Title: Slumdog Millionaire
Post by: Ghost1988 on January 27, 2009, 07:48:23 PM

is officially the ALL TIME BEST movie ive seen in my life. i know thats a bold statement but its true. theres a reason this movie got nominated for an oscar. its a foreign film with a lot of subtitles but its SOOOO good and has a touching story to it mixed with A LOT of drama. its one of those movies that leave you feeling happy and sad at the same time when its over. i definately recommend everyone go see it.

now i cant wait till it comes out on DVD.  O0

Ive heard a lot about it. It sounds good.

Two really good foreign films are Tropa De Elite and Carandiru. Really, really good movies.

I really liked it, and saw it twice.  Wouldn't give it the honor of my favorite movie - but it's good.





in case you were wondering, my favorite movie - Father of the Bride, Part 2.
that was a joke...  the first one was much better.

a very good movie but you need to watch a few of the classics.

I understand that the people in India and the people in Mumbai and environs especially are really pissed off about the movie. I wonder why that would be.?

I'm really interested in seeing this.  I recently watched the move Namesake and recommend it if you like this category of films.

I just saw this movie and thought it was great.  Kind of reminded me of a romantic Scarface.

I haven't seen the movie although I certainly intend to see it.  I have read about the unhappiness in Mumbai and I understand it to center on the use of the word "Slumdog."  Residents of the area in question were not happy about the designation of the area as a slum and the residents as dogs.  However, there may be more to it than this.

Ok....this is over a year after this thread was started....

But I just watched it on DVD and thought it was EXCELLENT!

Can't understand why it got an "R" rating....I watched it with my 10-year-old (after watching it once through myself).  There were only a couple "F" bombs that were so wrapped up in an Indian accent they fly right by.....same with the "S" word.

At the end I asked my daughter if she heard any cuss words and she said "no".....though she did pick up 1 or 2 "s" words in the subtitles  (that I happened to miss).
