Slumdog Millionaire - don't miss it!

Wow!  I just came out of the preview of Slumdog Millionaire, which will open on Wednesday.  This film combines the world's stereotypical vision of India's squalor and struggle with the extraordinary tidal wave of hope that possesses India today.  It offers the sleek and familiar backdrop of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" juxtaposed with the jumble of color, movement, and sound that makes India so enticing; so visually rich you can nearly smell the cardamon and jasmine!  A larger-than-life story about good versus darkest evil, so filled with details and surprises, it will impress any viewer.  Danny Boyle, director of Trainspotting and a number of other award winners, has created what promises to be a blockbuster.
