and what's wrong with that?

Very well crafted, and stylistic in it's way, I slipped right into the suspension of disbelief, and was never brought out of it. All the actors (yes, including the male lead-his first movie role by the way) became their characters, without ever seeming to be 'acting' (the game show host, apparently a well-known Bollywood star, was particularly good). Plus, for those who haven't seen it, the female lead is drop-dead gorgeous-apparently she's a fashion model, and you can see why.

Agreed that it's not a 'study every frame to learn from a master' film, but certainly far better than an average "popcorn movie", at least by my definition. And that definition starts with Michael Bay and Nicholas 'Paycheck' Cage.

There are a lot worse films you could study frame by frame... - Harmonia 17:27:11 01/08/09 (0)
The film is extremely well crafted, just as vibrantly as its setting and subject - and that takes no little artistic skill. The shots, the framing, the editing - all are very carefully and dynamically executed.

Boyle is a rteal filmmaker. It's absolutely OK to make a high quality crowd pleaser IMO. I'd rather watch this a hundred times than Life Is Beautiful. :-)
