Slumdog Millionaire sucks, plain and simple. There's just no point, the plot is uninspired and, albeit unpredictable, it's uninteresting and mindnumbing. Maybe it's my cynicism doing its sharms, but it's just so uninteresting. What's there to learn with this movie? I hate it.

What is predictable is the extremist Hindus who are trying to turn this into a communal issue. These are the same Hindus who kill, murder and rape Muslims, Christians and other minority groups in India. Google Orissa, and see what they did to Christians, raped nuns and even murdered Hindus who tried to protect them.<br>That Slumdog even showed a bit of that reality is acceptable by the lunatics.

Its clearly a cheapt attempt to present a twisted and single dimensionally malicuous version of India which is an exact 180 degrees from the truth. Sadly western audiences adore such hogwash and they go "We knew that is the reality and see its all revealed now". About the second generation muslim's comments --- India is a secular country unlike any Islamic country in the world (except Turkey) and has a history of tolerating Muslims inspite of the horrible holocausts inflicted upon the Hindus by Muslim invaders. Even recent violence was always incited by Islamic aggression rather than Hindu discrimination. Inspite of that Muslims live and thrive (better than Hindus) in all parts of India and walks of life. Script lacks any coherence and holds it own sheerly thanks to povety porn and perverted human minds that secretly like it.

The Sun never set on the English Empire..." guess times now have changed...... or have they..... lamesabassman...... betcha the movie sweeps the Oscars, that would be a statement..... yes, Joe….. it seems that you are so correct on that point….. one can only look

It's a cheap shot at India, and although poverty does exist in India, it is not India. India has other social classes, that western movie directors, tend to overlook. They want to sigmatize India as a poverty struck nation. Say if, films made in the USA or Britain were only shot in the ghettos and slums of the USA or Britain, how would people's image be of the west? That's exactly what Indians accuse Evil Western Filmmakers of doing in India. Looking only at dirt, and ignoring India's brilliance.
