SlumDog brings in that freshness of the same old 'suppression'. <br /><br />A perfect example of such a film would be "Hurricane" Carter played by denzel washington...The only difference being THAT STORY WAS BASED ON REALITY.

We make films here which we want the oscars to recognise, common lets get real.<BR/>We live with slums around us we despise but it took some slum dwellers to pull it off with a movie that got some oscars. Boyle remains calm about it all and speaks highly of india. But we jokers want to criticize with the little maturity we have. <BR/><BR/>These are issues not meant for celebrities in india to comment on. They should be left to comment on 5-star subjects. comment on films when they start making some good films. Maybe De should write a script with Bachan in the lead and then leave it to Rahman and Resul to pull off another oscar.

I was telling him that slums and whores and goons are as much a reality as the booming realty is. Danny called a spade a spade. Big Deal! Can we cross our hearts and proclaim that what he has portrayed is but a myth? No, we can't. <BR/><BR/>We speak of firangi minds seeing india as a nation of snakes, discrimination and making mazaak of our gareebi(the non existance)? <BR/><BR/>lets jhaank in our girebaan... Even today, throw a movie on ichadhari naagins to the audience, And we will be a wonderful catch. The tickets will sell as hot cakes would. <BR/><BR/>And are we okie with being called rich in our movies?<BR/><BR/>We as a nation are always sorry to be rich. The rich is often associated with the spoilt brat slutty image. I can't understand though why? Have we ever heard of a success story where the protagonist is rich and got richer? NOT OFTEN!We make a virtue of being poor. We like it that way. <BR/><BR/>And regarding Boyle doing injustice... I ask with teh same intensity of emotion... why should we expect a firang to not show the part of India "as is", when our own desi breed of director sahebs have not done it. Hasn't Formula Bhandarkar, Mumbai Meri jaan, etc etc have not exploited this side of Mumbai? <BR/><BR/>Athithi devo bhava is a thing of the past. We are not even grateful to a director who made a real movie on our city and got our boy a golden globe. Yes, there were bits in the film that I felt terribly revolted. But I could decipher the truth from the unreal. <BR/><BR/>Now, I make it a point that I engage in a discussion with a visually impaired or physically challenged bhikharis and ask them about their whereabouts, slumdog exposed the nexus, that was not unknown! a sensation that had not prevailed in me until I saw slumdog millionare. (No, even bhandarkars traffic signal didnt kindle the spark in me). thank you Boyle. I just was repelled by the idea of the Title.. SLUMDOG??? though I have no issues with the content, but the title. He called slummers in bombay a DOG? where are the bombay greats who changed the city's name and demanded sign boards in marathi? <BR/><BR/>This was the only aspect that was unreal. We dont call the slumdwellers dogs. Boyle got the essence right, but spoiled it all with a brash abusive title. <BR/><BR/>What extensive research lovleen and boyle would have tried? I can imagine the pre production research. It is anything but easy. <BR/><BR/>speaking about your book, I am happy that so many people would be reading your books.And I am not surprised that people asked you to By teh way, I have a personal request, write about pale and sick India. Print one in Punjabi for Sonam Kapoor na. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Dressing for golden globe? hehheheh. They need to be given lessons on etiquette. In this aspect they are terribly uneducated and too shy to admit. Toh naturally na De, diasterich hoyega na. <BR/><BR/><BR/>What Amitabh has done is worth the attention. I suppose that was his intention. What the f? You are still on De's blog? Let's give the angry young man what he truly wishes. "Move over to Amitabh's blog", I say!<BR/><BR/>lol :-)Harishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609011423304441643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-15902472457117324402009-01-16T15:30:00.000+05:302009-01-16T15:30:00.000+05:30i fail to understand the big deal of our stars "no...i fail to understand the big deal of our stars "not dressing up".

As a big fan of movies of all genre, I thought Dark Knight was hands down the best movie of the year (2008) until I saw Slumdog. For start to end this movie was amazing. The music, story, acting, direction and list goes on. I am not saying this was better then Dark Knight but they were equally amazing and I was very fortunate to have 2 movies last year that I'll remember for many years.<BR/>Bollywood only likes to show glamorous India, because the other side of India is what 95% lives in, and hence would not like to see a movie with the same backdrop. Whats different about this is that it starts of grabbing you in the Gut with almost nauseating imagery and gradually turns it into a ravishing delicacy and leaves you mouth watering for more. A true masterpiece captured with stunning visuals and exhilarating music to match. Definitely one of the 100 films you must see before you die.rainboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884782002088989668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-27027668133372218892009-01-15T23:50:00.000+05:302009-01-15T23:50:00.000+05:30AB's comments have reassured me that its a cla...AB's comments have reassured me that its a classic case of indians pulling down indians.Its clear that he must be miffed cause SRK was invited & not him.Cause if he feels so strongly, then why does he himself attend Cannes & other such international festivals?And what about aishwarya rai desparately trying her luck in hollywood?<BR/>I think its a proud moment for all us Indians, that Indian talent was acknowledged and noticed.<BR/>As regards dress sense, well I too was a little surprised on seeing SRK's tie tucked under his shirt style.But I feel overall everyone was well dressed.There is no need to wear Indian clothes for award functions in the west.Do these actors wear Indian clothes even to our award functions?So long as they are well dressed!CoolShamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168182824222204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-66541286396092947562009-01-15T23:33:00.000+05:302009-01-15T23:33:00.000+05:30Good to see Shobha De's blog, that's the beauty of...Good to see Shobha De's blog, that's the beauty of web-connected world!<BR/><BR/>Somehow we all have this misconception that slumdog is an Indian movie, which it is not, it is more of one artist's imagination of another in an imaginary world.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-GirishPanduram Ganpathrao Dhulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193885663316564360noreply@blogger.com
