The up-escalator

Seen "Slumdog millionaire" yesterday and must confess that I like it.
I like it in the same way I like "Purple rose of Cairo", I think in this day and age it provides what movies had been giving people throughout the years : escapism, a chance to dream, a common ground for hopes and grievances...
Like in "Purple rose", in "Slumdog" somebody from one side of the screen, switches to the other and magic is then possible...
Had read a S.Rushdie comment on "The Guardian" about it, but I think he completely misses the point about "Slumdog" and misfires, well it's a nice piece about adpating a piece of art into another media...
Also loved the soundtrack, which is perfectly adequate for the movie.
