Though after watching Slumdog it is pretty clear Danny Boyle is a fan of City of God. Well I will say I liked it, but I didn’t love.

There's a 10Am screening I'm going to in 2 weeks time. Hopefully it'll be worth the trip! @Matt – You sound like me. There’s a 10Am screening I’m going to in 2 weeks time.

Something about this bugs me - might be the fact that I hate Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I do love me some Boyle so I'll definitely be checking it out but the trailer and poster rub me the wrong way. The clip is much better. I’m more inclined to stand with Kurt on this one.

And no they're not covered in a light way either. No it's not "Born on the Fourth of July" or "Philadelphia," but it ain't exactly kids stuff either. Just as an FYI, and not to change the subject to Gump (again), but…

GUMP:
Mental diabilities
Child physical/sexual abuse
Bullying
Vietnam war
Death of a best friend
Learning to live as a paraplegic
Death of a mother
Drug abuse/addiction
Single motherhood
Aids
Death of a wife
Single Fatherhood

Not exactly fluffy, happy-go-lucky topics. And no they’re not covered in a light way either. No it’s not “Born on the Fourth of July” or “Philadelphia,” but it ain’t exactly kids stuff either.

There is a lot of dark storytelling in Slumdog that I don't believe was in Gump at all. For me what makes this one such a success is that it isn't all happy fluffy feelings throughout the entire movie. You watch these kids grow up in one of the nastiest places in the world and yet the movie is still able to hit a perfect pitch between being dark, unhappy and then light and happy. You really care about the three main characters not because of it being forced on you but because you witness how they grew up. I'm trying to stay away from spoilers and everything and I really look forward to either agreeing or arguing with you Kurt (or anyone else for that matter) but I have a feeling that no one will be able to change my mind on how good it is. Perhaps if I'm lucky and it does show up in Saskatoon I'll have a chance to reconfirm my feelings. I’ve only actually seen Gump once and don’t really remember too much about it.

Colour palette, actors, intensity, saturation, urban vs rural... nothing is the same. But, I'm glad it will be coming to Toronto. We are getting a whole whack of festival faves including Let the Right One In, Ashes of Time Redux, JCVD and now this one all within the next few weeks.

I traded my ticket in at TIFF (admittedly due to a conflict with a different film), and this trailer is looking a lot 'Gump-ish' for me. Against all odds Mr. Boyle sold "MILLIONS" to me, a film that I should have gagged on, and to this day haven't been able to parse why I liked it instead of disliking it. I hope that Slumdog can do the same, but there is a lot of earnest 'movie-ness' (people running to catch trains, looking at the camera for a single tear, etc. etc.) I know we usually agree John, but I'm not so sure on this one...

I have the opposite effect from the poster but then I've seen the movie and it just doesn't match what I want for it. Maybe I'm being too harsh on the poster. I'll wait and see what the next few one sheets look like. Like everything else about the movie, the music is also pitch perfect. There are very few soundtracks that I seek out and this is going to be one of the few. It really is rare for me to get this into a movie but it caught my full attention. I like a lot of movies but its a rare few that are so strong that I don't stop thinking about them for days on end.

The Ting Tings on the soundtrack helps, but wow, GREAT poster. I know it's not even close to the same movie, but I get a warm fuzzy vibe from the poster like I do with "My Blueberry Nights." Sold.
