Slumdog Millionaire

Watched It! Loved It!


There are movies that you watch because It's an expected blockbuster, These movies can provide estimated revenues based from their casts' blockbuster status and the "buzz" which includes awards and other critic reviews.


And there are movies which makes a critic out of ourselves. Slumdog Millionaire is one of it.


I can say, that the movie has no dull moment, perhaps you can see some dullness is because of the lack of cinematic approach on the scene. The director somewhat struggled on these things due to the greatness and richness of the script and it's original story. But it is negligible.


See the movie, and you'll never regret it.


Trivias :


1. The pile of excreta that the young Jamal jumps into and was made from a combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

2. Dev Patel who plays Jamal is actually British.

3. Mercedes-Benz asked that its logos be removed in scenes taking place in the slums. The Company, according to Danny Boyle, did not want to be associated with the poverty-stricken area, fearing that that might taint its image.

4. Director Danny Boyle placed the money to be paid to the 3 lead child actors in a trust that is to be released to them upon their completion of grade school at 16 years of age. The production company has set up for an auto-rikshaw driver to take the kids to school everyday until they are 16 years old.

5. Given the ultimate critical acclaim bestowed on this film, it's hard to believe it almost went straight to DVD.
