Slumdog Millionaire - Is it worth the Oscars?

I think it absolutly deserved the oscars that it got. The movie was really fantastic, great visuals and cinematography, and interesting storyline pushing the directions of real life in an environment that does exist, but almost seems like a fantasy world to the British and American viewers. At the same time, it had deep philosophical directions, in the twists between the mono and polytheists, which has been a long standing issue in India. I think a better question would be, where is this movie bad? It made me laugh, made me cry, gave me shock, filled me with action... it had everything that a great film should have. What did you see as bad about it?

yeah i agree, i thought it was a good film that i would watch again but i don't understand why people have been going crazy about it. I think its probably due to the fact a big part of the film is about the poverty some people are living in in india. But it didn't seem that real to me, because the boy who was on the millionaire show has been in skins if you've ever seen that, and he plays a completely different role

I have a friend who is obsessed with this movie. He was actually adopted from India and brought to the US when he was a baby, so he feels a personal connection to this movie. My mother and I were watching the Oscars, saw all of the awards that it was winning, and listened to the music. I was intrigued, so the next week my mother, grandmother, and I went to go see Slumdog Millionaire. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. However, as the story went on I found myself getting into it, on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happened next. At the end I was happy and satisified. Since then I have been back to see it again and I am going again next week. I feel that this movie was exceptional and definitely deserved every Oscar it got.
