Everyone that loves the triumph of good fates over bad purpose should spend some of their entertainment dollar on "Slumdog Millionaire."
Not only topical because of its Mumbai setting, it tells a multi-dimensional story and archetypical tale of brothers, lovers and the struggle to survive against all the fates in a land where most have little and less to expect.
Brilliant, uplifting and life affirming.
"Slumdog Millionaire" will wrench your heart, give you palpitations and then resuscitate your faith in the individual and their good fate.
I'll go out on the line and predict this foreign film will not only garner an Oscar nod for "Best Picture" but will win it to boot. Mr. O'Reilly has stated he believes that "Milk" will be the best picture owing to Hollywood's involvement in Prop 8 in California, however, I think "Slumdog Millionaire" is transcendental and will prevail over all parochialism.
What a movie.
