"Slumdog" was just...I don't even know...I think the word that best describes it is "exhilarating." There are just so many emotions that you feel as you watch this movie. I definitely left the theater satisfied. I would highly recommend this to ANYBODY. This might have been the best movie I've seen all year (well, tied with "The Dark Knight".)
"Milk" was very, very moving. The acting was fantastic and I think it was just an all around great ensemble cast. Every single actor pulled their own weight. I especially loved Diego in this movie. He cracked me up. I think I liked "Slumdog" more, but only because it was so uplifting, whereas "Milk" was sort of a quieter, powerful movie. I guess knowing the ending also had to do with my opinion....
Still, both movies were great and I'm glad I got to see them. Reading all the youtube comments on "Slumdog" videos makes me sad that a lot of people aren't able to watch movies that aren't really mainstream.
Anyway, I just finished this:
and it was AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVED IT. I could relate to a lot of what Marjane was feeling. Knowing that you've disappointed your family...never becoming what you had once dreamed of being....And now I really want to watch the movie.
