Assignment 2nd partial

2. 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?

It’s determination to see the movie star show that when he want something he go fot it with all he can do, that he don’t quit, he look for other ways to get what he want and don’t let obstacles stop him.

We see more of his determination in all the movie, because all he want is to be with Latika to find her and he made all he can to do it and when he finds her, he’s not leting anyone take her from him.

 

7. In one exchange of dialogue in the film during the interrogation of Jamal, the police inspector discuss the impossibility of what Jamal knows.

Police Inspector: Doctors… Lawyers… never get pass 60 thousand rupees. He’s on 6 million [pause]

Police Inspector: What can our slumdog possibly know?

Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers.

Discuss the irony in the film that Jamal “knows too much” and is suspected of cheating. Discuss the irony that in the end, his poverty may make him rich. What point is the film making? What is real weath?

The irony of the film is that he didn’t need to study or be super intelligent to know all the answers because with all the experiences he has in his life he know everything he needed. And the point that film is doing is that experiences in our daily lives teach us more than school.

 

10. In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer writen on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?

I think that the host gives Jamal the wrong answer because he didn’t want him to be rich or famous like him, or because he suspect he’s cheating and give Jamal the wrong answer to know if he answer that and no the correct one.

Jamal answer another I think it was because with all he has learned in his life, he know he can’t trust anybody and with that he proved it.
