Thoughts;
I know, I’m behind the times. This movie came out in 2008 and
I just watched it. It had never really peaked my interest before, until I
caught some of it on a cable channel.
This movie was long, but in my opinion it was really good. I
was surprised by how they kept you hooked on watching it and you couldn’t help
but feel bad for Jamal and his brother Salim. It’s also hard to imagine that
people actually live like this.
As someone who has worked in a call center, I found this a
little funny, they way they showed all the cubes set up with signs that told
the associate “where” they were.
The movie was visually stunning and kept your attention the
entire time with the vibrant music. It was obvious that the boy would get the
girl in the end, but several scenes had you doubting it.
