My Review of Slumdog Millionaire

I personally thought it was the best movie of my generation.
It combined an interesting plot, realistic characters, and a not-too-flamboyant romance all into one stupendous package.
I was joking with my friend earlier about how I loved the movie more then my family :)
It is literally that good.
I thought each scene was filled with such intensity, yet it was still always modest.
And I loved how they could explain such a gruesome tale, but not get too gory.
For example, when Maman and his "friend", I suppose you could say, poor acid in his eyes to blind him, they showed you just enough so you got the picture of how terrible these people were, but didn't make a scene that could be used in "Saw Five".
Everything about the movie kept me on the edge, dying to know what was happening next, and even through the drama, still managed to intertwine appropriate humor.
And ofcourse the romance was to die for, and I was extremely pleased with how limited the "cheesy" factor was. Most movie romances are too extreme with the cheese, yet Slumdog Millionaire was perfect.
I rate it an A+++++, and I wish there was a grade higher then that, because I want to rate it more.
I have seen it about 40 times and I still get just as excited as the first time I saw it.
Absolutely beautiful.
What do you think?

Ok i'll agree with the fact that the romance they showed between Jamal and Latika was done pretty well. Probably the best part of the movie was how they showed the romance between them. And how Salim finally decided to do something right for a change and look what that got him. I love irony so that worked for me. The movie was alright but I didn't find it especially interesting.

in the sentence that says "poor acid in the eyes to blind him," poor should be "pour". Sorry, I just pick out stiff like that. Other than that I enjoyed your article and totally agree with the idea that it is the best movie of our generation!
