    slumdog millionaire

    Who saw it? Thoughts? I really enjoyed it.

    A buddy of mine that went with us just returned from Africa after a 4 month stay there. He stayed in a similar type slum (for about a week) like the one in the movie and he said it was life changing. The things these people have to endure are incomprehensible.

    Might see it tonight.

    Read an interesting article about it this morning, apparently folks in India aren't too impressed with it.

    Great movie. The way they tie the story to relate his life to each answer of the show is brilliant. Definitely check it out if you can. Many scenes from the movie were shot right there where the Mumbai terror attack occured.

    Just a guess, but I'm willing to bet they also didn't like when the lead character in the movie said : "If it wasn't for Ram or Allah, we'd still have a mother. "

    good movie but it only focused on the poor india and not the 9% growth a year India. Whenever i go to india i see all these people begging for money and i only give money to the handicap.


    i also didnt like the part where it had the hindus "attack" the muslims...

    obviously its the muslims fault as they are mostly *******s

    Well, the movie highlighted the forgotten millions that live in India's slums. Sure they could have focused on how wonderful Bombay is, but then they would have had a different plot altogether .

    Also, I guess those "attacks" are common amongst the slums. Drinking, fighting, and even killing to overtake territory, women, etc. I know that's how it works in the African slums of Kenya as well.

    the thing is that there has been turmoil since the muslims invaded india and forced people to convert to islam (if u didnt they would kill u or harm u)

    then theres pakistan who kicked all of the hindus out of their new territory but the muslims never left india


    then pakistan bombs india after 1 year of independence

    then pakistan invades kashmir, an indian province...fighting ensues

    muslims bomb india and send out terrorist attacks and have been doing so for the last 60 years

    I saw it when it was first in limited release and I really liked it. I'm not usually one for "love' stories....but this one was really good.

    We passed on Slumdog last night and saw The Wrestler instead. While it wasn't quite as good as I expected, it was still really good. And Rourke was fantastic. He'd get my vote for best actor this year.

    Just watched this streaming on my 360 last night. Great movie. I'd read all the reviews and hardly anyone had a negative thing to say about it. It was a really good story. The Wrestler was also very good (watched it at work last week). I'm going to watch Defiance sometime soon then catch Gran Turino.

    islam is the scum of the earth

    Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

    Quran 9.29 "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day ... "

    http://www.apostatesofislam.com/index.htm

    the religion of islam must be exposed or else terrorism will never stop
