the albatross of desperation

Saw "Slumdog Millionaire."

Tough to take, perhaps a bit contrived, but powerful, powerful, powerful. With heart.

Reminds one that our systemic comfort can often be at the harrowing expense of others, thousands of miles away.

Oh I just loved it. And I LOVED the music! I noticed it several times throughout the movie. I'm glad it won the Golden Globes it did, and I'm hoping it sweeps at the Oscars too. Though it is up against some other greats.
