I just saw Slumdog Millionaire and loved it! But I’ve also been listening to the debate over its depiction of India and Mumbai. This is a fairly traditional “rags to riches” story that might have been set anywhere, but the backdrop of one of the most populated places on earth made it more interesting (not disparaging), in my opinion.
I’m wondering if anybody else is seeing a higher level of interest at this point in time in movies and music with multicultural themes, or am I being overly influenced by “Obamania”
