I want to be a millionaire, a film whose plot could
often become difficult for the public to understand but at the same time, it
has a great impact on its fans. It was
awarded and in turn won many Oscar awards for the fantastic story presented by
the film. The whole story is based on the life of a child whose economic level
is low in India, in which, this is told through the game Who wants to be a
millionaire. its main character is Jamal, a poor boy, whose life has always been playing on the street with his friends
and older brother named Salim. The story begins in an interrogation in which,
Jamal is the main suspect of having made fraud in the games Who Wants to be a
millionaire since, many doctors, lawyers and different professionals have never
been able to get that far with the questions, for that reason It was very
unlikely that Jamal, being an uneducated child, would win. For that reason, it
is that from that moment Jamal began to relate each one of the questions with
each event that he has experienced or has lived. This movie turns out to be
very interesting because it teaches how a person, despite not having the
appropriate education, can get great knowledge with each one of their
experiences.

The movie "Slumdog millionaire" was based on the real
case of Sushil Kumar, an Indian man who faced situations similar to the movie
in his life. But how was the life of this boy affected after winning 50 million
rupees in the "Kaun Banega Crorepathi" contest? In an article of the
BBC it is mentioned "The psychologist Chugh Sanjay says that some people
who get rich quickly" have a total rush, "which can make them
feel" exalted, euphoric and a little grandiose. "But to this he
mentions" I I'm Sushil Kumar himself before I won, "he says."
And I want to remain Sushil Kumar himself. "It's interesting that despite
the great influence of money on people, it does not change their humility and
way of thinking, but it is very important to mention that in large part it is
due to the experiences that this has had and the poverty and abuse that it has
had to suffer, that is why in front of knowing the situation that this man
lived, and the situation of the majority of the inhabitants of the place as in
the film is recognized, it should be aware and give more value and gratitude to
all that is ours.

At the beginning of the film, the story about the difficult
life of a boy named Jamal, along with his brother Salim is mentioned. This child, for some
discriminating reasons, ends up losing his mother in a tragedy, becoming for
his brother his only family, and for that the film is much more interesting
because they give reasons why Jamal could answer those questions almost
"impossible" for someone like him.The first question with the game
'Who wants to be a millionaire?' It gives us a 90 degree turn to the story of
Jamal and all the difficulties that a teenager had to face such a young age,
committing theft, deception but all justified by the need to stay alive even
became touristsOne of the things that stands out is the innocent love of a
small and this is considered pure love, because Lakita remained alone for a
long time, but this did not stop Jamal from thinking about that almost
unforgettable love and the small promises of an innocent child. Another of the
most surprising parts of the film was the unconsciousness of Jamal's brother,
because he could shoot a man and point his brother with a gun to get what he
needed and fulfill his whims.
Therefore the film tragically shapes social
realities and events that children with economic problems have to face, just
because they were not lucky enough to be born in a stable family, that is to
say that the author is based on the feelings of a child, the Love and the
thrill of having the future in your knowledge.

When we started watching the
movie Slumdog Millionaire in classes, I though, in the first stay, that it
would be like the series that was presented in a television program that I used
to watch, called "Who wants to be a millionaire?", Even though this
film deals with that, partly , the main message is not to know that a person
from India, where the film is developed, manages to win a large amount of
money, 20 million rupees, but also shows a clear example of what happens in
countries that do not have a good economic stability and how its inhabitants
manage to survive in that world, as in the case of the protagonists of this
film production: Jamal, Salim and Latika.This film was able to capture the
attention of almost all of its viewers, since in order to understand how the
person who was competing in the program "Who wants to be a
millionaire?" (Jamal) was able to know and answer all the questions
correctly on his own, with the help of the wild cards of course, they show
little by little the childhood, adolescence and youth of that boy, since, for
each question that was asked to Jamal, this directly connected with some event,
in a certain traumatic point, so you know the answers to the respective
questions.
In spite of not being some
kind of comedy or drama, this film manages to show in essence the other kind of
life that many of us do not know: poverty, in my opinion, this film if it
deserves the amount of prizes it has won.
