It's very rare I'll rave about a movie as much as this film has made me want to dance (stay after the film for the upbeat credits dance overture.

First of all,  I'm a very visual and sound oriented individual. My senses become excited when these two are blended elegantly in the manner that director Danny Boyle films this movie. From the start of the film, you feel you're in the middle of the action. There are moments it feels like an anthology of music videos without being too pretentious.   And as an audience member, you root for the characters in every situation, namely our love birds Jamal and Latika.

The themes are so many yet are the kinds that keep coming up in nominated films for best picture. The poverty of the soul caused by revenge, suffering, and greed all overcome by the values of redemption, persistence, hope, and truth. Most importantly love. For Jamal, his undying committment to Latika brings his life towards a destiny to a better life he easily could have fallen into, like his brother.  If the book this is based from is as well written as this movie, you'll see me at a Border's sometime this week :) 

 Overall, I cannot describe how this film makes me feel inside. It is now up there on my list of favorites. I love how the movie opens with a multiple choice question and then ends the movie with the answer.  It's enough to make you cry (I cried in the beginning, during, and after the film was over...Heck I'm still crying).

I close this review with the following:

Should movie goers see this movie?

A. Maybe

B. Not a chance

C. Yes

D. See it more than once

I pick D.......... And that's my final answer :)
