A) Slumdog is excellent. Screw the haters

B) I actually thing it did set a bad precedent for the academy. it’s one of the first non-mainstream movies I ever saw (I had seen Indy movies plenty but it was the first time I ever wanted to see an Oscar winner and couldn’t find it anywhere) and I feel that’s around when the Academy decided to start rewarding non wide release movies.

Not that independent movies winning are bad but from that point I feel like they have tried to really go after movies that nobody saw or have heard of to the detriment of legitimate better movies. Shape of Water, Hurt Locker, Moonlight, Parasite, and Birdman come to mind.

It has plot holes you can drive a truck through, especially the brothers’ choice at the end coming out of nowhere.

I loved it the first time I saw it, but was shocked at how poorly it held up on second viewing.

The Dark Knight was released the same year and this is the film that won BP over it.
