Slumdog Millionaire
I am sure that a lot of you have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire and thought that it was a great movie. Well i saw it last weekend and i thought that it was an amazing movie and the filming was great. When i was watching it, some of the scenes were a bit disturbing because we see them do things to children in India that we do not see or hear about here in America. When i asked other people how they liked the movie, they said that it was really good and it showed America how bad things can be in the slums of India.
The Rolling Stone magazine gave the movie a great review and described it as "a family film of shocking brutality, a romance haunted by sexual abuse, a fantasy of wealth fuels by crashing poverty." I though that these words were very interesting and actually captured the movie pretty well. I liked the way that the author of this article compared positive words to negative words to describe the movie. This movie gave some people positive feelings and some people negative feelings and the way that the author of the article used both positive words and negative words to describe the movie, really shows how others can view the movie differently.
Out of a 100 point scale where 100 means the best movie, there were 10 critics that gave Slumdog Millionaire a perfect score saying that the movie was "a globalized masterpiece, a breathless film, and exciting film, and heartbreaking at some parts also.
What did you think of the movie?
Do you think it was right to show what they do to children in India?
Were you satisfied on the impact the movie left you with?
Would you recommend it to other people to see?

Hey Julia,
Good post. I also liked the movie pretty much. It's interesting to note that the only critics who have been critical of the movie are Indian, though. Some think the movie offers a mythology of love conquering all and game shows saving lives.
