This is absolutely a "not to be missed" movie ....SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE .I regret that it's not on the top of my pending movie list for the last 2 months.

Hope it's not too late to write this film review.

 

For those people who are too critical and pessimistic, think it’s unrealistic, I reckon it's spot-on in almost every respect.

 

The genre is narrative drama with no doubt, but it's much more than that. Driving music and momentum shown, exploded with narrative force, while stirring in a romance at the same time.

 

The Storyline seems to be simple, a Mumbai slum kid Jamal is poised to win 20 million rupees on India's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" live show, under the whole nation's attention. He has already aced the first round by supplying all the correct answer to question after question. How could an uneducated slum kid know all the answers? The film follows a flashback-based structure, as every question is displayed on the screen; Jamal recalls a specific incident that contributed to his current status and explains what has unfolded to the policemen who suspect his cheating. The movie starts out a little confusing but can be very quickly sorted out and understood.

 

At this point, we are enabled to see how life treats him and his older brother Salim, as well as his pure love Latika. A film critic wrote: “This film shows that destiny is something that is made by an individual and not the society that he lives in.” Indeed.

 

Some people reviewed this film in the forum saying the way they depicted Mumbai is unrealistic and exaggerated. Also the title SLUMDOG is offensive. Well, I have never been to Mumbai, and don’t know much about their history; however, from what I see from this movie, it implies an entire modern nation. A nation that used to have slums all over the places, while now we can see there are modern train stations, people watch TV live shows. Especially the dance scene in the end showcased something very different from what we saw in the past--A forming youth culture.

 

To some extend, this film created a portrait of humanity not seen in a long time. It is a film about childhood friendship, love, betrayal, regret, fate and hope. Danny Boyle's direction keeps the film dynamic and engaging by its great visual storytelling along the way.

 

The cinematography was stunning, and without hesitation I will vote for the editing technique, it’s always the art of story telling. If this film followed another structure, say showing based on the time being, from their childhood, growing older …and finally aced in the show, which would be much less interesting. From this perspective, this film is better than “The curious case of Benjamin Button”.  The editing in this film was just seamless and for director Danny Boyle, it’s a massive achievement.

The acting is impressive, especially coming from the younger cast, most of who have never acted before. Latika is beautiful!!!

 

“It was such a delight for the eyes, ears and emotions.”

　　

 

For ages, we persuade others, we comfort ourselves.

we never face the simple truth behind it , he 's just not that into you because to some extend, truth hurts

to make ourselves and others feel better, we just keep telling white lies, imaging senarios...

in the end, we will just toss everything to time.

either wait ,let the time pass by or move on without wasting any time

The movie "He's just not that into you" begin with montage scene pokes fun at the terrible relationship advice women give each other in the sake of being supportive. 

Throughout the movie, you will find most of the scenes familiar, it is a reflection of real everyday life

The sharp-eyed comments are hilarious yet true.....Maybe it's also why women are so easily convinced by media(movie, book, magazine,TV show)

it freed women from wasting their time worrying and analysing men.

However, even when somebody tell us directly that something we don't wanna hear, we still insist at some point that we might be the exception to the rule

Anyway

Lovely ,hilarious , movie~~Girls, go watch it with ur girlfriends~it also has a hardcopy version~~funny read~

Basically ,there's no rule at all~or you figure out~

 

 

元宵节，在这里只是及其普通的星期一
经过高温的周末后整个城市阴雨连连
回家后用糯米粉整了盘汤圆，其实说Dango更合适
海苔肉松芝麻加沙律酱， 七味唐辛子加好烧酱
一改汤圆以往的甜腻
