Slumdog Millionaire

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 written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?
He was defeating him, dearing to his knowledge or to his innocence, to see if he was as good* as he appeared, if he was smart enough, if he only had a brain, or he also had social smarts, if you can call it in that way, he had been through a lot of things to trust that easy on someone, of course he would answer the question according to what he believed not letting the host advice interfer.
Also I can say that the host wanted to be the only one that acheived to be a millionaire.

Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?
When the boys could ran away from the guy they worked for, they had to leave the girl behind.
When the grown girl could get to Jamal, Salim died because he helped her.
Jamal had to go to jail because he was giving the correct answers and he was becoming a millionaire, but not everyone had feith on him, and his answers.

  1. I like how the movie gives constrasts about triumphs and losts, because it makes it realistic, like also it shows howo the host was envy and wanted to be the only one that had a reputation of a guy that came from being poor to a millionaire, that's why he gave Jamal the wrong answer.
