Slumdog Millionaire

03rd Jan, 2009

Well, what can I say about this movie, it was a pleasure to watch this. And the way it's sweeping up all sorts of awards everywhere, it's proving to be a big hit. A story about how a poor guy from the Indian slums makes it big, a film about love, a film about the poverty in Mumbai, and about how his life experiences have got him so far in "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", all in all a very well made movie, and I would highly recommend anyone to go watch this. Although I did find Anil Kapoors character ( the host of "who wants to be a millionaire" in the movie ) to be a bit obnoxious for my
liking, but the rest of the movie easily made up for this.

So, a big Well Done to a certain Mr Danny Boyle...

I was pleasantly surprised with this film as to how good it was. It's a film that played on my personal fears, as in, why would someone take up a job at a burnt out department store, as a security guard and work night shifts when there's no electricity, I for one would never take such a job. Yes, i know it's only a movie, but a good movie it was. I think Kiefer Sutherland played his part well as the security guard haunted by some evil presence inside mirrors, which uses your own reflection to kill you. It's a good movie with some scary scenes in it, and I think most people will like the little twist to end of the film.
