Erica's Movie Reviews: Slum Dog Millionaire


Slum Dog Millionaire:
Starring: Dev Patel

A-/B+

Erica's Thoughts:

There was a interesting balance between misfortune and fortune in this story.

Nice dance sequence during the ending credits. It was nothing special per se, but it was a nice homage to Ballywood style.

The movie kept me interested the entire time. Appeals to men and women.

Erica's Question:

Where do the actors in the movie really come from? What regions of India?

Why did the 'good' brother look more like a Punjabi than the 'bad' brother? Are there racial preferences in casting going on here? Or is that a cultural reflection?

Erica's Recommendation:

Go see it. It's good.

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, especially since I kind of dragged you to it. I never would've forgiven myself if you hated it. Actually, I'd probably forgive myself after about an hour, but that one hour would be just devastating.
