OMG! this movie is constantly getting great reviews... ARR choice
of choosing to score the music for this movie amongst his busy schedule is a
great decision.

Slumdog Millionaire
Danny
Boyle has been one of the most creative and interesting directors of
the last ten years but has gotten very little recognition during that
time period. His films usually do moderately well at the box office and
then develop a bigger fan base when released on DVD. Some of his works
including Trainspotting and 28 Days Later are among the great genre
films in recent years. Sooner or later Boyle was going to have a
masterstroke and he now has it in Slumdog Millionaire.
Jamal
Malik (Dev Patel) is a kid from the slums of Mumbai who happened to
become a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to be a
Millionaire? On the show he answers every questions correctly leading
up to the final question just as the show runs out of time. As he
leaves the studio he is taken by the police on suspicion of cheating.
Jamal explains to the authorities how he knew the answers to all the
questions, describing his life story in the process.
Every
aspect of Slumdog Millionaire is excellent. The story is unique and
crosses multiple genres like drama, comedy, romance and crime allowing
for a wide range of emotions from the audience. There are no actors in
the cast that you will be familiar with but the performances are
exemplary, especially by the children that play a younger Jamal and his
brother.
Personally
I have never seen any Bollywood films but the fact that Boyle was able
to go into India and get the cast that he did proves that there is a
lot of talent to be unveiled there. Perhaps this could lead to us
seeing a more diversified crop of actors in mainstream films going
forward and no Harold and Kumar is not what I am looking for. Anyway
that is a topic for another day.
Anthony
Dod Mantle's wonderfully crisp cinematography should be receiving
technical accolades later this year. He had previously worked on 28
Days Later and The Last King of Scotland. The soundtrack is
outstanding. A.R Rahman orchestrated the score and M.I.A (Paper Planes)
also contributes. Of course Boyle always has fast paced and intense
editing in his films and this one is no exception.
There
have been rumblings that Slumdog Millionaire will be this year's Little
Miss Sunshine or Juno. Interestingly enough all three movies are
distributed by Fox Searchlight which is also releasing The Wrestler
this year and is evidently a brilliantly run company both in terms of
development and promotion.
As
to whether or not it's this year's Little Miss Sunshine or Juno I both
agree and disagree. It will, or should be the film that gets nominated
for awards and that no one saw coming a few months ago. It will not do
as well at the box office as the other two movies because it lacks the
star power. However it is better than both Little Miss Sunshine and
Juno.
If you ask me right now what the best film of 2008 is so far, I would say
Slumdog Millionaire. Final answer.
A+
