Slumdog Millionare

- Greed, corruption and the misuse of power are highlighted in the film through a variety of characters. How are those who have money and power glamorized in this film? What happens to the victims?
Salim’s boss, he has so much control over his “employees”, everyone do what he told them to and if they didn’t, the most probable thing that he would do is kill them. Latika also suffered from him, they had her chased at the train station and Salim cut her face.

- 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 in the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?
Maybe the host didn’t want Jamal to win and became a millionare as he did once before, I think that he didn’t, like “trust” Jamal because he acused him from fraud. When is was time for Jamal
to choose and answer he chosed the other answer that turned out to be right.

  1. I agree with domie that the ones who have more money ruled over the poor ones.
    Also I agree in the other question jamal choose fifty fifty to see if the answer is there and he choose another because he don't trust the host, maybe the host was jelous of Salim.

  2. I agree that porbably the result of not doing what the boss said was going to end at someone's death, and that his authority was affecting everybody, so it was the best that he died
