Asking the million dollar question |
|
‘Slumdog Millionaire’
|
|
By Angelo Cantera, Reporter
What is the true measurement of wealth? Is it
(a) a cash prize of 20 million rupees, (b) a life of power and
security in the core of a changing world, (c) a vast amount of
knowledge or (d) a destiny that leads you to your one true love?
This was the question beautifully phrased by Danny Boyle’s
unforgettable opus, Slumdog Millionaire.
Set in India, the film revolves around the life
of a young man named Jamal Malik (Dev Patel). A former street child,
Malik joined the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Kaun
Banega Crorepati). But before he could answer the last question that
would ultimately make him 20 million rupees richer, the show ends
leaving it scheduled for the next day.
