Confirmation of Status

New York/Vulture's Lane Brown has posted a slapdash, mostly tongue-in-cheek riff about rationales to use against the Slumdog Millionaire juggernaut, to wit: (a) It's too dark, (b) It's not starry enough, (c) No big performances, (d) Everybody's sick of underdogs, (e) Not WWII-y enough, (f) Ending too uplifting, (g) It pals around with terrorists, and (h) Too oddly constructed.

The ending is intended to be uplifting? I find the whole notion that "It is written" to be dispiriting.

Sure, simply experiencing things rather than driving the car may relieve one of stress, but after time, one will find themselves middle age, with a life not of their making.

And promotion of the idea that gambling 10 million rubees on a guess because one's life path is unrelated to their actions is hazardous to game-show contestants everywhere.
