Hello bloggers Kristin here. I have recently watched Slumdog Millionaire and loved it. Besides the obvious reasons to love it the way Kahle and Liz have already blogged about I wanted to talk a little bit about the director, Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle has had numerous different films in different countries and with very different genres. His first major debut was Shallow Grave which was actually a successful British film.
This movie led to the directing of Trainspotting, based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. Another movie he directed was The Beach which was filmed in Thailand and starred Leonardo DiCaprio. Boyle also did a horror film, 28 Days Later and a science-fiction film, Sunshine.
Boyle had awards for the movies Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, and Slumdog Millionaire. Shallow Grave won awards including audience award and best screenplay at the 1995 Angers European First Film Festival. It also won the Empire Award for best director in 1996. Trainspotting won best feature film at the BAFTA Scotland Awards in 1997. 28 Days Later won the International Fantasy Film Award, best director in 2003. Slumdog Millionaire won many awards including best director at the Academy Awards in 2009 and best director of a motion picture at the Golden Globes in 2009.
