August1991 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 If the Academy gives this one the nod, it will have gone slumdog. We are far from Lawrence of Arabia or Dances With Wolves. Welcome to the future. A commercial mix of western audience divertissement and eastern imaginary reality. Slumdog Millionnaire is an art house version of a James Bond movie. It appeals to 14 year olds in Hong Kong, and 41 year olds in New York. All male. The moral questions impressed me. You wouldn't see that in a Brazilian serial or in an Egyptian movie. This guy chose the Indian format. Hmm. Quote
