I dont think I have ever wanted anything as bad as that kid wanted the actors autograph. That was just nasty.

PROTEGE! WTF?! Where you been brother?!

hehe, that was srsly nasty, but Amitabh Bacchan is really that big in India

quote:

Amitabh Bachan on this movie: �If SM projects India as Third World dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations. It�s just that the SM idea authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a Westerner, gets creative Globe recognition. The other would perhaps not.�

Originally posted by biznology 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...

A.R. Rahman was the one who invited her to work on the soundtrack. To the best of my knowledge, Sri Lankans and Indians have never really fought wars... but my knowledge of the history of the sub-continent is contemporary at best.

It was a little odd though, and only serves to further the impression in the US that she is Indian (initiated by the Timbaland collab where he used the line "girl take me to your teepee" which was just all sorts of wrong).

I enjoyed this movie. Not quite sure if it is best-picture worthy though. It was great the way everything tied together with the answers to the questions but I didn't quite buy the romance. I think I preferred 'Milk'.

half way through the movie so far, sickkk so far

Just got back from seeing it, absolutely awesome, one of the best movies I've ever seen

And Likita is insanely beautiful

i enjoyed it, wouldnt say it was the best movie i've ever seen
as soon as the love story kicked in i wanted to vomit.... fuck i hate romance shit

yes I have finally decided the fact that "Slumdog Millionaire" should be labeled "the feel good bandwagon story" of 2008, just like "Juno" was the same label in 2007.



... and yes i label this movie in 2008, because the movie was released last year.

FINALLY saw it. What can I say that hasn't already been said? A brilliant film in every aspect.

Superb.

Pretty much my stance on it.

Slumdog Millionaire's very much a typical bollywood movie. Only, it's made by a non-indian director for a global audience.

A couple more of A.R.Rahman's super famous tunes.

"Bombay" movie theme - From a live concert (No vocals)



Song from movie "Taal" with Aishwarya Rai.

Will have to watch it, everyone says it is an awesome film. (:
Not a lot of good movies as of late, hopefully this will be one.

amazing film. don't have much else to add that hasn't been mentioned here.

coincidentally, i saw trainspotting for the first time the night before, not really knowing who danny boyle was until googling it then... enjoyed it just as much. only other movie of his i saw of his was sunshine, which i was partial to... but the thing that stands out exceptionally in all three are the soundtracks. paper planes, blondie - atomic, and the epic theme when the dude gets burned in the astronaut suit all make me feel fuzzy now

no. i think ur confusing this with Chandi Choke to China. your typical bollywood film has the same fucking structure over over again. and enough with the singing and dancing please. Ram Gopal Varma tried changing that format in bollywood and he got it right with Sarkar and its sequal, Sarkar Raj. no singing dancing in those films. great fucking films.

Five Academy Awards so far.
