Dawn, don't listen to Que.

Watch it and come back and let's discuss it.

I didn't mean you "had" ruined it and you did do a good job of "asking" without giving it away (maybe you could give Que a few tips ).

If we say "too" much especially about that part, it won't be a surprise. And I agree!

I agree. Really good movie.

Later.

I am also Indian, but i think their argument was more on the characterization that "the slumdogs had on themselves". I think it was depicted that people viewed themselves as low, when they really don't
