A great movie

I already saw this movie, in fact I saw it in the movie theater when it was released and since it was a while back, I thought I might watch it again. I  remember the first time I saw the damned thing though. Indeed, I was and still am a big fan of Danny Boyle's work, I was really eager to see this flick and when it won the Best Picture Academy Award, I became even more intrigued. Apparently, at first, nobody was interested by this project and there was even some rumors that it might end up being released directly on DVD. Eventually, it managed to get released and the critical and public response was so enthusiast and, coming from nowhere, it was even heralded at the Oscars. Personally, even though I can be quite cynical, I actually really loved this movie. In my opinion, it is one of the best combinations of drama, realism and entertainment I have seen and I think it is a great achievement. I always thought that Danny Boyle was a very good director and once again, he didn't disappoint me and I'm really glad he finally received all the recognition he deserved. Personally, I don't really agree with the people criticizing its happy ending, at least, it didn't bother me. The point is that the whole thing is actually some kind of fairy tale (which explains the musical scene at the end) but it is set into a realistic harsh and grim world and I thought that this mix was amazing and to throw 'Who wants to be a millionaire' on top of that was just masterful. Basically, it might be the darkest feelgood movie ever made and how they manage to combine such contradictory vibes was quite a marvel. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is an amazing flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Danny Boyle's work.
