Slumdog millionaire
Directed By: Danny Boyle and Loveleen Tandan
Starred in by: Dev Patel and Freida Pinto
A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.
Personally, I loved this film. It does not particularly tie into Film Noir, which is the topic that we are covering in class at the moment, but I think that in terms of editing, this film is excellently done. The visuals are amazing, the plot is heart-wrenching and the sound track fits the film almost perfectly. As a film student, one of the aspects that stuck out to me was the way in which scenes transitioned into one another. The most memorable example of which is when the boys fall off the train, and get up as older boys. This type of subtle transition of time was very well done. I would recommend this film to everyone that likes a good tear jerker.
