Slumdog Millionaire is
BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT.
What an original way to tell a story. Incredible.
We're excited to see what Oscar noms it gets tomorrow... Hopefully AR Rahman's score will be in with a shot. As mentioned in a previous post, Straight To Video's (Sound)Track Of The Week is M.I.A.'s 'Paper Planes' - one of three musical appearances by the diminutive Sri Lankan on the film's soundtrack.
In context, the film's music illustrates the story and the stunning cinematography beautifully. I've got a girl crush on Latika, the object of the protagonist's affections, and her theme is equally beguiling. I picked this track out ('Latika's Theme') as a highlight, along with the end-song, 'Jai Ho', before seeing the film and now I heart them even more.
Check out the way 'Jai Ho' is used as the credits roll...
