Millions: A film by Danny Boyle
(Filed under: Buzz)
It may be early to pick a best movie of 2005, but I think it's safe to give the nod to Millions. It's a family film by Danny Boyle, which is odd enough if you know Danny Boyle (he's responsible for films like 28 Days Later and Trainspotting). Millions has the same rapid-fire editing and special effects, but it's the magical story of a 7-year-old boy who discovers a small fortune and had to decide how to spend it.
Spiritual might be a better word than magical, as the boy, Damian, sees and talks to Christian saints. There's everyone from St. Francis of Assisi releasing doves to St. Peter telling a different version of the feeding of the 5,000. Yet the movie doesn't stoop to family cheese or tacky cliche.
Check out this interview with Danny Boyle.
