I have yet to watch slumdog, but heard there was some outcry at the portrait painted of Indians. I’m wondering if these criticisms have merit. Am I missing something here, the director said this at the Oscars last night:

“Just to say to Mumbai, all of you who helped us make the film and all of those of you who didn’t, thank you very much. You dwarf even this guy,” Boyle said, holding up his directing Oscar.

Now to say that all of Mumbai dwarfs an Oscar is an insult right?

    Yeah, I think it's an insult. Kindof like saying, "Jesus the savior of mankind, you even dwarf that asshole down the street who is always doing crack and pissing on himself." Jesus would be like, "yeah ... thanks for the ... um, compliment?"

    Well Mumbai, you dwarf that asshole down the street. It's an understatement, but do you feel proud about it? Shit!
