Reflections on Slumdog Millionaire.

Culture is the common language of human beings, especially fine products. Slumdog Millionaire spread so widely that it touched audiences all over the world, because it is a rare masterpiece. In human society, the feelings of goodness are interlinked. When we see beauty, we praise it; Seeing kindness makes us happy; When we see evil, we hate pain. In fact, this is a tragedy that ends in a comedy. Comedy is a comforting reunion; Tragedy is the whole process of film. This is the cruelty of a society to a child.

Drama theory holds that drama can only bring temporary happiness to people, while tragedy gives people a strong shock. Many immortal masterpieces are tragedies. Hamlet, Othello and so on. Slumdog Millionaire resonates with audiences all over the world because its exposure of evil is true and its description of evil's harm to human nature is profound. It makes people think: Where does evil come from? Is it true that when human beings produce evil, they produce evil? In fact, in primitive society, due to low productivity, human beings are barbaric and violent. Evil is everywhere. However, people are spiritual animals after all. After all, they have the pursuit of improving themselves and similar situations, and their unremitting yearning for kindness. This kind of good-oriented gene makes human beings barbaric and civilized.

The aversion to evil and the pursuit of good just show the greatness of human beings. No matter how many sins human beings have, no matter how many evil tragedies occur in human society, as long as this kind of good gene exists, it will eventually cross the boundaries of race and nation and bring the most extensive liberation to mankind.

Look at our world, it is far from satisfactory. Racial discrimination, poverty and violent crimes still plague people on a large scale. All kinds of tragedies are staged every day. But as long as all mankind cherish this kind heart, there is hope for mankind; There is hope for a better world.

Reflections on Slumdog Millionaire (2)

Slumdog Millionaire is both tragic and warm, so it conquered people's hearts and showed that people's demand for sadness and inspiration is endless-especially in the economic crisis.

Jamal Malik, an orphan who grew up in a slum, participated in a TV program-"Who wants to be a millionaire". As long as he answers all the questions correctly, he can get a bonus of 20 million yuan. Previously, even lawyers, politicians and highly educated scholars were defeated in this program, but Jamal, who is 18 years old, was able to walk all the way to the last question of the last night. As long as he answers this last question, he will get the final bonus. But at this moment, Jamal was arrested by the police on suspicion of cheating. Yes, who can believe that a little boy with almost no cultural knowledge can answer all the questions correctly? But a few people know that Jamal's original intention of really participating in this TV program is just to find the love of his life-Lachica. In order to prove his innocence, Jamal told the police the story of growing up in a slum. Through his description of his hard life, everyone knows that it is not accidental or cheating that he can answer those questions on TV programs. It turns out that the answer to every question can be found in his life experience, because these answers are inspired by his life experience.

The heaviest and most memorable part of the film is Jamal's confession at the police station, which reveals why Jamal happened to know the correct answers to those questions. Those answers were accompanied by Jamal's life track full of blood, tears and fears, and witnessed the joys and sorrows of ordinary Indians and the hardships of pursuing a happy life. Large-scale religious conflicts, sinister orphanages, vagrant life, gangs-big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, desperate and suffocating injustice fills the bottom society, and the jungle law of the jungle threatens everyone. My brother, who lives alone, started a bloody killer business, and his first girlfriend also fell to dust. What remains unchanged is Jamal's kind and upright heart, as well as his faith and desire for love, justice and happiness.

Dumas' novel three musketeers, which runs through the whole film, is a very vivid setting, and it also gives the film a legendary temperament with a cruel background.

Here, Jamal said to Latikka, "We will live in a big house beside Haboda Road. You and me. And sarin. Three musketeers. "

"In the moonlight. You and me. Shall we dance together? " However, the most heartbreaking scene in the plot soon appeared. At the last minute, Sherim let go and gave up Latikka, which may become a burden in three musketeers. I feel sad to see Latikka disappear at the end of the track.

Jamal is not a natural saint, and his sympathy runs through the whole movie. The separation of the Three Musketeers paved the way for Jamal's efforts to save Latikka in the future. Jamal's sympathy from the beginning of his escape turned into friendship in his sufferings with Latikka, and sublimated into affection among beggars, which became his motivation to find Latikka when he was a teenager. After saving Latikka for the first time, the whole emotional line was clear and pure.

Another Three Musketeers, Jamal's brother Sherim, is also in good shape. He and Jamal are completely opposite in character. He has no moral constraints and unrealistic romantic temperament. He believes in the survival of the fittest and acts fruitlessly. He has the courage to save Jamal, the determination to kill the gang leader, and the greed and cruelty to betray Latikka for wealth. But at the last moment, he was moved by Jamal's insistence, rescued Latikka, buried himself in the money he pursued all his life, fought to the death with the gang leader and died peacefully. In fact, this character is closest to Dumas' Three Musketeers' personality, that is, he has a fanatical pursuit of secular fame and fortune, but puts friendship above his most valued fame and fortune.

In three musketeers, Latikka stands for love, selim stands for affection, and Jamal stands for friendship and great love. This can be seen from what happened to Jamal and the child who unfortunately became a blind child among beggars. Jamal deeply regrets his survival. The fate of these unfortunate children is the same. Jamal is Latikka, a blind child, a poor child who can't decide his own destiny in any slum. The difference is that Jamal has a brother who loves himself and gave his life to protect himself. This also makes the joyful picture of Jamal and Latikka dancing together full of bitter tears. Because this picture is incomplete, three musketeers can't be together, and one of them must be sacrificed to save the other two. As the saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it." Jamal's life is full of struggles and choices. Finally, the dream was half realized, which made the whole story more real.

Life is the biggest theme in works of art, even the life of a gangster and tramp can be an epic, so the works of art describing life are usually serious, while Boyle's description of Jamal's life is vivid and infectious. When Jamal is happy, we are also radiant. When Jamal was in danger, our palms sweated. We were also very sad when Jamal's girlfriend Laqi Ka left him.

Slumdog Millionaire is very worthy of the audience's careful taste, and many details in it have a feeling of "whispering". The first question that the host asked Jamal turned out to be who was the star of a movie, and that star was what Jamal admired most when he was a child. In order to get his autograph, he played a joke, which made people laugh. This episode has a sense of tribute. Many directors will make a special film about movies out of their special admiration for film art, such as Tonatore's Cinema Paradise and Wenders's Phantom of Light. Boyle probably pays tribute to the art of film in his own way in this paragraph.

The success of this film is due to the director's non-whitewashing, non-affectation and non-tossing. The cruel life in slums, the dreams and hopes of India, an emerging Asian country, are vividly presented to the audience through restrained lenses. Slumdog Millionaire is so touching that it not only captures the true darkness and cruelty, but also never gives up its ideals and innocence in such cruelty. Many paragraphs in the film are quite like fairy tales, but they have been brutally destroyed. The unyielding ideal in the film is the protagonist Jamal. He didn't pursue what he wanted with his strength and ambition like his brother Shelim, he just never gave up. For an idol's signature, he can jump into the cesspit. He never gave up his partner, but he still went back to the fire pit to find his partner trapped in the gang after he escaped. He loves a person, no matter how time and environment change, he is the same as Forrest Gump. He didn't have any grandiose feats and shocking actions. He just insists, never gives up, never gives up. This character makes us feel ashamed and wary of mediocrity.

Reflections on Slumdog Millionaire (3)

This film reflects the present situation of the whole society by showing the experiences of a group of slum children from childhood to adulthood. The unique narrative technique of this film greatly enriches the audience's demands for the whole film. From the beginning, the first question asked by the star revealed the fate of Gemma Malik as a child. Behind these questions, it not only reflects Gemma's life and growth, but also shows the living state of the whole Indian society.

What impressed me the most was the third religious question put forward by the host: what is the right hand of Rama described in Hindu righteousness? At this time, the film reflects the death of Gemma's mother when she was a child. She was killed by Muslims and other religious advocates. When those fanatics beat these innocent civilians with wooden sticks, what Rama held in his right hand was just an indelible mark in Gemma's heart: bows and arrows.

It is through these questions that Gemma's experience in growing up gradually emerges, and the audience can't help sighing for the young people who have suffered so much. The police thought it was incredible that Gemma could answer these questions, even the host thought it was impossible, so everyone thought Gemma was cheating, but through the film and these stories, the audience understood why Gemma could answer them: this is the answer that a person threw with his life.
