1-.What does the title mean? How does the title and the contrasts within it provide symbolic summary of the film? Well, slum is an area of a city that is marked by extreme poverty, and I read that calling someone a slumdog it's an offense in India, and maybe in another places. Slumdog millionaire, by traduction means simply... someone considered as the lowest from the poorest, becoming rich. Actually, the title has a lot of problems and issues behind it. Some representatives from slums in India filled a lawsuit alleging that "Slumdog" was too rough and it could offend people from the slums in that country. The guy who thought that using the word "Slumdog" wouldn't be problematic was wrong. Besides, the movie itself has provoked a lot of movements: some said it depicts poverty in India so the world could make a new stereotype, some said that India isn't even like that anymore. I think it's a "romantic" way for us to see India.
2-.Early in the film we see the young Jamal dive into a latrine pit to steal a glimpse at a visiting movie star. How does his single-mindedness to see this movie star reveal his determination? What other examples do you see in the film of his determination? Well, all along the movie Jamal fights for what he wants. Through all of his life, he fighted and tried to find Latika, thinking that it was his "destiny" to be with her. I think that for jumping into a pool of poo just for an autograph.. you need to have a lot of guts and a lot of desire for something to do that. The biggest example of his determination is the fact that he chased Latika until he got her.

when i see the name of the movie i also think that the name was kind of rude, but its a great for the movie, it gives you the most importart thing that you need to know to see the movie, the place the boy came from.
ResponderEliminari think that the most important evidence that jamal was very determied its the decision of look for Latika until he find her too. i dont think that it was love exactly but it was a promise that he made and he acumplished
I think that we all spend most our lifes looking for something, jamal just found what he wanted a long time before anyone, and the biggest difrence is that he has an unlimited sice of determination, maybe even to the point he should run it by a shrink...
ResponderEliminarshrink? thats a little rough xD
ResponderEliminari dont know i dont like the idea of looking for someone forever just because it was the only thing i want it. for me its dependence.. and ew.. im cannot live dependending in someone x3
