Great movie
) 
Slumdog millionaire won 8 Oscars, another 87 wins & 27 nominations at other award venues. So my expectations were high.
Slumdog absolutely lived up to the hype. It was amazing, one of the best movies that has been made in a long time. Can you believe that this movie was almost released straight to DVD. This is the first film since Schindler's List to win Best Picture, Director and Screenplay at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and the Oscars.
Danny Boyle's direction in this movie sucked me in from the get go. From the opening moments until the final scene, I was fully engaged. Such as, when the young Jamal got locked into the bathroom and jumps into the excrament to get the autograph of his favorite celebrity. It was all at once quickly moving, romantic, violent and culturally insightful. The film was shot on location in India, mostly in Mumbai. Slumdog Millionaire is another testament of the depth of Danny Boyle, who has directed other films like Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Sunshine.
Weirdly, to me, the story seemed to be told like the movie "Joe Dirt" and the dance at the end reminded me of the "Napolian Dynamite" Dance. Don't know why
I hope this was somewhat helpful thank you.

Danny Boyle has been a favorite of mine since I saw Shallow Grave, since then he's gone on to make three masterpieces(Trainspotting,28 Days Later and Millions), a near perfect film(Sunshine) a guilty pleasure(The Beach) and a total miss(A Life Less Ordinary). Slumdog Millionaire comes out of nowhere and it could very well be his best film and one of the best films of the decade. Visually like Boyles previous work it's stunning, Apocalypse Now and City of God come to mind and there are dutch angles galore. The raw style mixed with the amazing locations make this film one of the most cinematic experiences you'll ever see. The Sound is perfect, I haven't heard audio like this in a while. This film needs a Sound Oscar nomination, it sounds that good. I went into seeing this knowing very little about it and the person I took with me didn't know anything about it, so I'll just say it's about a young man that goes on Indias Who Wants to be a Millionaire, it's a very unconventional film where they tell the story of his life in flashbacks while he plays the game. It's funny, sad, thrilling, basically a very enjoyable film that deserves numerous Oscar nominations. Also the lead actress is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, if she isn't a huge star after this I'd be extremely surprised. If the academy doesn't honor this film with numerous nominations it will be a shame but this film will be studied in 20 years and whoever sees this will love it, so even if it doesn't get a single nomination it won't matter. Don't miss this film, it's perfect!
