While i was preparing our radio programme* i realized there is some conversation about reality TV(who wants to be a millionaire?) between Jamal and Latika in this movie.
Jamal: Why everybody watching that kind of programmes?
Latika: That is because it is some kind of escape. To a new world.
And another point is that:
In following parts, Jamal is joining to programme "Who wants to be a millionaire?". Actually he is not joining for a new life. He is joining because , Latika is watching that programme. And can find him from this, because he lost Latika.
While he was racing at this programme, he is doing so well and the directors of this programme is really being anxious(he is going to get the money!!!). And the announcer , trying to cheat. In one question, Jamal feeling confusion between two answer. The true answer is D. But announcer saying it is B in the advertisement-break. So that is another fact about reality-TV's. Their aim is not to make ordinary-people rich or famous. They are just puppets for them.
*We have a programme(called "İzlenen Nağmeler") at radyoSU on every Thursdays 21.00! We are selecting one movie and talking about it , commenting it deeply, and playing it's soundtrack with Eyüp Müslüm. I would be really happy if you want to listen. We are going to mention the movie: Slumdog Millionaire at this week.
(Dear Sonja, sorry for advertisement, because that is not directly connected with our blog's syllabus =))
This post shows great creativity and evidence of critical thinking. Very, very nicely done.
ReplyDelete(and I think the advertisement part went well with this post, don't worry!)
Yes, TV channels exploit people very often. Some of us are just puppets for them, you are right.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I did not like that movie.. People exeggerate it..

ReplyDeleteThe movie, Slumdog Millonaire, shows the other angle, right.But a lot of people watched it without criticizing and said simply "I liked the movie,it was fantastic." The point is, why did you like it? or So what? Thank you, for showing us "So what?" =)
ReplyDeleteDear Sonja, thank you very much for your comment and for your tolerance about advertising :)
ReplyDeleteDear Can,
The story was little simple right but i think fiction,montage,music and cast selection(espeacially little childrens) was perfect. So, i think the exaggeration caused from this things. Thank you very much ^^
