I loved loved loved this film. I watched it the Fridat before the oscars. I rooted for this movie to pick up as many oscars as it could. I read an article on it, and I think it was in Time, whom whoever wrote it really didn't give this movie much credit. If you look at a summary of what the story and plot is, it looks generic and just like any other love story. This movie was just so much more. The flashbacks were great. My favourite flashback is the autograph one. Any movie that tugs on the heart strings of hope and humanity and tells it like it is, is a great story. It was simply beautiful. I thought Jamal and Salim were quite opposite. Had Salim not been the kind of personality that he was, I don't think those boys would have survived. As humble as Jamal was, I'm surprised he still loved Latika, even after she sold her soul. I don't care what anyone says, treating yourself as an object is not a last resort when you're old enough to know better. What a beautiful story. Almost magical. I think everyone should see this.
