Re: Slumdog Millionaire (200
The acting was weak and the story was ok at best.. I liked the overall message of hope though.
I believe this movie is getting so much hype because the US is shopping for allies against Pakistan and India is the obvious answer. That is the only reason this movie is winning Oscars IMOComment

Re: Slumdog Millionaire (200
The overall message wasn't about hope. There's several reasons why this got oscars. It's message was a bomb to indians everywhere, and rightly so. It put into light how truly evil indians can be to their own people. It showed how much the caste system still prevails in india. And it shows even more how difficult it is for people of the lower class/lower caste system to be able to prevail in a semi-draconion society like the one that currently exists in India. It did what no bollywood movie has done and that is show the dark side of india. It's a clear message to start cleaning up their act if they want to move forward as a society.Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

hence why mumbai is tearing down the slum that the movie was shot in and putting up new buildings. i'm taking the cynical view that its just to try and gloss over the problem, but i don't have enough insight to have much of a valid opinion on it.Comment

Re: Slumdog Millionaire (200
If the slums in question are the ones I am thinking of, Mumbai will never be able to get rid of Dharavi (the largest slums in Asia). They have the largest export of leather that is sold out of bombay, massive connections to the underground (thereby far reaching influence in the Political ranks) and the Maharashtra Govt. simply doesn't have the resources to house the population of people who will get displaced from that area if they try any of that.
Imo there is no where that slum is going in the foreseeable future.
As with so many unfortunate things that happen in third-world countries, that is an unfortunate part of bombay which is there to stay (GOD I hate calling it Mumbai, fucking politicians and their 2 bid worthless agendas)www.mjwebhosting.com

Re: Slumdog Millionaire (200
Read this about two weeks back, seems appropriate to post it in here seeing where this thread is headed.
Slumdog Millionaire shanty town a model for urban planning, says Prince Charles
The Bombay shanty town featured in the film Slumdog Millionaire should be a model for urban planning, Prince Charles has said, as it represents a better way to house a booming population.
'I strongly believe that the west has much to learn from societies and places which, while sometimes poorer in material terms are infinitely richer in the ways in which they live and organise themselves as communities,' the Prince said. Photo: REUTERS
In his latest attack on western urban architecture, the Prince referred favourably to Dharavi, a slum in which between 600,000 and one million people are packed into 520 acres of ramshackle accomodation.
Speaking to a conference at St James's Palace organised by his Foundation for the Built Environment, the Prince said Dharavi had "an underlying intuitive grammar of design that is totally absent from the faceless slab blocks that are still being built around the world to 'warehouse' the poor".
He pointed to the district's use of locally-sourced materials, its balance of business and homes and its walkable neighbourhoods as evidence for its superiority.
As was visible in Slumdog Millionaire, Dharavi has a very poor sewage system and water supply.
It is estimated that the town contains one lavatory for every 1,400 residents. A local river, Mahim Creek, is widely used by local residents instead, leading to the regular spread of infectious diseases. During monsoon season, streets regularly flood with human waste.
"I strongly believe that the west has much to learn from societies and places which, while sometimes poorer in material terms are infinitely richer in the ways in which they live and organise themselves as communities," the Prince said.
"It may be the case that in a few years' time such communities will be perceived as best equipped to face the challenges that confront us because they have a built-in resilience and genuinely durable ways of living."
