Jade and I went to see Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire tonight.
I will not write a review about it because there is no way I could possibly do justice to how great the film was. Everything was top notch: acting, directing, cinematography, music, sound. Absolutely stunning.
This film connected so deeply with my soul. The reason for that, I believe, is because of some of the things I’ve seen in the few developing countries around the world that I have visited. The slums of Mumbai reminded me of some of the poverty-stricken areas of Northern Egypt I saw in 2005 while on a Middle Eastern study tour. Perhaps the most resonating memories are that of Honduras, which I just traveled to in December on a vision/mission trip. One of the boys in the film had an uncanny similarity to a boy I met and built a relationship with in Trajillo, whose name is Miguelito. The surrounding conditions of the kids in the film and the kids I met in Honduras closely resembled each other.
The film is breathtakingly wonderful and I would recommend it any and everyone.
