Yeah so the slumdog millionaire swept the oscars..yippee yay yay. Seriously i can't believe what's gotten into everyone..it's a rank disaster of a movie. i slept through the last part and never bothered to play it again. I've suspected this for too long now.. The movie to me was a pathetic mix of salaam bombay and satya..(both good movies in their own right).anil kapoor was as tacky as they come..the dialogues stuck out like sore thumbs..you can't fucking bhenchod blurt out expletives in one language and yakkety on in another and expect the same effect..so while iam left sitting here wondering what the real deal was with the movie..it's just walkin away with Oscars. Oscars have come to represent standards and benchmarks in movie making over the years..i can't believe they couldscrew up this bad. Either ways it only presses home the point, that all you need to play to the west pavillion is to give them stereotypes that they have come to accept or are blown out of their wits by. It's pretty much the same story with indian novelists i guess. In an effort to relate their 'india experience' to a broader audience they tend to get a lot more indian than any of us indians could ever hope to be..(Irwin Allan Sealy is a huge respite though). All in all i would've been happy if a truly indian film would've sweeped the stakes..and not a charade made to order for the unawakened sensibilities of an ignorant race..can i get you some more popcorn sir?
