when i saw the movie, overall i liked it...but there were two things that kinda bothered me. one more than the other.

that whole montage with the paper planes song went on forever. it was like they tried too hard, as if it was gonna be a music video or something.

but wtf was with the credits? where the hell did that shit come from?

Probably paying respects to traditional Indian films since the majority of the actors and probably crew are from the region.

If anyone is planning on seeing this at Galaxy next weekend, I highly suggest coming early because of the crowds we have had today and yesterday.

hehe. I would so be in love with her too. I think I have changed wanting to look like Rosario Dawson to looking like Freida Pinto...maybe.

Scars are wicked HAWT!!

I didn't think it was too long at all. Served as some comic relief, and getting on a train and just popping up in the next area too quick would be equally lame.

And the credit sequence was AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING.

1/19/2009 12:39:50 AM

i think this film has nearly every movie cliche of all-time in it

traditional bollywood movies have random dance sequences throughout the movie. so as a joke they put a sequence in at the end. i personally laughed my head off when i saw that

^ he spent all of his money on electronics?

1/23/2009 9:31:35 PM

the credits made the movie as a whole

i even felt it was coming on before it even started...i almost leaned over to my lady to say, "i bet they start dancing," but it happened before i could

it felt good at the end to feel the happiness of the dance and the song in contrast to the violence

1/23/2009 9:57:59 PM

wonderful!!

1/30/2009 11:47:31 PM

it will be a travesty if this movie doesn't win an oscar for best film. not that awards mean everything, but you know what i'm sayin

1/31/2009 1:29:04 AM

Frost/Nixon shouldn't win because of the oversympathetic tones towards Nixon.
Benjamin Button shouldn't win because it is a poor film.
I haven't seen Milk or The Reader.

But yeah, I hope this wins.

1/31/2009 2:32:26 AM

I saw this last night at the Carolina. One of the better movies I've seen the past few years.

I was really depressed about what they did to some of the beggar kids ....guess it shows the
reality of slum life.

2/1/2009 1:44:13 PM

well, this was a fictional movie.

2/1/2009 2:55:23 PM

Loved it.

2/8/2009 3:32:08 PM

what is this oscar shyte, i will stick to my iron man and dark knight thank you

2/8/2009 7:29:39 PM

^^ cant say for sure about the blind singers (i wouldnt be surprised) but ive seen the beggar kids in the street, thats pretty much what they look like.

2/9/2009 9:25:09 AM

Awesome movie. Just watched it.

2/18/2009 1:13:27 AM

pretty good, liked it a lot.

When they were thrown from the train and hit the ground, they also aged about 5 years and learned to speak english.

So I think that "music video" scene might have served as a montage. If it felt long, that's because a lot of time was passing.

I dunno, I thought the entire film was brilliant.

2/18/2009 1:37:06 AM

^ well, duh.

2/18/2009 1:41:36 AM

I liked the whole paper planes montage.

2/18/2009 1:51:17 AM

me too.


there was one part that bugged me, but I cant remember what it was, so must not have been too bad.


I do wish that he had called the mobster dude to answer the cricket question, that would have been awesome

^ that is sad they are still living in the slums considering the roles they had in this movie.

I did read articles about how they got paid something like 10 times the average adult salary and how their schooling and transportation to school has been paid for and once they graduate they get even more money.

So, a month of filming essentially set them up for a much brighter future.

2/19/2009 11:55:00 AM

I love this movie.

2/20/2009 4:48:44 PM

woohooo best picture!!!

for all you haters out there

2/23/2009 11:11:42 AM

maybe i should watch it again, but i didn't think the movie was anything special.

2/24/2009 1:47:17 AM

^ you should watch it again. i just did tonight. great film.

2/24/2009 1:48:46 AM

c'mon this movie was good, but best picture???

the movie business ain't what it used to be apparently.

Freida is still worthy however

2/24/2009 7:47:18 AM

saw it last night...its a average movie, i didnt think it was the greatest thing I ever saw...

it was pretty predictable that once the girl got the phone he was going to call her for the answer

^agreed, except this movie deserved to win

2/24/2009 11:19:18 AM

I am so happy there are other people out there who didn't think this movie was the best thing since sliced bread.

i haven't seen slumdog and i doubt it's amazing or anything, but people who criticize a movie because it's not a difficult enough plot puzzle to solve are silly.

hah, did you even watch the movie?

It was the 2nd best movie I've seen in the past year, doesn't sniff my all time top 10 or anything crazy like that.

2/24/2009 1:32:17 PM

finally saw it today.

AMAZING!

3/14/2009 10:15:40 PM

loved this movie. when I saw it though, I had the unfortunate displeasure of sitting near the two most obnoxious movie-goers I've ever had to put up with probably. luckily it didnt totally ruin the movie for me.

They talked constantly throughout the movie, and werent really even making an attempt to whisper and they kept making stupid comments. The one girl would watch a simple scene like the water bottle scene and then ask "wait what was he doing?" and the other girl would explain to her...and this happened several times during the movie. They also proceeded to eat their popcorn louder than I thought was possible, and squeak the straw up and down and slurp their drinks...it was pretty amazing how rude they were..and they were probably like late 20s...not some HS girls or something.

but outside that the movie was awesome

3/14/2009 10:23:00 PM

The Wrestler was better.

3/14/2009 11:04:12 PM

Great Movie!!
