False feel good film with weak premise

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2009)

This film was terrible, am a Indian who watched the movie. I find this movie rubbish. It plays into the "Indian stereotype" It shows India as a very very poor country, with the only job to riches being as customer service representative to Americans. This movie and nominated the movie for Golden Globe and possibly Oscars? Is there a rule within the Oscars where as no Asian film director is allowed to win an Oscar for a South Asian Movie? Because it seems to me that only White Directors are allowed to win? Bollywood is one of the Biggest Film Industries within the world with fantastic creative film directors who would not even get a look through the door at the Oscars, yet here comes a white film director, who has no Idea about Indian Culture, Indian films and now he and his moron writer are getting credited in making a Bollywood film? It just seems ironic that a foreign film director is getting accolade for a Bollywood film? It seems rather racist to me. What about great film directors like Mani Rattman, Ram Gopal Varma, Satyajit Ray, Raj Kapoor, the list is endless..... They have all made fantastic Movies. Yet never credited? Amir Khans Lagaan, and Devdas? Its not even a matter of the film director being White is just seems fake! Oscar accolade is fake! He should be ashamed of even excepting the award.
Selling of world stupid ideas of poverty, that the Western view of any "third world countries".
Danny Boyle doesn't even do justice to the Bollywod tradition of film making.
If this film was made by am South Asian filmmaker, then western media would simply reject it straightaway calling it Bollywood and rubbish. But this is not the case here.
Its made by a white filmmaker, and this is why it gets me so angry. Only a few months ago this film was destined to straight to Video but now its getting press for no reason at all! I also know that the Bollywood directors in India are really unhappy crying in their sleep by this director receiving all these international accolades.
Non-white film directors cant win Oscars.
You cannot ever win an Oscar because you are not a white. As simple as that. Only white directors are allowed to make films in South Asia, Africa etc etc.
A nonsense film and it just goes to show how Racist the Oscars really are.
Its just sad and i hope the industry starts to realise that there are good film directors in the world that are not white you know. 1-10
