Can't we see movie like a movie?
I don’t think so, when people object movies like 'Slumdog Millionaire' and criticize for degrading India. I believe its one of the great movies I had ever seen for its inspiring storyline, sensible and touching narration.
Before criticizing we should retrospect once. Haven't we heard of orphanage rackets earlier? Haven't we heard of fans doing extreme things do gain the attention of their idols? Haven't we seen people cheating tourists in various locations.
Agreed the Americans are glorified, in the dhobighat scene in Agra. (...well, here is a bit of real America, son...). What do you expect in a foreign movie, where India is still believed to be land of snake charmers? At the end of the day it’s just a movie. Watch a movie, if you like it, fine , or else leave it and watch another movie, which you might like. Why criticize? (Like they say in the movie, maybe its written)
I believe, Danny Boyle, has done a great job in elevating where India is lacking. Instead of criticizing, why can’t we focus on improving the slums?
While growing up I am told that I should be proud of my country. Sometimes I wonder "Should I?"
