Is Slumdog Millionaire A Case Of Poverty Porn? Options

[parag_sankla]

I have not seen the film yet, but have read many reviews. My conclusion based on them is that the western world (British director - the same people who ruled us for over 150 years) has made an excellent piece of poverty porn out of India. The projection of Mumbai and India as a whole is slum (as if there are no homeless people in the developed countries). Using the word dog (even if some one defends that its a newly coined word = slum + underdog = slumdog) is derogatory.

Views most welcome.

Jai Hind!

Maine madhur ko nahin kaha. westerns ko kaha tha

Why not him....? usko bhi bolo…. He too made movie on kids forced to beg, goons and poverty

Gandhii to yaad hai. Exceptions hai maine kab kaha nahin hai. overall picture dekho aap.

Aur kaunsi .. rather kitni movies bani hai Indian slums pe? lets do a count

magar overall image alag hai

ok, what would you do? Hide it or try to change it, but you have to agree its a reality. If change it, then onus is on you not others.

Ye to US ki baat hui na ki US wale indian kya hain.

Are they not Indians? Do they not represent India? come on man..... Why do you want to look at only negativity, when some positive thing comes your why why ignore it?

PS : are discussion lamba nikala ja raha. apoon to ghooomta phirta agya madam ke bulawe per. my last post on it ! cheers !

Same here… times pass se full time ho gaya.. I agree

Marcilo bhai uper wala reply pado jo maine uper diya hai. usmein bhi maine wahi baatein likhi hai +ves aur -ve etc. koi mana nahin kar sakta ki slums hai.infact maine to yeh bhi likha ki jaise hum US ko lekar ignorant hai ( they ve poors) waise wo bhi ignorant hai hamare baare mein. to isme koi haraane wali baat nahin hai agar wo yaahaan akar poverty per movie baanate hian. ( read post )

Magar, agar film totally slums per hai to ye definately india ki image ko effect karega. jaisa filmein aisa karti hain. yehi baat maine uper likhi hai !. haan main kabhi -ve aspect ko ignore nahin kar sakta.

Ya to koi +ve points ko galat kahe. waisa maine kahin nahin likha !
