Slumdog Millionaire

A lot of art is unrealistic - that doesn't make it a fairytale.
Anyway, I'm not bothered about it being classified as a fairytale - but I don't think I'd put it in that genre myself.

I think it would be interesting to see what proportion of the people who have been to see it were women. When I saw it the audience was pretty balanced male & female. Of the frienRAB of mine who have seen it it's pretty much equal men and women, and the friend who raved about it the most was male.
 
I saw this movie some time ago and didn't enjoy it. I then watched in horror as it picked up award after award
culiminating in the oscar love fest.
Previous posters have described this as a fairytale and looking at the central love theme of the movie,
fairytale is a fair description, imho.
Much better movies were ignored by the academy not for artistic reasons but for cold hard buisness ones.
 
You have to admit that it was artistically good though. What were the business reasons that resulted in it winning over the other movies?
 
BTW, sorry about the Tescos joke Vennegoor - it was an attempt at keeping it light-hearted but reading it now it comes across as facecious! I don't strongly disagree with what you're saying - it's more the "plot holes" arguments that I strongly disagree with and it's those posters who the joke was aimed at really. It's just about as valid as the "plot holes" arguments.
- but I'll look forward with interest to see whether it does end up in that section.
