This one took me by surprise.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2009)

I really wasn't expecting this movie, I just started watching and then kept watching and watching. This is a great movie, I'm a fan of the show "who wants to be a millionaire?" so I wanted to see what this movie was about and I can tell you, it won't disappoint. Danny Boyle uses flashbacks to tell the story of this boy, his memories, life experiences; but does so in a way that just flows and you don't get confused or feel cheated by what's happening, instead you sympathize and want to know more. That's the thing about this film, it's human. No smokes and mirrors here, just pure human emotion and a heart felt story. I think this is a perfect movie, or at least very close to be, it doesn't make the mistakes that many films seem to make these days. I think it's sad that this masterpiece doesn't get as much publicity as other movies which aren't so good do.
10/10
