Danny Boyle addresses classism and xenophobia by including elements of Bollywood and Hollywood films in Slumdog Millionaire most clearly represented by the dance number at the end. The reason that Jamal’s character has all of his power is because the weakness of being a Slumdog has become his strength. It creates in the audience an urge to pine for him, to save slum dogs and to redistribute the wealth: all of which could be considered quite dangerous to India’s capitalistic power structure as well as caste system.

Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle, is a movie about the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan, and his underdog performance on India’s version of the show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”. Jamal goes all the way, winning 20 million rupees (the currency of India). After the end of the first night, Jamal gets arrested and accused of cheating. While in the police station, he is brutally beaten and heavily interrogated as to how he, a “slumdog” (a child who was raised in the slums), knows all of the answers. Trying to prove his innocence, he reflects back on his harsh childhood. He proclaims that the reasoning for him knowing all of the answers is because of all of the rough experiences he had as a child. The movie flashes back to the moments in which he learned the answers. Severe poverty, underdevelopment, starvation, violence, and dirtiness are clearly portrayed in the rugged slums of Mumbai during these flashbacks. The other side is shown, too, with Javed, who is a “slumlord” and lives in a massive, guarded mansion. Classism is the reason for both sides of the spectrum.

Introduction: The movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, directed by Danny Boyle, takes place in one of the most poverty stricken areas of Mumbai, India, home of Jamal Malik. At such a young age, Jamal has been put through many horrific hardships beyond his control, such as growing up in the disease ridden slums of India. All his life he has constantly been pushed around, yet he continues to stay strong and his strength and determination to find Latika pushes him through any adversities life throws at him. It is through his determination, honesty and loyalty that Jamal shows he is deserving of happiness.

Slumdog Millionaire shows Jamal’s “slumdog” childhood as an exciting adventure, carefree, always finding ways to acquire food or money, and narrowly escaping punishment for his deviant acts every time; however, the reality of childhood in the slum is better illustrated in Boo’s book since it expose the danger of problems such as hunger, illness and childhood deviance. Behind the Beautiful Forevers describes numerous children’s tragic death due to the pressures of their hardship and social injustice. Sometimes leading them to unjust death on the road without clear cause. For example, Sanjay, a young boy in the slum was pressured to end his life after he thought that he was going to be captured and tortured by police or killed by gangsters for being a witness to a crime. Boo described, “[Sanjay] was convulsing on the floor. Pulling Sanjay up, thinking that he was having a seizure, his mother caught a chemical reek on his breath. His sister retrieved a white plastic bottle from the corner of the room...But the empty plastic bottle was rat poison…He lived for two hours after reaching the public hospital” (Boo 171-72). The tragic death of Sanjay shows the immense pressure of living in the slum which can lead to a young boy taking his life away without second thoughts. On the other hand, Slumdog Millionaire shows Jamal stealing and scamming with his

In Slum Dog Millionaire, Boyle provides the Westerners with a sigh of reality of India which is close to the third world poverty. According to me, the film uses overdramatic and overemotional styles to upsurge mindfulness of scarcity on children in India. Moreover, Jamal and Salim throughout the movie represent poverty that is signified clearly from their clothes, the area that they live in, the way they talk and the way they are treated in the movie.

Slum Dog-Millionaire is a movie about an eighteen-year-old named Jamal Malik who answers questions on the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”. The movie shows flashbacks of how he got there. His mother died at a very young age and Jamal and his brother, Salim, live on the streets of Mumbai barely getting by in life. Along their journey they meet an orphan girl named Latika who becomes part of the three musketeers but, soon the brothers separate their ways with Latika since they were able to escape from gangsters. His brother seems to be getting by life with crime but Jamal is the opposite, he gets by life by small jobs and eventually ends at the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”.

Rising from the slum to become a millionaire is a one in a million chance. Yet Jamal, the main character of Slumdog Millionaire, has raised his life from living in the slums to living the life a millionaire. With their mother dying, Jamal and his brother started off in the slums basically living off trash and garbage. From experience, Jamal was able to recall certain events and situations to help him answer certain question on the Who wants to be a millionaire show. For example, Jamal was able to answer the question, “What does God Rama hold in his right hand?”by simply remembering the time after his mother was killed and him and his brother, Salim, were being chased. (Thesis) Not only did the plot of the movie made the movie interesting and amazing to watch, but the acting, aging through camera transitions, and overall goal of Jamal to find Latika throughout conflicts made Slumdog Millionaire an amazing movie.

Environment is an important aspect in shaping people and objects. The environment can contribute to the presentation of a signage of an establishment to sell merchandise or food. To make a place presentable, people usually focus on the environment that it’s in. Whether the environment is unkempt or upscale will determine if cliental will eat or shop there. For example, if someone were to go to a restaurant they’ve never been to, they’d be observant of the surroundings. They would question if the restaurant looked clean, if the food was safe to eat, if the people who make the food are clean, and if the restaurant itself was presentable. When people go to famous eateries, they expect the consistency in each restaurant. It’s good for the business itself to keep its consistency for travelers and returning customers.
