I watched Slumdog Millionaire with high expectations as I had already seen and loved The Curious Case of Bejamin Button and knew that it had lost the Oscar to Slumdog. Not only were my expectaions met, but they were definitely exceeded.
Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars:
- Best Picture
- Best Director - Danny Boyle
- Best Adapted Screenplay
- Best Original Score
- Best Original Song - Jai Ho
- Best Film Editing - Chris Dickens
- Best Cinematography - Anthony Dod Mantle
- Best Sound mixing - Ian Tapp, Tapp, Richard Pryke, Resul Pookutty
I can see why this would win best picture at the Oscars. It is in a league of its own. It is gutsy, real, endearing, serious and funny while telling the difficult story of growing up in extreme poverty and living by your wits.
Tip
If you are going to see this movie in the theatre, please don't get up until the main titles are done. There is a treat there not to be missed.
Rating 10/10
