Danny Boyle
A brief introduction about the chosen film director along with a summary of the themes and morals surrounding his filmography.
DIRECTOR BIO
Danny Boyle, (born October 20, 1956, Manchester, England), British director and screenwriter whose films were known for their bold visual imagery and exuberant energy. In 1987 he made his directorial debut with the television movie Scout. He directed various other television projects before helming his first feature film, Shallow Grave (1994). The crime thriller was noted for its energetic visual style, which became a trademark of Boyle’s work. In 1996 the director scored his big breakthrough with Trainspotting. The darkly humorous look at heroin addicts became an international hit and one of the United Kingdom’s highest-grossing and most popular films. Boyle helmed Slumdog Millionaire (2008), an unconventional drama romance set in India. Despite early doubts about the film—many questioned whether audiences would see a movie that contained scenes of extreme child abuse, violence and torture and that featured extensive dialogue in Hindi with English subtitles—it was a huge critical and commercial success. Boyle received an Academy Award for best director, and Slumdog Millionaire won seven other Oscars, including one for best picture. This movies focuses on a young boy rid in poverty, Jamal. It starts at the beginning of Jamal’s life when he was still under his elder brother Salim’s care. The two boys ran away from their village early on because their mother was brutally murdered in an anti-Muslim rampage on their Mumbai slum. Boyle continued to earn acclaim with his next film, 127 Hours (2010), which he co-wrote with Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy. The drama, which was based on a true story, centers on a hiker’s struggle to survive after his arm becomes trapped by a fallen boulder. 127 Hours received six Academy Award nominations, including one for best adapted screenplay.
