Slumdog Millionaire

How the fuck did this win the Oscars?


ITT: Discuss.

Because it was 'different'. I liked it, but I liked the Wrestler a fuck of a lot more.
Apparently it caused a spike in child sponsoring in India. Liking this movie seems to be a fad.

[Struwwelpeter]

Because it was a movie about brown people.

I actually really, really liked it. It definitely stood out from a vast majority of the same old movies that my friends and I go to see... It was a pretty profound movie, I'd recommend it.

Because it's different, along with the fact that it's an awesome film in many ways. The only thing I hated about it was the credits sequence. The characters dancing to stupid music really killed all of the emotion of the movie and was reeking of gay.

I do think that it deserved some of its oscars, but with others, like the music-related oscars, i think it was because it didnt really have that much competition.

overall, i thought the movie was quite well done. It took me a while to understand how much the story of the Three Musketeers fits into it.

The beginning was quite a bore for me, but it was necessary. what i didnt like was the constant changing of Jamal's brother as a good guy or bad guy. I think it would have been better if he was consistently a bad guy, even in childhood, to provide a bit of contrast at the end.

Overall, great movie, and not just because i liked the Bollywood dance number at the end.

Seen it, but wasn't too interested in it. It was okay nothing great.

But his brother was a cunt even as a kid. Remember how he locks Jamal in the toilet? Then sells his autograph? Yeah.

i know, but he also saved his eyes from the child recruiters. thats what was so confusing about him.

Well I'm sure he wasn't so heartless as to let them take his brother's eyes... Meh, 'twas a good movie regardless. 7 thumbs up!

I hate to say it but Jim is pretty much right on this one...

1. Get huge budget
2. Film poor people with ruined lifes
3. Inject it with a cheesy love story about a girl who'd rather whore herself out to some sadistic, rich fat guy than go on the run with the "love of her life"
4. Cause white people to go on a guilt-trip and then save them in the end by a happy ending so they can leave feeling a-okay
5. ?????
6. Receive Oscar

Agreed, the credits were a huge WTF moment.

Exactly, Imagine this movie being about poor whites in america with the same plot and dialog and everything. Wouldn't have nearly as good ratings...
