Slumdog Millionaire
A well made film, well acted and I liked the use of the show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as a framing device. However, the story breaks no new ground and very quickly you realize where the course of events is leading, a path from which it does not deviate. We have seen this story before. For those of you who have been to India it might resonate differently, perhaps more strongly, than it did with me.
Not a bad film at all, but I do wonder about all the accolades it is collecting. Best Film of the Year? Not for me but still a worthwhile trip to the cinema.
