  • i have honestly never been so moved by a film..

    it really is touching.

  • It's an amazing movie! So bright, dynamic and exiting!)

    One thing which makes me sad are far-fetched opinions of some people. I'm sure Danny Boyle didn't try to show India how "trash country". And of course he's not a rasist. Why do people try to find nonexistent implication in this film...

  • rags to riches yeah, but this has a deeper meaning behind it, fate. and that good things can happen to good people, also the thing with his brother showed about repenting, and unbreakable love within, and to top it all of its set in the background of india (poverty)..so you see there are many different aspects of this movie which have made it different to any other 'rags to riches'

  • I see your point, but personally I liked the direction and actors a lot.

  • Capricorn83 I agree! This is the typical rags to riches thru struggle story line with the boy gets girl ending that Westerners love but there is nothing new in this film! I would have liked it if the main character failed, he reflected on the conditions in which he lives in and made a statement about the human condition but that would have made it a French film. ;) I mean the dance thing at the end credits, yes I know its an India thing but it doesn't have anything to do with the story!

  • Yes people like what they are told to like but that doesn't make it a good film. People liked Madonna but that doesn't make it good music. Awards do not mean its good film. If we want to hand out awards for things that make people feel good but have no substance or art we should give oscars out to a bottle of booze also. That makes people feel good and comes in pretty packages also.I think the western movie industry just lobbied the Academy so it could market a film with Indian sensiblites

  • it's gotten awards, millions of people love it, so you are kind of outnumbered. But opinions make the world go round!
