Slumdog Millionaire; Questions of refection & discussion

·Early in the film we see the young Jamal dive into a latrine pit to steal a glimpse at a visiting movie star. How does his single-mindedness to see this movie star reveal his determination?What other examples do you see in the film of his determination?

He shows that he is not giving up his wish at an obstacle
, which tells that if he has proposed himself something, he will accomplish it.
All the things he does for founding Latika; asking the blind boy, following Salim, entering the show, etc.

·In the film, the theme of destiny is a central theme. What does it mean that all Jamal desires is just out of his reach? (The prized autograph, Latika, his brother, the answers, etc.)

It means that if we wish something, and be able to fight strongly for it, we may obtain it.

·This film weaves together nightmare and impossible dream. What do you take away as the most important message or impression from the film?

Knowledge is not the same as studies. As the police man and the detective said "Doctors... Lawyers... never get past 60 thousand rupees." They all may have had incredible studies, but had never live even half the experiences Jamal did. Maybe we study a lot more than many people, but they may have learn more than us. We should never understimate no one.

  1. I agree with question 1; his desire to see the star was so strong, that he did'nt minded falling into the pit anf getting all dirty, as long as he saw his favorite star.

    In question 2 I say the part of an impossible dream is the most important, because there ir no impossible dream, as long as you fight for what you believe, you are getting closer to achieve that "impossible dream".
