I personally loved this film, it made me think about indian culture and how hope can change the lives of those who are unfortunate to grow up with very little. It relates to everyone, because everyone has a dream and therfore is a classic film.
I loved many things about this film, especially how the questions related to Jamal's life, therefore we also had insight to a love story, between Jamal and Latika, his childhood sweetheart. Also i really enjoyed the insight to the slum life, and the colour reflected indian culture.
I didn't like how the scenes of torture were shown, though it is unfortunately part of the culture, it really upset me, as i believe in equality and acceptance of each individual.
the trailer is below
This film has many positive reviews, but all the negative comments go out to Jamal, who made his acting 'unbelieveable' with his accent, contrived, pretentious, absurd, hollow, inauthentic, a pseudo-statement about social justice. However, the film was highly praised as it 'that it transcends all boundaries: race, gender, region and class.'
And i would gladly say that it is a 'classic film' Please watch this incredibe film everyone
I do love this film Raisa. It was really great for awareness of Indian culture too and made it all really cool. And we all love a happy ending don't we!
ReplyDeleteYou should get hold of the audiobook version of the actual book. It has a lot more detail than the film and is actually different enough from the film to be quite interesting. The film is a bit cheesy (as expected!) compared to the book.
