think this movie is going to get India at least 1 oscar. Probably no movie is perfect.. so is this movie also.

 

I am looking forward to seeing this one.

 

Well I think this is best movie because of great storyline and topic and everyone loves to see that movie. I am sure this movie will win atleast 1 Oscar awards.

 

I have heard this movie is fantastic. But I guess I won't really know until I see it.

 

Really I like that movie.Very much interesting and great movie.

 

Yes I really liked it. Good movie overall.

 

I liked the movie too... Music is great and story is also good....

 

"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" is flawless. Great direction, acting, costumes, set direction and art direction.

Even though its not the hyped-up favorite like Slum Dog Millionaire......Benjamin Button is the most "perfect" film that was released in 2008.

1) Its historically accurate in its depictions of New Orleans and hurricane Katrina.

2) there are no technical gaffes like Microphone pieces showing up in the finished film

3) Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett do their best acting work EVER.

4) David Fincher ("Fight Club") is an awesome filmmaker, he's got an incredible eye for details and cultural accuracy in his scripting & design.

 

I watched. It is alright I don`t really see anything special in the movie. Some people might like it other might hate it depends on your taste.
