Feedback Fridays: Like it or not?

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to see Slumdog Millionaire. I just had to know what the fuzz was about. I was curious to know how the Slumdog grand-”slammed” all those awards for Best Film.

After watching the last full show with my mom, we both left the cinema having the same sentiments. It was moving and heart-rending. My impression of India went beyond the overcrowded trains, the way I’ve always viewed it on the Amazing Race. Growing up in a third-world country, the film made me realise how India is far from different to the Philippines’ pitiful state. Actually, throughout most of the scenes in the movie, my mom would nudge and whisper to me “Parang sa ‘Pinas din” (Translation: “Similar to the Philippines”).

Hence, in celebration of the movie’s award-winning success, I treated myself today to some Indian fair: Butter Chicken with rice and Naan bread. Yum!

How about you? Did you like it too? The movie and/or the butter chicken?
