Dude if you do Daily reviews does that mean that you watch a fim every single day?

Thats pretty sad...

[durden85]

haha, well I try to...but I usually don't. Watching a movie a day would be pretty awesome if you ask me...it's only 90mins-120mins of your entire day. lol movies rule!

[SteveTheMeek]

I honestly do not understand the hype surrounding the movie. Very, very average and banal story with hardly orginial quiz frame. I prayed for a train to squash the main character at the awful, very happy end.

very disappointed it won so many so important Oscars.

[durden85]

that's so funny you mention the train "squashing the main character" cuz I saw this film twice with two different people and they said in the back of their heads they couldn't help but think how funny it'd be if a train hit Jamal as he was crossing the track...cynical, cynical people HAHA

[meesher]

i was hoping this was gunna be up. i'm so curious about your opinion

[durden85]

well, there you go! LOL i actually think i'd give it a 5/5 now after seeing it twice...it's pretty effin' awesome and I think it SHOULD win Best Picture...although I'm bummed that The Wrestler wasn't nominated. Grrrr. lol

Fallout Boy? LOL, no.

the dance scene at the end of the movie is part of the movie. only if you listen carefully.

[chibangin007]

it was because he told latika that he was going to dance and sing with her before the incident with the other child. remember? he was also singing and dancing and she laughed at him saying that he is a better singer than a dancer. this is the part everyone is forgetting.

[chibangin007]

oh and by the way. about the dance scene. there is a reason they put that scene in the movie. remember before salim tells his brother to come along to see mahanan, he tells latika that he'll be rich one day in a huge house with her and he'll sing and dance with her? thats why they put that scene in the end. which is something he did after becoming rich.

[samoanqweennana]

honey..the dance reflects the whole part of Inda and the culture. they love to dance!

Danny Boyle had 2nd thoughts on it because he didn't want his film to copy or be a bollywood movie and then he made a final decision to include a bollywood dance to make his film complete as he stated that he noticed that everyone there loves to dance & how much he enjoyed India so much.

5/5!!!

I think they put in the dance number at the end because dance is reflective of India and Bollywood- ok it's not a bollywood film but it's representation of india, if not all of it- plus the song won best song at one of the movie awards.
