wow! I remember WALKING OUT OF "Trainspotting" at the heroin withdrawal scene of the baby with the razor blades...IT WAS THE SOUNDTRACK that propelled me through to that point though...
Trainspotting was very dismal, but oddly cool! I see the SAME DNA in SLUMDOG: the story of the borderline fringes of society who in fact show how "abnormal" society itself is..! Slumdog is more family-palatable than Trainspotters was. Also common, killer soundtrack. I want to buy the CD. If you're Indian, you know AR RAHMAN's music...man is he SOLId! Madhur Mittal is going big time! He looks super cool. Hope he gets more notice.
This movie is poignant, funny, memorable one for all time. BUT I Don't LIKE THAT SILLY GAMESHOW: 'who wants to be a ...$$$'.
