Slumdog Millionaire

[pacificpikachu]

I got back from Slumdog Millionaire about a half hour ago and...IT WAS FANTASTIC. I am Ms. Nitpicky when it comes to movies, and I absolutely loved it! It was a great story idea, an extremely well made movie, and just...wonderful. So much wonderful. ♥ I can't wait to see it again. It was bittersweet and quite intense/sad/depressing in parts like most amazing movies (at least in my opinion--I'm not really into movies that are nothing but sunshine and rainbows), but as a result of the end (especially the ending credits) I can't stop smiling. I loved it and I recommend it to all of you.

Now to go hunt down the soundtrack! *0*

SOUNDTRACK WAS FUCKING RAD. ENDING CREDITS WERE THE HAPPIEST THINGS EVER.

I got to see it last night. I have a friend that works at the movie theaters and I got to go to the employee showing!

OMG. I LOVED IT SO FUCKING HAAAAARD. It was so beautiful/wonderful/awesome/amazing/good.

hjbaegljhbflhSADGJNSAD;K!!~

(BTW, did you see Benjamin Button yet?)

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

YES. YES YES YES YES YES ON EVERYTHING. I LOVED IT SO MUCH.

LOVE THIS MOVIE. ♥

(No, I haven't! I've been trying to make it to it but it keeps playing at the wrong times. XD)

[archaneah.livejournal.com]

OH MAN. You need to see Benjamin Button! They're both up for Best Picture, and I don't think that I could decide between them!! They're both so good in such different ways!!

(And the ending credits.. ohhhhh!!)

I LOVED BOTH OF THOSE MOVIES!! SDM was SO fucking GOOD. BB Is SO fucking GOOD too. You need to coordinate it so that you can see it. I think you'll like it. It's like a Forest Gump/Big Fish crossover. It's pretty cool!

I WILL, I WILL! I've been planning on seeing it for quite some time actually but it's just one of those annoying things where it repeatedly doesn't work out. D: Maybe I'll go Sunday or something, hmmm... Wanna go together, maybe?

Haha, at least (assuming I love Benjamin Button too, though from what I've heard I'd be surprised if I don't) we can be happy if either win!

Ah, I love Forrest Gump and Big Fish. ♥

I've been wanting to see this after I heard about it in the States! It's rare that they make a movie about that part of Indian society and the dude who composed the music is really very good; I normally don't watch any movies at all (too expensive, and I'm far too lazy :p unless it's with some friends, who are all not around anyway) ... but I think I might make an exception to go watch this one! Maybe I might be able to convince my mum to go with me, that's normally impossible but considering the subject matter... :o

[archaneah.livejournal.com]

GO WATCH IT.

[wao.livejournal.com]

I will! I looked it up a bit more and I'm really interested now.

Except first it has to actually come here :(

[archaneah.livejournal.com]

Is it going to play there? Like, are there concrete plans and release dates and the like?

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

You definitely should! It's a fantastic movie and I think you would love it. It really is worth a trip to the movie theaters (and this is coming from someone who...hasn't been to the movie theaters since Pan's Labyrinth, if I'm remembering correctly? I'm hard to please, heh.) And the music is fantastic--I'm downloading the soundtrack right now!

Definitely try to go out and see it, and bring your mom if you can!

[wao.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I looked it up a bit and I'm keen to go, I'll definitely check it out when it actually comes here :D I don't know when's the last time I watched a movie man... Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo? It must be at least 5 years since I last watched a non-anime movie in the theatres I suspect :|

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Great! I hope it comes there fairly soon. :D

It's really easy not to go to movies. The tickets here are so expensive, and I'm not interested in probably 90% of what's playing to begin with. I wish we had more anime play here, though--you generally have to drive to San Francisco to get to the closest anime screenings, though occasionally there are things in Sacramento and whatnot... Not all that often, though.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! I'll probably go out and see it with my mom eventually, since she wants to see it too. :D

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

YOU WOULD LOVE IT. I WOULD BET MONEY ON YOU LOVING IT, SERIOUSLY. It's the type of movie that's right up your alley I think.

Go see it as soon as you get a chance!

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

Everyone is going to see this movie before me, I am so jealous. I really want to see it but most of my RL friends have already seen it so I just need to find someone to go with.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

SEE IT. You will love it! It's a really wonderful movie. :D I hope you find someone to go with! Perhaps one of your RL friends would like to see it again?

[ibaly.livejournal.com]

Whoa, last night I saw that! IT WAS GOOD, YES.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

IT WAS AWESOME!

LOL, your icon... It is somewhat hypnotic. O___o;

[vehemence.livejournal.com]

I had the exact same reaction as you, it was just wonderful in every way. Parts made me laugh, parts made me nearly cry, parts made me excited and idk like EVERY emotion, and that's what a good movie should do! I can't stop listening to the soundtrack. I love Latika's theme.. I love all of the songs actually. And and... the ending was just so perfect. D. It is written. BAWW ;_;

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was completely wonderful! It went through the whole emotional spectrum and I LOVE movies like that so much. I've been listening to the soundtrack on repeat as well! It's so awesome.

The ending made me so happy. Both the ending and the It Is Written, and the ending credits. Ahhhh such a great movie! I want it to come out on DVD so I can watch it a bunch of times. :(

[koyaaniisqatsi.livejournal.com]

The ending credits totally made me happy in my pants! :D I also have the hots for Anil Kapoor now. >.>;

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

The ending credits made it even MORE awesome. The end of the movie was so happy and amazing. ♥

LOL!

[mei-san.livejournal.com]

Oooh I've been meaning to watch it since it got the nod from Golden Globes. Hope my school has a discounted screening of it or something.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Do watch it! It's an absolutely amazing movie, and worth every penny of going to see it. :)

[trf-chan.livejournal.com]

I want to see it so badly. ;______; I hope they decide to give it to our theatre for a week or two at some point.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

You muuuust. You would love it! I hope they show it there, too, but if all else fails just find the nearest theater playing it and go see it. :D
