With Slumdog Millionaire having already won a shedload of awards and being 'the greatest feel good film of the decade', Danny Boyle has clearly rebuilt his reputation after Sunshine failed to impress.Slumdog is brilliantly done and tells the story in an original way. My favourite scenes are most definately the ones showing Jamal and Salim when they're still children, some of the shots of Mumbai's slums are fantastic. The actors portraying the young incarnations of the characters are fantastic and I cannot stress that enough. Dev Patel (of Skins) is also brilliant showing that he is a more than capable on the big screen.
It got a bit sugary towards the end for my liking, but I was anticipating it because it is a feel good film and it's done brilliantly in the mainstream charts. I would definately go and see it, if only to see what all the hype is about.
