Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do while school was in session.
???? One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire. Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the globe!
???? Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (貧民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the grand prize in an Indian show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. The night before he answers the prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (盧比)! But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions. Viewers also learn about Jamal’s childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover, Latika.
???? The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大樓) financial center. Jamal and Salim take a moment to reminisce (回憶) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through a window down to the shacks (簡陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. It was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together.
???? So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios (情節) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.
