I loved this movie, but I want to make it clear it is not for very young children. There are some violent actions towards children in the movie.
The acting (especially the kids) is fabulous and the camera work is gorgeous. However, what I enjoyed ...
Slumdog Millionaire is more than just a story of love, loss and betrayal or a catchy song. The images of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) are very powerful, raw and real; sometimes too real for people to see, and may make people feel uncomfortable, but that's ...
I can understand why some might be hesitant in watching this film, it's not necessarily a movie one just has a sudden burst of enthusiasm and wants to watch. I rented this movie from Netflix and it sat on my dresser for 6 months before I finally decided ...
I heard all the hype about the Oscar but just recently watched the movie. I see why it won an Oscar. I watched the movie with a friend of mine who unfortunately cannot stay awake for more than 15 minutes of ANY movie. This movie was so good that he ...
First of all, the VERY first thing I need to say is this-
Do NOT let the previews you've seen of Slumdog Millionaire fool you- this movie is much more than just a contestant appearing on a gameshow, winning money, and winning back his girlfriend for a ...
I remember when the initial "...Millionaire" fever hit the U.S. back in 2000. It struck a chord with us armchair dreamers that with a little incidental knowledge of the most arcane trivia we could be instantly rich. Some nights without the pressure of ...
Very well written, directed, acted, and filmed. After seeing it twice on the Big Screen, bought it for my DVD collection. It's most definitely a keeper. ...
Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" has been described as "Dickensian," and there may be no better description of this heartbreaking, funny, riveting tale of three young kids from the slums of Mumbai.
Much of the story's strength comes from its ...
There are some good books and movies starting to come out of India. If you liked
Slumdog, I think you will certainly like the book : The White Tiger; i suggest the
audiobook version, it follows a similar theme as Slumdog. A beggar from the Darkness of ...
I got around to watching Slumdog Millionaire rather late, having first thought that the Academy was just being kind to Bollywood in a slow year. I was wrong. Slumdog Millionaire is a very well done movie and deserved the Oscar for best picture and ...
If you like Charles Dickens and, to a lesser extent, Horatio Alger, you'll love this movie.
Jamal and his older brother Salim are children of the Bombay (now Mumbai) slums. The viewer is not spared the very apparent misery of those slums and the ...
I am very satisfied with this dvd - there was a problem with the first one and they replaced it with a much better one immediately with no problems. I would recommend using this company for all future dvd's through ...
I will purchase movies from this seller again! Also, Slumdog Millionaire is an interesting title but explains itself quickly in the movie. I've shared it with friends and family and they all loved it! ...
When I first saw just a snipit of this movie (by accident - it was on the tv at the nail salon), I just had to buy it to watch it again - from the beginning. It touches every emotion and "pulls" you in. Not surprised in the least that it won so many ...
This is a heart warming story, especcially in light of the news that the starring role actor is receiving housing and school assistance from the profits of this movie. We have watched it twice and it will be one of our 'special' watch again movies. ...
Slumdog Millionaire brings to life a most unusual but plausible story of a young man who had to raise himself with his brother on the streets of Mumbai and deal with his affection and ever increasing love for a young woman who seems to be pitifully ...
Powerful movie! May be somewhat confusing at times, but it comes together as it continues. It will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat and wanting ...
1. After hearing the hype about this movie for quite some time, I finally watched this movie and... it did live up to the hype.
2. Whatever your preconceptions, this is a great movie: well acted, a compelling story, cleverly written, a universal ...
And that's because it's so good! I loved this movie, though I did find it a bit depressing. It's got a great backstory and the way the filmmakers tied in the stories was nothing short of brillant. It was moving, sometimes funny and sometimes sad, ...
