Yea this movie really did remind me of City of God, although I think I enjoyed SM more than CoG.

 

City of God just seemed like there was too much violence and shooting. Every other scene someone was getting shot. I dont enjoy watching some of that gruesome stuff.

Finally, someone else besides me that has seen City of God!!! The way I look it at is, CoG is a true story and from all accounts that is how it happened. I guess I just don't like taking the easy way out, I want things given to me how it happened, and if that includes violence, so be it.

If you liked Slumdog, You need to see the "Lagaan."

 

Its another Indian Bollywood type movie. Very entertaining.

Thanks, I'll have to do that soon.

Well I just ordered the movie off Amazon and watched it tonight. My only reaction possible is WOW. This movie was truly amazing and lived up to the hype completely.

^ Agreed. I REALLY didn't think this was one of my movies, but I truly enjoyed it.

I saw this the other day and wasn't as impressed as some of you must have been. It was good but not great.

Finally saw it last night. Really liked it! I may watch it a second time. I think it is one of those movies that need to be watched twice.

I watched it on Sunday. Thought it was a pretty good movie.

 

Having been to India a few times, it still a heart jerker when you see those kids out begging on the streets knowing they're probably not begging for themselves but for some guy standing on the corner in nice clothes and a fat wallet.

Saw it last night for the first time. My wife can never stay awake past 10pm on a weeknight, but this movie kept her entranced the entire time. Just a remarkable film.

 

Story is about an 18 year old Indian orphan who is on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire but is suspected of cheating. But that is just where he is now. It constantly flashes back to his life growing up from when his mother is killed and all that he and his brother Salim go through. Just an absolutely remarkable story and film.

 

I believe I have to buy this one now on DVD. I didn't know what to expect. The best movie I have seen in several years.

Agreed. I love how the flash-backs always connect to what's happening in the movie. There not just random, incoherent flash backs.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on, but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

^ Agreed...It really was an excellent movie
