Slumdog Millionaire

[liner]

it had a rhythm to it, if that's possible.a great rhythm, i worried at first it would get repetitive but it didn't. i agree about the accents, they were hard to pick up sometimes but scene for scene boyle seemed to try to top himself. this was the kind of movie where i actually marveled at how he shot certain scenes and the visual imagery he was able to conger up. the story and acting were pretty top notch too. it reminded me just a little of "city of god", it also reminded me that foreigners have made at least as many "great" movies as we have in recent memory. "city of god", "life is beautiful", "pan's labyrinth", almodovar's stuff and hundreds more i'm sure.

i definitely like more foreign horror films than american ones but watching this i couldn't help but think of the movies i'm going to think of years from now as great ones from this era and in even my limited viewing capacity i think foreigners may have even made more of the standout flicks than we have. i know it's just our country i'm comparing to the rest of the moviemaking world but we have hollywood. we're supposed to be the shit and instead a talking chihuahua makes bank.
