i really dont like how you broke everything up into different segments for reviewing. it seems totally unnecessary and overly complex. not a fan of the new style at all. if you are going to continue doing reviews in this way, at least have an overall grade. otherwise, your new reviews look unfinished. just my 2 cents...

Hi,
I am from Mumbai - where this movie is based, and I beleive this in many ways a far realistic portrayal of mumbai-street-realism than the other portrayals of India that Hollywood portrays ( e.g. Water, City of Joy)

I do it that way because everyone values different aspects of a film in different ways. This, I admit, was less diverse than most movies in that all the categories were within a grade of each other. But some people need a good story over the technical aspects, or acting over story, and so on. If you want an overall grade it would be an A-.

Very nice review. I liked how you broke it down in 4 segments. I do agree about the older Latika. She is a very pretty girl, but she could have been given more of an opportunity to show more. Nice points about the lighting as well. When I rewatch the movie again, I will pay more attention to that.

Slumdog Millionaire conjoins laughter and tears, bumbling con-artist kids
and television moguls into a pastiche of emotions to test the most self-controlled
viewer. To most American viewers, slums of such suffering and abuses (such as
blinding homeless children, so they may more easily yank the heart strings and
purse strings of potential donors), borders on a viewer's moral disgust.

That a young love, like the centerpiece amor of Slumdog Millionaire, can
persevere, through many trials and much unbearable suffering, spawns
compassion in even the hardest of hearts. For scriptwriters and directors to
avoid the pitfalls of melodrama adds our respect and our highest ratings.

Five Stars and no reservations!

To the people from, the streets of mumbai, u are more than human u are for me true genuine humans, i think the film slumdog millionaire dose portray this in itself, it shows not to disrespect ,poverty doesent make a person mentally disturbed, these are people who for me wear their hearts on their sleeve. The film clearly has put it across that these kids are truly somthing and it dosent matter were they are from i personally feel, there is so much love initself as to the way these children have been brougt up its remarkabe so heartfelt and very emotional, and to know they dont get educated, they teach themselves in world that is realy beautiful for them, Danny boly being an english man to do this film he knows what hes talikng about , respect to him for a brilliant heartfelt movie. To mention the litle kids they are truly beautiful god bless them. This film for me has very natural feelings from the heart, its almost in an emotional sence to relate to this makes the movie come alive, in certain events and aspects of ceratin living, these people in india are remarkable thankyou. The costars of the film were nice too frida pinto very pretty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx god bless Danny boyle
