Despite many social challenges we face today in China(i.e., poverty, social injustice, economic disparity between city and countryside, social inequality, etc..), our movie industry has yet to be able to depict and highlight these issues in full scale for obvious reasons. The annual blockbuster releases such as "天下无贼”,"非诚勿扰“ certainly have its entertainment value, but they are short lived by any imaginative stretch and have no match with the deep emotional appeal as its India counterpart like 'Slumdog Millionare".
In many ways, our society has gradually marginalized a vast majority of our population when our prevailing business models and entertainment machine have skewed to the city dwellers. Overtime, we become desensitized and ignorant about issues we should have concerned. The orientation and subsequent exuberance of our domestic annual blockbuster release is an accurate reflection of that. I sincerely hope "Slumdog millionaire" would provide us a different perspective in that regard.
In certain way, our domestic film industry is like our national soccer team - we have a LONG way to go.
------------------------------------------
Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India¹s "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions.
Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly l<x>ayered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?
When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.
