SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE -2009

director: Danny Boyle ( also the directed Trainspotting)

won oscar award for Best Picture...Best Original score...

Before oscar hailed this movie to be this year's best picture. I was already curious to watch this flick but really didn't have the time, and when i finally did...it never dissapointed me.

I myself must admit that i love watching indian flicks, bollywoodish kind of genre, so this movie was definitely interesting for me. What attracted me the most were not the actors who played in this movie, rather, it was how the director draws us inside the culture and the history that is India. Inspired by a book called Q & A. It is a fast pace movie, not the slow ones where it gets boring in the middle...He showed us what the real India is, the good and the bad side of it. It begins with questions seem unanswered but it ends with a triumphant hope. A typical bollywood as some might say, but certainly of a different twist. I won't spare you much of the details... you just have to watch this movie to appreciate life and how poverty can be powerful in times of despair and loss. Ost- was also very nice, been listening it for a while, my favorite track would be- MIA.

same genre:
