"The Millionaire in the Slums" is a Film about the Story of India by British director Danny, which won an Academy Award as soon as it came out. For this film, the audience has mixed reviews, and at one point there were rumors that Indians felt that the film was slandering India and banned it.
What story does this film tell? Why is it on the cusp of the storm?
The story of the film is simple, simply put, a young boy who grew up in the slums, Jamal, who participated in the millionaire show and won the ultimate award that many intellectuals could not get. Through the interspersed narrative technique, the film tells a series of experiences when Jamal grew up.
The tone and color of the film and the picture are rich in strong Indian color, the story of the film also tells the life of the lower classes in India, the story can also see the religious contradictions in India and social problems such as the underworld and human traffickers, through the story of the two brothers, you can see the persistence, kindness, courage, perseverance and other human shining points.
Although there are some debatable aspects of the film, overall I like this film and would like to recommend it to everyone.
I would like to focus on the two little boys portrayed in the film, who have very different characters.
His younger brother Jamal was a persistent, kind, and romantic man.
He would jump into the pit for a signed photo; he was willing to help the little girl in the rain, knowing that he was not safe;
He always trusted his brother unconditionally; after many years he had to look for the little girl who had been abandoned by his brother; he never stopped looking for his brother's footprints in the years of his life; even as a tea worker he would learn from the classroom.
The older brother Salim is different from the younger brother, he is brave, determined and quick-witted.
He gets business opportunities from going to the toilet and does business with people;
He took his brother's hard-won autographed photographs and sold them for money; when his mother died in front of them in a religious conflict, he did not hesitate to pull his brother to flee; he did not agree with his brother to take in poor little girls, but he did not close his eyes and silently guard their safety;
He became a child king in the gang of traffickers, managed a large number of small hairy children, and won the attention and trust of the traffickers; he shoved the crying children into Latika's hands, so that he could make three times as much money;
When he learns that the traffickers want to blind his brother's eyes, he does not hesitate to give up the opportunity to become a core figure and drags his brother to escape;
On the train, he let go of Latika's hand, because he knew that he was in danger, giving up was the best option for him and his brother, and Latika would not be in danger of life;
During the years of wandering with his brother, he took his brother to sell small things on the train to make a living; he pretended to be a tour guide to lead tourists around the Taj Mahal to get tips; he stole the shoes of tourists outside the Taj Mahal to set up a stall for secondary trading; he took American tourists to the laundry and was beaten up and shouted: "Don't you want to see the real India?" I tell you, this is the real India! ”；
He secretly ran to the performance stage to watch the performance and steal his wallet; he took his brother to the restaurant to work for a living; because of his brother's persistence, he accompanied his brother to find Latika, who was drowning in the sea of people; for the safety of everyone, he killed the trafficker boss with a pistol; in order not to be retaliated by the human traffickers, he turned to the human traffickers against his family, and sought skins with tigers just to make a living;
In order to make his brother dead to Latika, he drove his brother away from the hotel, who knows how to separate for more than ten years; when they meet again, Salim is already the core figure in the gang, he does everything, Jamal says I will never forgive you, Salim says I know;
When his brother wanted to elope with Latika, he took a large group of people back to Latika; when he understood that his brother's attachment could not be changed, he released Latika for his brother's wishes;
He sprinkled coins in the bathtub, and died with the gang boss, no one would disturb the happiness of his brother, and his brother became a millionaire and had no worries, and he was buried in the small bathtub, perhaps this was his redemption for himself.
The purity and persistence of the younger brother is certainly precious, but that is also because the older brother protects the younger brother under his own wings that are not plump.
In my brother Salim, I saw the trade-offs and responsibilities of a little boy.
Salim is definitely not a good person, and he has done many things that hurt nature, but his perseverance and brave determination in the face of the unknown allow him to survive in a chaotic environment and let his brother be taken care of.
Salim's plump character is an important reason for the film's brilliance.
We don't have to talk about right and wrong, what we can see is diversity of humanity and unchanging persistence.
Although it is rare to have the heart of a child, it is only to survive with the tiger.
If we are lucky, I hope that we all have the same heart of a child; if we are unlucky, I hope that we do not have to fight with the tiger.
