Last night Leah and I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire – and it’s worthy of the hype, praise and awards. It presents a world so foreign, yet so familiar, that I was instantly hooked. The story, and the way it is presented, is engaging and the characters are completely believable.
Leaving the theatre with a smile on my face I realized that I had just watched a film featuring child slavery, torture, murder, extreme poverty, and religious hate crime yet it left me feeling good. Can you name another movie that satisfies that criteria?
See it on the big screen as some of the scenes deserve it. The direction and editing may also lose a bit when translated to the small screens of home.
