Just saw it.
Here's my attempt to analyse it.

Good review. I think it was an OK film, not a great film as many are making it out to be. The Book it was based on, Q&A was much better.

i really enjoyed the movie. still dont understand why everyone is so keen on over analysing it. -
I'd put the Wrestler up there with it - slumdog JUST beats it.,..
Both inspirational and well timed! -
I agree. -
My wife sent me an email yesterday asking if I wanted to see a movie. I read it without my glasses on and I thought the movie's title was MILF so I wrote back "sure!" Turned out, we went to see a movie called Milk about a bunch of gay guys in San Francisco. DOH! It was actually a good story but some of the scenes were kind of gross. -
Well deserving of all the awards it's getting... -
i knew it! won the big award. hope to see more of frieda pinto in the future. Very beautiful

Just now I got over watching the OSCAR show on star movies. 8 out of 10 bagged, Can you believe it? Slumdog Millioniare bags 8 awards, sincerely quite a SHOCK!!
I saw the movie around 2 weeks back. Did it really have it in itself, to get such a recognition? And the main reason why I am writing this blog is to ask a question to all of us Indians - Do you think if this movie was directed and produced by an Indian, we would be getting these awards?? Never - is the answer. Am I right?
So just because a foreigner came and mocked our country for the fun and entertainment of the West, they gave the movie 8 academy awards? Why? Didn't we see better movied in our own courtyard:
Taare Zameen Par
Lagaan
Dor
Dharm
Rang De Basanti
Omkara

I can go on and on.. I am not saying these are the best movies in the recent years, what I want to say is that they are better than Slumdog Millionaire..
We Indians are not worthless that people don't realise out capabilities. We dont need the support of some English person or an American or European to get a recognition. We know how to do our work and how to do it best. Thats all that matters. Today they may not recognise us for what we do, but if we are determined, there will be a day that India will stand TALL among all these West Nations!
Jai Hind.
Hope this blog brings out the talents in us and make us to do something which we never tried before and we were always afraid to do it. Be independent. Make your own firm. Start today. If you are fired like I am, from an American MNC, go ahead make your decision and start something independent.. Who knows you maybe the NEXT BIG THING!!
Good Luck..-
hmm. u bring up a good point. hollywood is for westerners. but, it is the dominate market. i am not saying that those other movies that you listed are not as good as slumdog. i am saying that i never heard of them. i guess it sucks that it takes a brit to introduce an indian film to the west. but, it still is a good thing. the culture, country, and the film got introduced. it sucks, but that is how the film world works. i would say that most of the good films do not get any attention. films made in korea, japan, india, mexico, france, never get the light of day in the US. Sucks for movie fans like me. But, when it does, i like to rejoice. that's what happened with slumdog.
ok the director wasn't indian, but the whole cast was. it would be really insulting if the lead actors were white too. also, the films score and song also won. if i am not mistaken, he was indian. -
well said brother. Slumdog is not such a big good movie and even its music, compared to other rehman's movies, is less melodious. But still because its director is a foreigner everyone connected with movie got big deals.And a number of Indians are going mad just because of this. why the hell we people, cries for the international awards....? If some foreigner gives awards to a average movie , we say its great and forgets our much better movies around....

Actually it say's what is real India on be half of Doom2 or kuch kuch h.. he or Don.That is the reality in India. They hide those side in their film.I like ti it is push me to think something other that commercial movie.And Jamal malik is very good character to represent some kind of Indian people.Not like doom. -
