looks interesting. anyone have a link to it? =P
Re: Slum Dog Millionaire
Dunno about a link (I am assuming you mean some kind of illegal download), but I saw the movie last weekend in the theater, and it is a very decent movie.
The first hour or so showcases life in slums of Mumbai and parts will make you wanna puke or will induce cringe. It gets a bit relaxed in the second half. Very well made, artsy movie. Except Anil Kapoor (as the host of the game show), I don't think I had heard of other actors, so they are all kinda new.
Definitely recommend this movie on DVD. Movie theater is also fine if you have nothing better to spend your ten bucks.
Re: Slum Dog Millionaire
no theatres showing it here. i guess dvd will do it. thanks.
Re: Slum Dog Millionaire
i thought the movie was nice until the very last scene. dont wanna spoil it for anyone so watch for yourself. i honestly dont understand why they had to include the last scene.
Re: Slum Dog Millionaire
By last scene you means the token song and dance on the train station? I guess that was their sole favor for those Bollywood fans who watched the whole movie for 2 hrs and were itching for one little song :-)
Re: Slum Dog Millionaire
^^ lo jee i was trying not to post the spoiler and u said it....lol yeah thats the scene. it just broke the whole mood of the movie u know what i mean? like...its all serious and romantic and then all of a sudden everyone starts dancing.
Golden Globe Nomination.........
Indian music director A R Rahman has won a nomination for best original score for his music in director Danny Boyle’s uplifting underdog tale Slumdog Millionaire.
“I always feel that I am just one of the elements and then combining it with other elements it becomes something else. So with the same instinct I had done the music in two to three weeks,” Rahman said.

^ Keep up this verbal diarrhoea and terrorist or not, I doubt you have a long future on GupShup. :-)
I'm Indian and I have to agree, some parts of the movie were just too much. That boy crawling out of sh**, the filth, the cruelty...I felt sick.
Even though I loved the movie and the message that any good human spirit will triumph in the end, it was factually wrong on some accounts.
I don't believe that so much misery exists, and neither that the Indian police can take away a boy and torture him just because he's getting the right answers.
This is based on a book called Q&A about a young waiter who wins the Indian version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire". The book was brilliant and so I am looking forward to the film. Even though no film ever seems to be as good as the book.
The novel is by Vikas Swarup.
Vikas Swarup is author of the novel that became Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" (the best-reviewed movie of 2008 and the best-reviewed Indian-themed movie since "Gandhi"). Calling in from South Africa, where he is India's deputy ambassador, Swarup will discuss the movie and his book, "Q&A." Here's just one testimonial from the worldwide acclaim the book has received: "A very clever story told very cleverly and at a relentless pace" - Syndey Morning Herald.
