I hear there are some brutal scenes of the childhood that invokes the emotion.

It's a good movie and it is going to win BP like GD said. Does it deserve it? No. I thought Milk was a much better movie.

Was going to see Milk this week but something came up. Hope to check it out next week so I can give an accurate comparison.

Re: Anyone seen Slumdog Millionaire Yet?
Hines,
Out of curiosity, why did you think Milk was better? I've been trying to see every movie that is up for an Oscar, or has someone in it that is. I thought out of all of them, and the only one I haven't seen is Frost/Nixon, Slumdog was the best. It evoked emotion, it used a unique storytelling method, the end wasn't too predictable.
As far as Milk is concerned, I understand the political and social impact of it, shit I live in SF for gods sake and knew enough about Harvey Milk before I saw it. Yes I thought the acting was outstanding, and not just James Franco and Sean Penn, but I still lacked something I can't quite pin-point. All and all, I'd say it's second best (once again, w/o seeing F/Nixon), so can you explain why you thought it was a much better movie?
Thanks,

I thought Slumdog was a good movie, but I didn't think it was Oscar worthy. It's a little corny, cliched, and very predictable. Good story though and I thought it deserved the nomination.
However, Milk brings up a salient issue and the acting is superb. Brolin, Franco, and Penn are all great. I'll admit I didn't know anything about Harvey Milk and the story fascinated me.
Also, I think if No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood came out this year, it would win the Oscar over Slumdog.

Fair enough, and for sure agree with this- "Also, I think if No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood came out this year, it would win the Oscar over Slumdog"
