Slumdog Fairytale

Slumdog Millionaire is my favorite film, so I especially enjoyed watching this movie as a class assignment. I loved the idea that life became the teacher for two young boys whose life's went in total opposite directions. It is ironic that all the strife Jamal had faced was the reason that he ended up winning India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. While Jamal tried to do the best he could growing up, while helping others, and trying to do the right thing, Salim on the other hand does as he pleases. Salim was a leader and made a way whether it was a moral action or not. Salim stole, tricked and clawed his way to a temporary success that he cold not keep hold of. Over all the movie is amazing and now looking at it as a global text give a new perspective.
