Beyond the words

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2009)

Movies which can lead me to applause when the credits scroll down through the screen are very, very rare. As far as I can remember, I probably did it only twice in a quarter of a century ... Rarer are the movies which can lead me to tears ... Even rarer are the movies which can turbo-charge me with joy and happiness while i leave the theater ...
Slumdog Millionnaire did it. And it did it all at the same time.
Why ? I can't really say why ... With its colorful picture, its intense rhythm, its perfect actors, its fantastic soundtrack, this movie is a real diamond, but other movies deserve these "technical" compliments. The little thing which make it really outstanding is hidden somewhere else ... surely, this movie has a spirit.
