still not bought into as "the best movie of 2008". maybe top 10 at best, but not best.

I agree here, definitely a top 10 movie, but so far, in this season of great movies, Milk is going higher, cant wait to watch Frost/Nixon and Gran Torino as well, seems Benjamin Button is good but ive heard some mixed reviews, might wait on it for DVD.

The movie is much more than a "mushy cheese ass love story". That is one of the many subplots rolling around the movie.

There are subplots such as greed, despair, angst, happiness, friendship and bond, great shots of Mumbai, India, doubt, and that slight feeling to cheer for the anatagonist of the 2 boys after the ending of the movie. I just had the feeling that he did what he had to do to reconcile all the actions he caused towards the protagonist of the 2 boys.

Wow! Danny Boyle has outdone himself...
A great love story, a great inspiration. This movie had me glued to my seat until the very end, one of the best endings i've seen in quite a while.

My favorite character in the movie is Salim. Tempted with power, lust, money, greed... this tragic villain consistently makes decisions that will selfishly further his own interests. However for a couple defining moments in the movie, he gives up everything by placing family first, and doing what is necessary to protect his brother. In the end you can only admire his final decision in spite of everything else he has done to Jamal previously.

9.5/10 movie of the year for 2008 for me

Saw this movie on New Years day. Fantastic movie. Well put together, awesome plot and character development, very good flow, and its continuity is spot on.

Looks like Danny Boyle had a pretty big night:

Great movie.

No flaws in anything that it does, but perhaps the only flaws are that there are things it doesn't do. Enjoyed it very much throughout. I wonder how it did in India.

Let the bandwagons begin! ...............

but yeah Congratulations to the crew for going 4/4.

Wow, that's a clean sweep for Slumdog:

Best Director
Best Screenplay
Best Musical Score (duh)
Best Picture (Drama)

Nicely done. On to the Oscars, eh?

Posted by LeopoldStotch on Jan-12-2009 04:15:

I think the votes may swing when more voters get the opportunity to watch "Revolutionary Road". Yeah we can call "Slumdog Millionaire" the ~~"Juno"~~ "No Country For Old Men" of 2008.

btw ... Freida Pinto (Latika) looked pretty hot tonight.

Posted by Lebezniatnikov on Jan-12-2009 04:23:

I think she's stunning. I saw the film again last night actually, and she looked even prettier than I remembered.

Posted by PoisonJam19 on Jan-12-2009 04:25:

I'm glad this won best picture tonight. Hopefully this is a sign of what's to come with Oscar.

I have only seen the film once, but I found her quite the looker. I would totally date her. This says a lot, because I rarely venture outside of certain looks.

pretty girl don't get me wrong.

but yeah, in certain shots, i'm like meh,

Fucking incredible, I'm such a fan of Danny Boyle's style.

Makes me want to travel and see things so badly...

Best movie of the year?

The year just started. o.O

What about Milk?

Posted by coolestrl on Jan-26-2009 17:43:

So i finally saw the movie last night, amazing direction, amazing music, great plot, easily ONE of the best movies i've seen in a past few years, some really great scenes in the movie, i love the scene on the train,where both the brother trying to steel food, the whole TAJ-Mahel sequence is amazing as well.the depiction of India, with all its harsh realities, contradictions and complexities, is absolutely masterful. The sights and sounds that characterize the end of the movie in particular, took my breath away.... The depiction of the slums is so very real. Life is actually that hard there!

Posted by coolestrl on Jan-26-2009 17:44:

one of my fav scenes from the movie

Both movies were technically released in 08.

good film, but my main issue was with the MIA tracks. i like Maya, but she is Sri Lankan not Indian. Dont they hate each other? I know they have fought wars and such...

that was a little confusing, oh and most of India has never even heard of this movie. most of the topics are not something the indian govt wants to show off|
