A sheer delight from beginning to end!

I just want to say very briefly that Slumdog Millionaire is a very beautiful film, I absolutely loved it. If you have not yet seen this film in the cinema and you are thinking about it then I urge you to stop thinking and go see it! You will not be disappointed. This film has everything - epic romance at its heart, emotion in bucket-loads, action, drama, tension and tragedy. Having been bitterly disappointed by my last two film outings at the cinema..i won't mention their names as they are not worthy of it..i'll just say that one of them was about a guy in a silly bat suit with a silly voice and the other was about a guy who works for the British Secret Service. Both of these films were total rubbish, boring and a total waste of my time and money and sitting through them had dulled my enthusiasm big-time for seeing anything else on the big screen. Seeing Slumdog Millionaire though has totally blown these 'dulled' feeling away and so at last I am back, revelling in the after glow of seeing such a brilliant, beautifully made film. Slumdogs director - Danny Boyle and his team of film makers deserve every award they receive.
It was so refreshing to watch a film where it was all up there on the big screen, a film where you absolutely get your money's worth, a film after which when you walk from the theatre you have this wonderful, satisfying feeling flowing through you. All credit to the excellent cast, they are all truly great actors some of which were only as young as seven years old. The photography, the direction, the acting, the storyline..all of it was simply fantastic. I have read that Slumdog Millionaire is the feel good film of the decade and, having just seen it, I totally agree. Please take my advice and go see it!
