There are currently almost impossible to see the film Slumdog Millionaire. He came in the wake of criticism, wowing film festival audiences and critics, and went to all Snap award is his name all over the world.
He is currently nominated for 10 Oscars and 11 British Academy of Film and Television Awards. Some of these crossover film Slumdog Millionaire, a tribute to India's Hindi film industry in many respects. More realistic picture of modern India, argue that it is contested by those who like the movie, as strange, if you love caught inaccurate perceptions of poverty.
But it's worth it to put aside such claims and counter claims in the amount of time to prepare for a movie
History of human life
Based on an Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup Book Q And rags Slumdog tells the story of Jamal Malik, who grew up in slums in Mumbai.
Malik has been a participant in the Indian version of Who becomes a millionaire competitive?, Around which the film.
Malik life passes in front of an audience in a series of flashbacks, as a "slumdog" with his own experience to answer every question correctly. What uneducated "Tea-servant" - Malik is working on the life of tea in the Call Center - is located within reach of the final decision of any offer may upset your hosts, which totally under local police.
According to the third level of police, Malik said that the police, how he knew all the answers. We see that each question prompt painful reminder Mindscape Malik, we see poverty, violence, crime and love in the life of Malik, who conspire to the presidency of the contest participants.
Danny Boyle, director of the film, and Simon Beaufoy in the book, give us a film that is competent in many aspects. This is part of entertainment, but separately, each of the flashbacks, that they show, Malik is a reality for the majority of the poor in India.
But a dispute over authenticity may have stemmed from the fact that all these cartoons are knitted to the story of human life. While competition in this movie as the perfect device to weave together the movie experience of many Malik, his life was not without danger.
Why is only those questions that somehow lives Malik? And why do these questions in a chronological manner that with the growth of Malik, a mischievous boy to a teenager who witnessed the unspeakable violence and crime?
We can say that the filmmakers are licensed movie plot device in any way to find, but this is not the majority of critics and commentators, not only in the West and in India, in the film "realist.
The film presents the issues of India as a whole, and the slums in Mumbai, in particular, either due to lack of closet space and large differences between Hindu and Muslim communities to violence, or the influence of the underground.
By linking them together, often superficial and clearly plausible ways to shock the audience, the director gives us something like the "spirit of Mumbai slums Guide." Strikingly, this guide will be as many critics of the Gospel and browsers.
The reality is sometimes missing
Slumdog Millionaire is better seen, do not pay those consequences, as is a few points that Rankl people questioned the authenticity. One understands that, although the characters in the film speak English (the author of The English version of the film), in real life, spoken Marathi (the language of the Indian state of Maharashtra in Mumbai is the capital) and Hindi (the official language in India). But unmistakably British accent actors Dev Patel, who plays Malik, it is particularly unpleasant.
Three Musketeers The book is an important part of the movie, the movie is people with a book in the near future, they were in school. It is unlikely that the book is in English, was never part of the school in Mumbai. The way data is displayed Malik know the answers to some questions, funny, for example, that, of course, knows the answer to the question on cricket, and who was standing next to the space in which the party is just on TV. No less bizarre is the idea that the child is blind beggar cartel known the name of the U.S. president, whose face on the ticket is $ 100.
The film is not determined by the points that show aspects of India's poverty, and love for Malik Latika (Frieda Pinto) and a large part of his turbulent relationship with his older brother Salim (Madhur Mittal). Is the achievement of Latika, who had been in love since I was a child in the competition Malik.
His capers with Salim in their childhood, in a fast moving train, and in the context of the Taj Mahal (most stereotypes India) are just some of the most vibrant - and even in the most unlikely - the scene of the movie.
Nevertheless, a short distance from the film, is one of the unpleasant truth that only the appearance of reality offered by Salim. After they have been orphaned as a result of the riots, Salim gunman, who may be in a situation that can not escape. The film, which was described as a "fairy tale", the story of Salim was one of despair. Return to him, and so much to tell, as we see it as a child.
Unfortunately, for most of the poor in India, is that Salim is a mirror of life, rather than specific Malik.
