Not so charming...

Well after that little treatise on Slumdog it seems international opinion has turned and all on the voice of one Tapeshwar Vishwakarma! This top slum=representing beauraucrat is going after the films Music Director A H Rahman and its top India-based actor Anil Kapoor. He claims the films title and continuing reference to slum-dwellers and dogs is a violation of many of india's poorest.

Good on you Mr. Vishwakarma! But how about you go after the script-writer? What do the actors and music directors (??!!?!!?!) have to do with the textual content? There's more money in the Rule Britannia imperialists any way. I'm sure Mr Boyle is flush as a bejewelled loo these days. It is they who have rudly exploited the pain and suffering of literally millions of Indian's. It is they who have distilled years of hardship and toil into a 2.5 hour feel-good rag-to-riches story to paste a cathartic smile on the face of middle-class white folk half a world a way and recieve glowing accolations, gold-plated trinkets and buckets of money in doing so.

How much was that young boy paid to jump in that pile of shit???

That said, good film but.....
