as an indian i would like to say i am so upset that slumdog millionaire won for best picture at the oscars. why? anyone who knows bollywood would know movies like slumdog are made every year in bollywood. . it only got the attention it did because it was......wait for it.......directed by a WHITE guy. i didnt want to play the race card, but im playing it anyways. Lagaan shouldve won best foreign film at the oscars for its year, but it didnt. and that was a MUCH better plot than slumdog. thats because no one ever takes bollywood seriously. sure, the movies are known for its unlogical plots and belly dancing songs, but every year there are movies that are (if not better) like slumdog. and they are worth watching, im so pissed off that people make fun of the cast as well. you're making fun of people of my culture, you're making fun of me. what i really hate the most is that bollywood is becoming this trend in hollywood. watch people are going to be wearing saris on the red carpet soon. its not a trendy thing for me, its life. i live in my culture everyday, and i absolutely hate the fact that hollywood is explioting MY culture.
on related news, i was at my dad's apartment the other day, and i was watching trivial pursuit and there was this guy that claimed he was the doppleganger of, the king of bollywood, shahrukh khan (SRK). first of all, except for the cheekbones, he looked nothing like the guy: he was too short, looked mexican, and his hair was brown and he was tan. in case you dont know how shahrukh looks like just look below. and if u seen the trivial pursuit episode i was talking about, you know what i mean. well i guess thats all for now. i'll write later this weekend, after i study for my psych test, and write my ballad for poetry of course, till then.......
