@@EarthyRanger772 I'll give you some recommendations because most of my favourites don't have sex/nudity: Whiplash, Se7en, 12 Angry Men, Children of Men, Inglourious Basterds, Prisoners, Die Hard, Memento, Reservoir Dogs, and Knives Out - a lot of these are somewhat disturbing and/or for mature audiences though, so keep that in mind. If you're looking for something more family friendly, I'd recommend Good Will Hunting, Back to the Future, JoJo Rabbit, Napoleon Dynamite, Peanut Butter Falcon, Grand Budapest Hotel, Elf, Catch Me if You Can, Paddington 1+2, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople. A lot of these are fairly well known movies so if you've already seen them and are looking for more obscure recommendations, let me know, I've seen a lot of movies, so I can recommend some great lesser known movies

@@EarthyRanger772 Yeah JoJo Rabbit is about the Nazi's, but it's more of a satirical comedy that mocks the Nazis combined with a coming of age story. It's mostly heartwarming and funny, and I'd say it's suitable for anyone over the age of 11. It's directed by Taika Waititi who you might know from Thor Ragnarok. Similar tone and comedy as that movie

As someone who was very familiar with Indian Cinema beforehand and familiar with all the blowback that this film received from the Indian film community (actors, directors, etc) I was fully prepared to think it was overrated as well. But I quickly saw why so many Indian film people didn't like it.... It was embarrassed them by how good it was, and they didn't like that Bollywood (That is, the Mumbai film industry) didn't make it. Of course the movie had some gravitas by casting Anil Kapoor. Irrfan Khan was already known for offbeat film choices, so he really didn't count as a big name, but Anil Kapoor was...because Shah Rukh Khan turned them down. But other than that, it was filled with unknowns and it really showed the unglamorous side of Mumbai. And it did it while being a genuinely feel-good picture. It showed the squalor side by side with the high rises. And how a young man triumphed out of the muck pit. It really gave Bollywood a lesson, honestly. One that they don't like to this day.

I always cry in that last scene, where Jamal kisses Latika's scar and you see everything they've went through but they play it in reverse and then it stops in the moment where Latika was looking up at him and smiling in the train station. I've always interpreted it as the movie commenting on true love, and how it has the power to make you feel like it can "take back" a lot of the pain that we endure throughout life, or at least you feel like all of that was worth it because it got you to that one, blissful moment where you finally get to share your life with the one you love.

Such a fantastic film, an all timer for me. This and Danny Boyle's other film Trainspotting are in my Top 5 favorite movies for me! A gorgeous, but emotionally harrowing, rollercoaster ride of a life from beginning to end. AND THE MUSIC!! Oh, it's so good, especially the ending song Jai Ho which deserved it's Best Song Oscar. Also funny enough that end credits dance sequence was actually an afterthought, with the filmmakers thinking "Well given how much of our film is a love letter to Bollywood, IT MAKES SENSE that we need to include a dance sequence!!" Plus, this film introduced us to the mega-talent that is Dev Patel!

Danny Boyle's an interesting dude who always makes interesting movies. He basically just wanted to make a movie in India so he made this. He just wanted to make a Sci-Fi movie so he made Sunshine. He's pretty much made a movie in every genre because he that's what's interesting to him. Al his movies are worth checking out, although some are better than others. He also directed the opening ceremony to the 2012 London Olympics.

And for the Indian masterpieces that precede this, Satyajit Ray’s Apu trilogy, particularly part one, Panther Pachali, is the very essence of soulful filmmaking, and Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay will break your heart. Both are obvious influences on Slumdog Millionaire.

I don't think Dev Patel did anything special in this movie. The other 2 child actors did much more in this Film than he did. Their acting was much better. All Dev Patel did was look depressed and tired. Slumdog Millionaire is a bad Movie. The Editing, the Story is horrible. It is not realistic in any way. It is a poorly made horror story. Let's say the brothers survive the Genocide of their City. In real life they would not have survived long without their mother to support them. Kids left alone in India will quickly die, from exposure. The 🌞☀️ Sun's heat will quickly kill people without shelter. Poverty is so bad in India they would die of starvation. How these boys were supposed to have survived, by stealing, would have put them in early graves. In India the public will kill you for stealing. The government will 🪓 off your hand. Salim is a very poorly written character. He is this psycho child that will kill a baby and report kids to their villian kidnapper. Then he saves his brother from being blinded but is Cruel to Lativia a little girl crying in the rain. Than he threatens to murder his Brother if he will not leave because he wants to Rape Lativia. Salim is not remotely believable. Too many villians, who are all Comic Book style over the top Evil, in this Garbage movie. The $hit scene was disgusting and out of place, it was gross not funny. This Ignorant movie won Best picture and a lot more Oscars... 😮 😮 😮😮 The Oscars are Political and have been since the beginning getting to be now for 20 years the politically correct awards. The Best is not who wins the Oscars.

"Shallow Grave", which came out a year or two before Trainspotting, is a Danny Boyle film that doesn't get mentioned enough, probably because Trainspotting was the one that made him famous*. It is also a great film. For a real "before they were famous" director twist though, you should check out Peter Jackson's first film "Bad Taste", a very low budget film about aliens invading New Zealand, that definitely doesn't take itself too seriously.

Call out Danny B. did ya like the London Olympics opening ceremony: parachuting Queen to Bond music and the rest? Danny Boyle directed that, too. Big fan of 28 Days Later, too.

Danny Boyle is a director with range. From Trainspotting to Slumdog. From 28 Days to Sunshine. From 127 Hours to the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, that's a portfolio!

For anyone confused as to why they were pouring acid into the children's eyes, it is because it is easier for the children to beg afterwards as they gain more sympathy from people for being disabled or disfigured. This practice is pretty common in India and Pakistan.

I think that was obvious. The Film actually came out and said that the children were blinded because blind singers made a lot more money.
