Seriously, Joey? No Trainspotting? No 28 Days later? That’s strange. I thought seeing Trainspotting was a pre-req to film school. Throw that on your Netflix queue now!

Yes, Boyle did an amazing job. The CNN article says he had never even been to India before Slumdog. This also makes me want to catch up on Boyle’s filmography. His only other film I’ve seen is Sunshine.

The child actors were amazing – I’d love to know how they were cast. And I would have loved to have seen more of Pinto, for reasons other than overhyped-ness.

@keonne – I got it on iTunes. It’s only $8.99. Or get it from the Amazon link above and I’ll split the 2 cents I get as an affiliate.

I saw Slumdog Millionaire today. Boyle has really done a good job with this movie. While the movie deals with the gory details of the underbelly of Mumbai, it doesnt really leave you with a sick feeling. The story feels like a commentary and at the end you just feel good about the whole movie. Very well done I must say.

The music score by Rehman is amazing, the actors who played junior Jamal and Salim were the real stars. They were simply too good. Freida Pinto had just 15 mins of screen presence. I think she was overhyped.

I told you you’d like it.

Glad you finally saw it. Hook me up with that soundtrack.

Where did you see it? Miracle? Student Life? Going to have to agree on it being the best of 2008. The roommate got a screener at work, and I’ve watched it twice now.
