it wouldn't be on Africa ,
he'd be fed up of those monstrous jungles ๐
as far as i know it is supposedly going to be a fictional story set in europe and the like
I def think SD will win a lot of oscars and ARR is def bringing the oscar home this time. The movie will win not bcoz of slums being shown which is a total misconception. Its bcoz of its treatment and the brilliant script and the way its taken combining a reality show and a person's real life experiences.
as for SD, hope it wins many oscars, I am rooting for it , go SD

My feelings exactly! I'm hoping that ARR especially brings home the Oscar, even if this isn't his best work ever....the Oscars sometimes recognize a talent later than when it really deserved...so that's fine too.
As for the rest, I want the movie and Danny Boyle to win too cuz it is one of the rare movies in recent times whose narration style I was really impressed by and the direction was also fantastic! It is a story which just touches the heart....and that is what should be the basis of any great movie.
Vis a vis the accents of the grown up versions of Jamaal etc...that much is understandeable since the movie was in English....now if they were speaking Hindi in a broken British accent, that would have been more jarring.
I am just amazed that a non-Indian filmmaker managed to capture the HEART of India so well in a movie!

As for TZP not making the cut, in India, it might have been a unique concept which has never been touched before but in america there are and have been several moves made to show such kind of movies.
Also the way they showed hostel life esp boarding school life gave a total wrong impression evident when aamir came as a guest in srgmp and several people spoke abt how they as a parent felt so bad leaving their kids in boarding schools and after seeing the movie borught them back, thats ridiculous and a complete wrong picture and understanding of the movie.
