Slumdog Millionaire

This is a really powerful film here. Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy have made an excellent film here about destiny and experience. Dev Patel plays Jamal, a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? He is not a genius, he's not the most intelligent guy. He's an average slumdog. So why does he win 20 Million Dollars? Because his life experiences have given him the answers. Why did he have the neccesary experiences? Because of faith(because it is destiny, because it is written). This film shows us that our life experiences and our destiny dictate who and what we are, whether it is a slumdog or a millionaire, OR BOTH!!!!!

So far this year, this is the best film that i've seen. The acting is good, but not great but i really liked Boyle's direction and i do believe that this may be the best script of the year, by Simon Beaufoy. Great job to everyone involved. I still think that it can be beaten this season, but i guess i'll see.

Slumdog jumps to number 1, while The Visitor at 2, Dark Knight and Paranoid Park behind them and Burn After Reading and Snow Angels just behind them.
