last night we finally saw slumdog millionaire. i don’t exactly know what i was expecting from the start but my god. utterly.blown.away.
i was definitely not expecting such a heart-stoppingly beautiful film. of course, everything that danny boyle does is fantastic, and i should’ve known better. trying not to judge the movie on hype alone (everyone i know has been telling me to watch it) we put it on late last night after not really much consideration. just one of those “oh man, i hate tv let’s watch a movie” things. definitely NOT disappointed.
this is a fast-paced, gritty, heavy-ass movie. a lot of it is fucked up and harsh, but really beautiful and moving at the same time. says the boy “it’s like an indian version of requiem for a dream”. it’s the kind of movie that totally punches you in the gut just to get your attention.
and normally i am not a fan of the generally “heartwarming” story. but this was done in such a way that it was fantastic, and if you get a happy ending it’s ok cuz it’s fucking earned.
love this movie.
love it.
