Slumdog Millionaire e bine facut, chiar spectaculos, dar nu mai mult decit o melodrama stil Bollywood, in culori vii, un film de public perfect.
Pentru mine nici un film de Danny Boyle nu a fost satisfacator (de la Trainspotting, that is, doar 28 Days Later ), acesta e un soi de revizitare la propriul Millions imbinat cu Cidade de Deus. Filmat in India, real Bollywood, in Mumbai, povestea “celor 3 muschetari”, bazat pe un roman intitulat Q & A. Dar e genul de film de iubit si iata locul 68 in topul 250 imdb (sa vedem cum va rezista). Prea voit irezistibil, de fapt un film de dragoste redefinit de numarul muzical de pe genericul final, “about people, for the people”
Scenele difera de la extrem de cheesy (desi cuvintul nu e potrivit), cind micul Jamal sare in cacat pentru a lua un autograf de la Amitabh Bachchan, star local si primul host al jocului TV Cine vrea sa fie milionar ?, la dramatic, in episodul exploatarii micutilor in cersetorie de catre banditi ticalosi.
Imaginea, perfectionista, de Anthony Dod Mantle, DOP pentru Winterberg si Lars Von Trier, adoptat de Boyle la 28 Days Later, dar finalmente un videoclip de durata epica (si se ia lumea de Ridley Scott, Boyle suferea de mult de clipism)

Deja o tona de premii, numit de multi din criticii americani cel mai bun film al anului, 4 nominalizari la Globul de aur si sigur nominalizat la Oscar !
mi-a placut cronica din cinema de merde:
So of my two friends I attended with, one hated it, and one loved it. The one who hated it asked me why I thought it was so popular amongst the general public, and I said I think that people can come in—possibly after a long day of holiday shopping—and see India, so they feel like they’ve seen something exotic, and see slums and torture, so they feel like they’ve seen something serious and realistic, and then it ends up with a giant big soppy love story, so they can walk out saying that not only did they see this serious, realistic movie, with like torture and stuff, that takes place in India—but they LOVED it! And that makes them all feel like generally better people. And yeah, I think that’s what this movie has got to sell.
