I saw "Slumdog'" ( in french ) to-night. I must say I was not only impressed,by Mr. Patel's acting but I was deeply moved. The intensity and the deepness was growing inside of me every minute. I could feel the drama from the memories in his head during the TV questioning. Searching through so many difficulties for the love of his yought makes us think of our own life. The look on this young actor's face when he was answering had all the simplicity of the young boy...." No Problem!" But deep inside... Oh! La La ! I sincerely hope Dev gets a medal. Sorry to call him Dev.... he could be my son,,, I am old enough to be his father. Thank you for the evening I will remember and the film and your name!
