Why is it that all these critics groups are choosing Slumdog Millionaire over Man on Wire? Why are they choosing the phony human spirit movie over the real-life one?
Slumdog is not any more phony than any other film. You ride a sad backlash.
Man of Wire was the film of the year.
The Dark Night was more juvenile than Slumdog, but less obvious, and less clearly "literary." I would consider it to be more problematic and as shallow, but more subtle.
Slumdog was a fine film, with certain exceptional aspects and certain rote ones.

I'm finally seeing Man on Wire today, so thrilled!
