SlumDog and Valkyrie

I watched Slumdog Millionaire and Valkyrie this week. I enjoyed the Slumdog Millionaire at the beginning until I started to get bored at the 100 minutes mark. It is too draggy and I felt that the love story was irrelevant. I preferred Valkyrie instead, though it was not fantastic. It was based on a real life story happened in World War II. I would prefer it if it was a German movie. It just seemed weird to listen to "Germans" speaking English in a World War II plot. That is why I like "The Lives of Others". It is a great German movie. I can't wait to watch the Japanese movie "Departures", which won Best Foreign Film Academy award this year.
