they payed the kids like. 2 dollars (American money) each. they probably paid the main character like 20 dollars. and the officer (who is famousin indian movies) like 100-1000 dollars. who knows.

all i know is that in india. people work for less than 1 dollar a day each day for the rest of their life. no benefits, no over time, no anything.

what are you talking about? this is what they really do in real life. they take little kids and do experiments with them. the kids really live like that andhave to make a living on thier own. the killings that they have (where to mother dies) happens all the time because there is a war between the differentreligions.

IMO i think the movie deserves whatever it got because it shows how things REALLY happen in india TODAY.

So if I build a computer out of toothpicks, paperclips and a battery and I'm able to post on NikeTalk...does that mean every post I make is certified gold?No.

Ghenges the fact that the movie was entertaining is good enough to tell someone else to see it. I think alot of ppl didnt like it bc alot was in a differentlanguage and ppl are 2 lazy to read subtitles.

 

[ripyzyz]

Before seeing it I tried to deny and almost blind hate on it. I was like it CANT be that good...Probably average at best. But I effs with Danny Boyle so Isaid Ill give it a shot....I did and personally I was AMAZED....no lie. From the pacing, music, editing, and acting, *!$# was on point. SM>>>TDK

well its one of my favorite moves. i really liked it. Its entertainment. I dont want to watch some disturbing old man trying to live his life or some nazihaving sex with some kid.

 

[philly035]

Great movie. Given the budget, the movie still did a fantastic job of delivering the story.

Is it overrated? Probably, but you still cannot deny it is a must see movie. Definately belongs in your movie collection (buy it).

 

[rellnye]

No its not. Its your typical Bollywood film. The only reason it is getting so much praise is because the American movie industry has never seen a film withthat formula before. Watch a few Bollywood movies and you'll see the resemblance.

I'm tempted to post a Russell Peters clip here but the NT regiment will snipe me.

russell peters sucks...states the obvious...i just saw the clip and it isnt relevent to slumdog.

 

[yep617]

i went into watching this movie thinking it was going to be another overrated movie by a foreign director that america fell in love with. But i thought themovie was deserving of the hype. Acting was great, ending was great, emotional without being cheesy. i liked it.

1.) boy meets girl
2.) things happen where they can't be together
3.) they end up together in the end

Relevent.

 

[sirius lee handsome]

Overrated and predictable.

I don't see what everyone was up in arms about.

I think it was some heart on their sleeve type limo liberals that carried this movie to popularity out of sheer guilt. It was aight, but not worthy of thepraise it got and less worthy of the Oscar it received.

Lots of better movies out there in a similar genre

 

[eddiehouse5]

it's a good movie, 7.5/10

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Gotta love NT film critics
