This movie is the over rate of this year just as Juno was last year, this kinds of movie just should only receive awards like Best Screenplay. Don’t get me wrong. I truly love this film with the many minimal faults that it had. One of the issues that I had with the films was that characters, they were so flat and no interesting at all. Latika was the girl that was forced into a marriage to a mobster, and she wouldn’t do anything to help herself and waited for Jamal to do it for her. Seriously? Just as any major Hollywood movie. Now that I think about I caught myself praising about that movie for what I made me feel at the theater, but many films touch me with really sad scenes, we just have to go back really think overall how the whole films truly holds together.
In Hollywood, I think you either go left or right, meaning that you either make a movie or you make a film. Slumdog Millionaire was a really good movie, but I feel it didn’t have enough honesty to be a film. Including that sugar over coating of the slums of Mumbai that it felt that it was just begging for awards. For this and Other reasons this movie shouldn’t have gotten the Golden Globe for Best Motion Film. Maybe I’m wrong because I don’t think to high of the Golden Globes either anymore, maybe they deserve each other for over hyping movies that don’t deserve that much attention; and for wanting attention just to sell more tickets at the Box Office.
Wow, I am really impressed by this post. I mean don't get me wrong I loved Slumdog but you make a great point about the characters. I think this film was different by how it told a story, just like how Curious Case was different because the story was told differently (man aging backwards).
