Analysis Of Slumdog Millionaire

In Katherine Boo’s “Opening Night: The scene from the airport slums,” we see the continual contrast in Mumbai between the extremely poor and the rich. She describes the effects of extreme poverty. The juxtapositions highlight the social disruption, economic disadvantages can cause. We also learn that movie’s depiction of slums is glamorized and unrealistic. Most shocking the author focuses on several characters, mostly young people (like Sunil), and describes the environment they live in. We see the overwhelming effects of extreme poverty in every aspect of their lives and realize they will not be able to escape and rise out of the slums. The lack of education and jobs are preventing these people from progressing. We realize how the rich

The Movie that I choose to analyze was the movie The Wolf of Wall Street this movie is about a guy who is starting off his career wanting to earn money fast so he goes to Wall Street and works as a broker for a small firm, where he ends up picking up bad advice along with some bad habits that get him rich fast, but not in a very ethical way. Some of the main characters that I will be talking about in this essay are Jordan Belfort also referred to as Jordy, he is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Donnie Azoff Played by Jonah Hill. There are many other characters in this movie, but these are the main characters that are faced with difficult dilemmas. A lot of the choices that are made in this movie are Unethical. Even though it seems that he does everything for greed you end up understanding the reasons he did those things, but even though they are done for the right reasons does not mean it is right.

How does a person make their dreams become a reality? In both books The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry the two main characters, Esperanza and Walter, are longing to fulfill their dreams. The defined images of a women's role in society, racial discrimination, and life-changing obstacles are just some of the ways both characters have difficulty of achieving their dreams. Although these books are different in many ways, they share the similarity of trying to find themselves and make their high-hoped dreams become reality in the struggling community around them.

Social Class /pg. 96: Large number of people who have similar amounts of income and education. A lot of people in the slums never got to go to school because their parents couldn’t afford it. From the documentary, many people are working very hard to be able to send their children to school. Parents who send their children to school only have one dream, for their children to get out of the slums and be successful. Just in the mega slum, there is 12 schools. To these people, education is very important, if you can afford it. Just like in The Harvest, these children’s dreams are to get an education and become doctors and scientists and

Both the movie Slumdog Millionaire and the novel White TIger were set in India, but the two pieces tended to respresent two ideas that clashed together. In Slumdog Millionaire, the main character is honest and rises above corruption, making it out of the slums of the world and even gets a girl! Balram in White Tiger, however, succeeds in life by become less human and more corrupt. The novel itself pretty much laughs in the face of the usual story of the good guy winning.

Poverty and oppression is a serious condition that is prevalent even in today’s modern society. Women and children are exposed to poverty and subjected to a life of injustice. One of the countries where such problems still occur is in India. Despite the country’s modernization, there lies an undercity where the disparity of wealth is transparent. These social problems are thoroughly described in movies and literature such as Slumdog Millionaire and Behind the Beautiful Forevers. In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Catherine Boo, the author describes slum life for a set of individuals and the hardship that their social conditions confined them to. Another movie that gave insight to slum life in India is Slumdog Millionaire

In the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ and film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ the protagonists, key figures in both texts, are limited to what they can achieve by their social status within the societies they live in. The protagonist’s status refers mainly to a class system of the rich and the poor and their society being one of economic instability, with lack of opportunities to escape their lives of the lower class. Both ‘Of Mice and Men’ and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ convey themes such as poverty, delegation to a class system and education.

The life story of the protagonist Jamal Malik in Slumdog Millionaire is built through the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and a series of his flashbacks revealing how his life experiences gave him the right answers to every quiz question in the show. It displays the way he formed his destiny. On the day when running away from the Hindu rioters who brutally killed his mother just because of the religious difference, Jamal accidentally met Latika. Driven by the

In the movie Slumdog Millionaire, Salim and Jamal made many choices that affected them very differently even though they were both presented the same obstacles. In fact, the decisions that Jamal has made throughout his life helped him to acquire all the answers to the questions presented to him on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”. The choices that they made were sculpted by their poverty and surroundings. Larry Ervin, the author of Slumdog Millionaire's Artful Dodge - Film Review, states “From the same mother, nurtured by most of the same harrowing experiences, Jamal and Salim follow different paths. The older brother is seduced down the path of money and power, employing his stolen gun in service of a local gangster,

India is a country in central Asia with a population of over 1.22 billion people making it the second most populous country in the world. Its high population is one of the factors that results in India having such a high poverty rate. In India today over 37% of the population live below the poverty line. The reality of such a statistic means that these people live in conditions unimaginable to people of the western world. In the film Slumdog Millionaire by director Danny Boyle deeper ideas associated with this poverty are developed including destiny, loyalty and how poverty frees us. These deeper ideas are developed through visual techniques
