Part II Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire
is a
2000 British drama film. Set and
filmed
in India, the film tells the story of Jamal Malik,
a
young man from the Juhu slums of
Mumbai who appears on the
Indian
version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and
exceeds
people's expectations, thereby
arousing the suspicions of
cheating.
It
was
widely
acclaimed,
being
praised
for
its
plot,
soundtrack and
directing. It was nominated for 10 Academy
Awards in 2009, winning eight,
including Best Picture, Best
Director,
and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Set
in
Mumbai,
India,
it
is
a
story
about
destiny.
Jamal
Malik,
a
young
man
from
the
slums,
becomes
a
contestant
on
the
Indian
reality show Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire Based on its
American
equivalent,
the
Indian
show
offers
20
million
rupees
($$400 000) to the
winner.
Few expected this
independent production directed by
filmmaker Danny Boyle to make it to the
Oscars. But Slumdog
is
no
longer
an
underdog.
It
has
won
viewers'
hearts
and
gained
critical acclaim. With ten Academy
Award nominations, it is
a
serious
Oscar
contender.
(Movie)
Host:
Jamal
Malik,
you
're
absolutely right!
Jamal
Malik
is
not
knowledgeable.
He
just
happens
to
know
the
answers to the specific questions he's
been asked. Each
question is somehow
related to an event that has defined his
life.
With their
mother dead, Jamal and his brother Salim begin to
steal, trade and sleep wherever they
can to survive.
But
the
defining
moment
in
Jamal's
life
is
when
an
orphan
girl
named Latika tags along with them.

Latika is
taken by gangsters and Jamal will not rest until
he sees her again.
Years later, as a young adult, he finds
her at a gangster's
house. She is
locked up, and her only pastime is the Indian
TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Jamal gets on the show
so
she
can
watch
him.
(Movie)
Two
of
the
musketeers
are
called
Athos
and Porthos. What was the name of the third
musketeer
Danny: I'd like to phone a
friend. Host: Here we go. Latika:
Hello.
Latika
answers the phone. When they were kids, she was
the
third musketeer. Jamal and Salim
were Athos and Porthos.
Director
Danny
Boyle's
love
story
is
influenced
by
Bollywood
where everything
is extreme.
Like most
Indian films,
Slumdog
Millionaire
offers up
all-
consuming
passion,
tear-
jerking
drama
and
a
happy
ending.
The
film's
dynamic
music
and
vivid
colors
enhance
the
emotions.
Its
fairytale
quality
does
not
undermine
Danny
Boyle's
gritty
look at today's India, a country of
extremes itself. (Movie)
Danny: Latika.
