There was a lot of concern when this movie came out about the treatment of the child actors, two of whom (the youngest versions of Latika and Salim) were literally from the slums. If you're curious where they are now, there's one update here - https://www.mamamia.com.au/slumdog-millionaire-children-watn/. The year this won all the Oscars, it was the last year of five Best Picture nominees before they bumped it up to ten. My favorite photo from that ceremony is this one - https://live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/b8406801a7d37697a68a8400d299a6b8?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=472&cropW=840&xPos=0&yPos=0&width=862&height=485 - where the whole cast is on stage after the Best Picture win and Dev Patel is holding the little girl who played Latika.

Thanks! While it doesn't make him a "millionaire" by American standards, I assume $250k would be quite a lot in his area.

Cannot wait to watch this with you guys, thank youuuu : )

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it for the most part (I am so with you on Salim). The fact this won eight Oscars including; Best Director, Best Score, Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Sound Editing is so fitting. Although the subject matter is definitely sad and very hard to watch at times I think it's such a beautiful looking and sounding film. The acting, although not awarded, was top notch too and where my love for Dev Patel began. Also, thanks to Charlie Sheen in The Three Musketeers I knew the answer was Aramis, lol. When I requested this I was shocked you both hadn't seen it so I'm glad you have now.

Danny Boyle is the Director who has a knack for making movies that I appreciate the artistry of but don’t enjoy watching. This is probably my favorite of his films that I’ve seen. I haven’t watched sunrise yet.

Monkey Man is definitely worth a watch I’m sure you guys would like it.

Episodes of Millionaire are still being made. The phone a friend doesn’t work like this. You choose 3 people before the show and they are with producers to make sure they answer the phone and nothing inappropriate happens.

The attack that killed the mother was realistic the religious and political violence was very common in the 1990s

I forgot how great this movie is – everything from the story to how it’s shot was fantastic. (Excellent choice, Cristy!) Kevin – Great call on the comparison to Dickens! Rags to riches, everybody gets their just deserts, gangs of kids, charlatans, class prejudices – this totally follows in that story type. I’ve only seen a couple of thing from Danny Boyle, but I think I might have to look up more of his stuff. My introduction to Boyle was when he directed the opening ceremony to the 2012 Olympics. There was this really beautiful moment where a guy was reciting Caliban’s speech from The Tempest while “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations played behind him – it was just... I’m not crying, you’re crying, lol.

I do agree with you guys on Dev Patel's performance in Lion being stronger than the movie itself, even though the movie is really good. On the subject of good actor elevating material, earlier in his career he was in the awful movie adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and he was one of the less bad parts of that movie but definitely did not elevate it. His career turning around since then to being recognized as one of the greatest working actors today feels very similar to Robert Pattinson going from the terrible Twilight movies to rising to the same level as Dev Patel as some of our best working actors.

Oh man! I had no idea he had directed the 2012 Opening Ceremony! I had seen 28 Days Later by then (you know. Zombies).

Robert Pattinson is a really good comp to Dev Patel: two actors who just kept churning out different and increasingly challenging performances, eventually rising in esteem in the industry.
