Having lived in a similar environment in (then East Pakistan 1970) Bangladesh, I was mesmerized by the reality of what I saw last Thursday. We don't go to movie theaters often, in fact the last movie I saw at a Theatre was Titanic. My favorite movie of all tome used to be Midnight Express, now Slumdog Millionaire has trumped ALL. As a guy, I try to hold emotion in, however the realism of story line, combined with excellence in acting, combined with the unforgettable score, brought water to my eyes and applause by all of us in the theatre. I could and will watch this movie again and again. I have already purchased the CD and it rivets me to the drivers seat to and from my commute to work! I applaud every person involved in this truly outstanding movie. Call it an epic today!
