amazing flick

it's very rare that i see a movie and love it enough to go out and purchase the film to keep and cherish forever. it's unheard of me to do this within 24 hours of seeing a movie...until now.  much to chris' protests, we rented slumdog millionaire from the redbox at the maverick on 3rd and 5th {they usually have the best selection}.  i've always had a strange fascination with all things indian.  and so the minute i heard about this movie i'd been trying to see it, subtly suggesting to chris that we see it.  let me just say this about the movie....awe inspiring.  the cinematography was beautiful, the music was good, the depiction of indian culture was pretty spot on {in my very white girl opinion}.  there were some occasional subtitles, {which are usually hard for me in movies} that were brightly colored and in untraditional spots on the screen.  the story causes one to look at their own life in a new light and appreciate whatever they have and to work harder for those things they ultimately desire.  amazing.  truly. go see it.
