I may be a little late on the Slumdog Millionaire wagon, but i watched it last might having rented it in the mail from Lovefilm and i really thought all its Oscars so well deserved. It was beautifully shot,(by the wonder that is Danny Boyle) you felt like you were emmersed in the story not just watching as an outsider.
Dev Patel, who i'd seen in channel 4's Skins was amazing, combining the raw experiences of living as a street child,that naturally you have to be tough to survive, while at the same time there was a remaining vulnerablity in his eyes,spirit and actions.
Frieda Pinto's role though surprisingly small in terms of lines, had great impact, her beauty being more than on the surface,she just radiated it. They both captured and held your attention,if not your heart and i was really rooting for them to unite as a couple.
Love meaning more than any amount of money ever could, was what Jama and Latika epitomised.if you've not seen it(which i'm sure you have)then try to. Oh and the music is pretty cool too Xx
