Everyone is seriously raving about Slumdog Millionaire, but I have yet to see it myself. I’m planning on checking it out this weekend especially after hearing that it’s been nominated for Best Drama Film at the Golden Globes, and ten nominations at the Academy Awards.
Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young uneducated man from the Dharavi slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and exceeds people’s expectations, arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.
Without spoiling the movie for those who haven’t seen it (like me please), what are you thoughts on Slumdog Millionaire?
It’s a must see movie! Different from anything I’ve ever watched before. Really moving and exciting. :)
I have to agree with all the rave. This is a movie worth seeing. After you see it, you will know why it won so many awards.
But Dark Knight was still WAY BETTER. Thats just me though.
Yes! See this movie!!! Its a great film, my favorite part in the movie* was…well, you are going to have to find out for yourself. (*_^) (*in true Bollywood fashion! )
Again, for face-value and not comparing it to all the other films that have come out this year, its a really good film.
Ahhhhhh….. I’ve been wanting to see this too!
It could have been a masterpiece, but they went with the ending that you’ll see.
Great movie, anyway.
First of all, I haven’t seen it yet. I am going to watch it today.
But I just can’t believe it. It can’t be so good. Maybe, I will change my opinion, but it definitely can’t win Oscar because of Dark Knight.
I will tell you if I change my mind…
I promised that I would let you know and I have to confess. I changed my opinion a little bit. It is good movie. It reminds me Cidade de Deus / City of God. But IMHO it is not a great movie with big G that everybody is talking about. I think I can tell you, at least, 5 better movies which were made in 2008. Finally, the thing I really appreciate, it really looks like movie from Bollywood, even the tradition dancing in the end! So it was a big surprise for me when I noticed, it is USA/UK movie.
To sum up, the movie is good and I really recommend it to everyone!
