Also great look at how poverty affects India and how the coming capitalist wave is transforming India into something that might signal bad times ahead. Funny, uplifting, sweet, violent, lovely. a perfect film, Masterwork.
http://www.youtube.com/wa...II_TAJ2BBY http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related Movie of the year but for different reasons. It hangs on a gimmick and by not losing faith in that sleight of hand, delivers the best movie I've seen in over a year. It's not about what it pretends to be about and boiled down it's a fairy tale. And knowing all this, you will still enjoy it. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Co-Sign (City of Men and Bus 174, other Brazilian movies worth catching.) I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

I have a friend who saw it because I have the DVD and it is his favorite movie, ever. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

Yes, but that predictability works. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

1. Slumdog is awesome 
2. City of God was simply STUNNING, unforgettable
3. Why in the fuck do people keep referring to it as "Benjamin ButtonS"???

It makes me physically ill - no joke. In that case there is one scene in particular in Slumdog that you will absolutely HATE. | |
