Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire is pretty popular name right now; it is making the world think. Slumdog Millionaire is a movie, which earned the Academic Awards this year (2009) and produced to the world a big controversy about poverty porn. Danny Boyle directed this movie that produced to the world a big thing to think about. They showed about a reality in India, about how the poverty really is. Many people think that is not fair to show this kind of things, but without it how will the world know what’s it going on around? How will people know where to help?

Who wants to be a millionaire? It is a famous game all around the world I think, and this kind of game give chance to change life, for Indian people mean the same. For the principal character of this movie it does not mean the same. Dev Patel plays as Jamal Malik, the principal character, who passes for series of thing that show us the culture and poverty in India. It is a terrible but interesting experience that makes you think about all the things that is happening in this country.

In my opinion, the poor zone of India did not surprise me, because I can see that kind of poverty in my country. Something that surprised me it was the fight because of religion, how they could kill people just because it is not part of one religion. That is something that I never see that kind of things. And it is making me think, how many other things is it making more poverty and social problems around the world? This kind of things is the kind that people should know about.

This movie move pieces that could help to persuade people to help, to contribute with solve this situation in world. So, I really think, this kind of movie are not poverty porn, it is just real poverty.
