An amazing feast for the eyes, mind and heart.
When I first heard about Slumdog Millionaire, I had no interest in seeing it. As the hype grew for the film and it won an Oscar, it made me even less interested in seeing the film.
It was On Demand for free the other day and I thought there's no better way to watch it so I gave it a shot and boy am I glad I did.
When I first heard about the plot of the film, I couldn't see how they could make it work. To say that the back story flashbacks and the game show scenes are weaved together seamlessly would be an understatement.
From the very beginning the viewer is meant to care for the characters in the film. Even as they grow older, it's believable that they are the same person.
Danny Boyle does a great job at capturing the streets of Mumbai. It's filled with life and color even in the face of poverty. Slumdog Millionaire is literally a film that will appeal to everybody. Young, old and everybody in between.
I also think that wherever you are in the world, this movie will touch you. I can honestly say it's one of the most original films you will ever see.
If you are on the fence about watching this film, take it from me, you will not regret it.
