What can you think of, when it comes to a good and inspirational movie?
This could be very easily defined after watching the biggest blockbuster of 2009, "Slumdog Millionaire".
The description of this movie can be elaborated by observing keen interest of George W. Bush (Former President of The United States of America) in this movie that he asked to watch Slumdog Millionaire in his extravagant huge theater room situated in White House, Washington. The director of this movie is Danny Boyle written by Simon Beaufoy, co-directed in India by Loveleen Tandan, and produced by Christian Colson, set and filmed in India.
Do we really have to always discuss the themes of movies? Isn't it some movies speak for themselves?
Just like slumdog millionaire. Slumdog Millionaire lends itself to a thematic reading, in part because it deals with so many, and in part because it does so in such a complex way: innocence and malice might collide, but there are no black-and-white delineations of Good and Evil here – as in life (less often in the movies) moral fault-lines run through every character, every social structure.
Initially, two brothers Jamal and Saleem, fighting and craving for their lavish destinations, put these two brothers in a small slum town where the poverty is at its acme. Crimes were being acknowledged, but no one stands and speaks for the injustice,
Well, when justice prevails, crime makes it way through every hard and easy times. The younger brother Jamal was keen observer and he met a girl Latika when they were leaving their town, after roits took place. This girl was a benchmark in his life, and he couldn't get through this girl because his elder brother Salim deceived him and didn't let Latika to leave that town with them.
After a while ago, two young blokes tried to find out their way through great misery, nevertheless not by legal way. They tried to rob people's stuff, they robbed their cars and enjoyed rolling out like this.
After this took place, Salim started having contacts with some real life thugs and his adolescence was being quite vital because of his interest in guns and drugs and sometimes roses as well.
Jamal disliked this kind of stuff and he started backing out, and suddenly they found Latika in dance tutorial classes held by the mafias of the town.
Jamal and Salim flee with Latika but the mafia guys found them and abducted Latika. Salim was quite involved in real life crimes now whereas , Jamal was still in search of Latika and meanwhile he used to be a " Chai waaala" (a tea boy ) at some telecom communication services which was also running the service for Who Wants to be a Millionaire. By the time, Salim got loaded with black money because now he was mentoring junior mafia people and on the other hand Jamal got selected in who wants to be a millionaire. Latika always could felt love for Jamal because he never tried to do anything wrong with him and he ended up talking to Latika on the last question of Who wants to be a millionaire. Salim was bound by his mentors and money promises which lead him to kill himself and Jamal wins the contest Who wants to be the millionaire, This was the jackpot of his life and he also finds Latika, waiting for him on a a train station.
Well, this movie could be really a moral and inspirational movie for everyone which might delivers us a message that Always choose the right path no matter how hard, because the right path will take you to right way of life!
