Slumdog Millionare
I thought this was a good movie. Thruthfully, I somehow didn't know much about the movie (despite watching all the Oscar coverage and everything) and didn't realize it was as serious or "real" as it is, so some of the brutal parts caught me off guard. Much of the movie (especially the filming style) reminded me of City of God. The jarring camera angles and chaotic tracking shots, plus the idea of following kids growing up in the slums were the main similarities. The organization made for an interesting, if sometimes confusing, narrative structure. The story was pretty cool. A different idea. Overall, I thought it was a well-done, intriguing, and exciting movie, without being something special.
