Slumdog Millionaire

I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire. And it was amazing, more than I thought it'd be. I can't believe someone could write a movie like that, and then actually make it on what seemed to be such a massive scale.

For all the violence and bitterness of the people's experiences, it's still a very sentimental movie. I liked that, more than the violence. It had a certain rightness to it in spite of all the wrongness.

I like the theme of destiny, of things being written, even if I don't think that way on a day to day basis.
