while perhaps not as good as hyped up to me, the movie was definitely worth the five bucks it cost to go see it. and i was glad that something with that much "realness" made it big in hollywood and that maybe something is being done about the exploitation of children by some who were not even aware of such a problem before. interesting to me that the jamal from this movie will be playing zuko in the upcoming avatar movie, presumably as a way of subduing the outraged apa community over the all white casting of the main characters in the movie. however, he doesn't seem to me to be the right kind of person to play zuko's character, but at least there is some asian representation in a movie based off of almost all asian themes.
but back to slumdog, i thought the way in which the movie was told was nicely laid out with some really gripping moments, maybe a bit predictable and cliched in ending, but certainly not in plot development. i'd definitely recommend seeing it.
[interesting soundtrack...wonder why m.i.a. was in there even if she is sri lankan, and wonder why that last song was in spanish...]
