Exchange

The director of Slumdog millionaire is Danny Boyle and is a very well know director. He has directed films such as Shallow Grave, Transportes and 28 Days Later. These are all well know films and all directed by Danny Boyle. 

After the film had been released people went to the cinema to see the film but took a video camera with them to illegally film it movie to make pirate copies of the film and sell them on the streets and make money. Also it was posted on You Tube in parts so that people could also see the film via looking at this very well known and used internet site. 

The Slumdog Millionaire website is brightly colored, eye catching and looks every similar to the film boxer and DVD cover. it has quotes a
bout what film people and the (winner of 4 golden globes) and also statements that are on the film cover (The Feel- Good Film Of The Decade). The website is very catching and interesting to look at and not one part of the web page doesn't have something going on in it. 

Some of the comments that people have put on the IMDB website about Slumdog Millionaire are (FULLY AGREE that it is a good movie, no doubt about it, but it is highly overrated. If u people like this, there are 100s of other Indian Movies that are made much better than this(Both old and NEW). As for Rahman's music, it is GREAT (again no doubt). But this is definitely not his best. Pls go hear "dil se" and u'll know what i am talking about! Compare this movie to previous 
Oscar winners like American beauty, and well, u'll know wat i mean.) Another review that i found on the IMDB website about Slumdog Millionaire was (Danny Boyle has been a favorite of mine since I saw Shallow Grave, since then he's gone on to make three masterpieces(Trainspotting,28 Days Later and Millions), a near perfect film(Sunshine) a guilty pleasure(The Beach) and a total miss(A Life Less Ordinary). Slumdog Millionaire comes out of nowhere and it could very well be his best film and one of the best films of the decade. Visually like Boyles previous work it's stunning, Apocalypse Now and City of God come to mind and there are dutch angles galore. The raw style mixed with the amazing locations make this film one of the most cinematic experiences you'll ever see. The Sound is perfect, I haven't heard audio like this in a while.) 

On one of the blog sites about Slumdog millionaire the writer is saying
that most Bollywood films show the good and happy side of India. But Danny Boyle has show the more sad and poor side which is an unconventional for Indian and Bollywood films. 

Information i found on a blog site about slumdog millionaire. 

Slumdog Millionaire could only have been made by a westerner

Danny Boyle's Bafta-nominated crowd-pleaser shows how blind Bollywood producers are to the reality of India 

After its rapturous reception in Britain and America, knives are being sharpened for Slumdog Millionaire. "Vile," is how Alice Miles described the movie in The Times. "Slumdog Millionaire is poverty porn" that invites the viewer to enjoy the miseries it depicts, she adds.

Even that old iconic Bollywood blusterer, Amitabh Bachchan, has thrown his empty-headed two rupees' worth into the mix. "If Slumdog Millionaire projects India as a third-world, dirty, underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations," he bellowed. "It's just that the Slumdog Millionaire idea, authored by an Indian and conceived and cinematically put together by a westerner, gets creative global recognition," he added.

The information in this section of text explains that the writter feels that it was a good idea for the director and producers to make a film seeing the other side of the India and an Indian life.
