Slumdog Millionaire
Kommentare (0) An American working as a journalist in India, Matthew Schneeberger, opined:
“Say an Indian director traveled to New Orleans for a few months to film a movie about Jamal Martin, an impoverished African American who lost his home in Hurricane Katrina, who once had a promising basketball career, but who — following a drive-by shooting — now walks with a permanent limp, whose father is in jail for selling drugs, whose mother is addicted to crack cocaine, whose younger sister was killed by gang-violence, whose brother was arrested by corrupt cops, whose first born child has sickle cell anemia, and so on. The movie would be widely panned and laughed out of theaters.”
Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India calls it “a piece of riveting cinema, meant to be savored as a Cinderella-like fairy tale, with the edge of a thriller and the vision of an artist.” She also argues against criticism of the film stating that, “it was never meant to be a documentary on the down and out in Dharavi. And it isn’t.”
And I agree with her!! The pace of this movie is just stunning. It sucks you in until the very end. Thinking about it, you might not like it as much but looking at it I promise you, you will forget about the world and you will feel your heart beat!
I was able to see the movie tonight – on a waaaaayyyy too small laptop while the picture is made to be seen in a theater for you get amazing shots of India. Go and see for its a nice mix between Bollywood & Hollywood
