Slumdog Millionaire

We had a somewhat rare night at the movies last night. Taking the advice of some of my relatives, we saw Oscar-frontrunner Slumdog Millionaire. It was pretty good, we were both impressed. It wasn't exactly what I expected, although in retrospect I'm not sure why. Some of the more graphic scenes took us a little by surprise, but in the end I thought it was a very good story and film. I don't know how it stacks up against the other Oscar contenders, since I haven't seen any of the others. But Chelsey read something that said Slumdog Millionaire would be the closest thing to a foreign-language film that has ever won Best Picture, which would be cool.
