SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE... BEST MOVIE OF 2009!





I saw Slumdog Millionaire the other day -- and what an impressive film it was. It is brilliantly directed, wonderfully written and sees delightful actors bring what was written on the pages to life beautifully well.

Slumdog Millionaire is so superior to all the other contenders selected for the Oscars this year in every imaginable way -- so much so that I foresee it will win all the Oscars in all the categories it has been nominated in: Best Cinematography; Directing; Film Editing; Music Score; Music Song; Best Picture; Sound Editing; Sound Mixing; Writing (Adapted Screenplay)!

Through the ages, it is not for no reason that people who have visited India have a renewed outlook on life after visiting that vast land where the cycles of life and death, sadness and laughter do a hypnotic jive -- and the film manages to transfer a bit of that Indian je ne sais quoi onto the silverscreen quite impressively.

Go see this Danny Boyle film if you have not seen it yet. Slumdog Millionaire is going to change the face of the world of cinema!

I loved this movie too!! it's been a while since we had such a sweet and feel good film - you know how human nature we love to support the underdogs against all odds. I'm happy they won so many awards at the Oscars, BAFTA etc.
Also do watch Benjamin Button - a really marvelous film there too, which I think they should have won more...
