Slumdog Millionare Review

Slumdog Millionare by Danny Boyle was an interesting movie because of many things. First of all the music in the movie suited the film because most of it was bollywood themed music. Even though this film had such an amazing soundtrack, you don't really notice it during the movie. It is good background music and is well suited for the film. Also on the topic of music, it was a good effect to put the well known song "Jai Ho" at the end, because this song was made famous worldwide by the pussycat dolls even though they are not the original artists of this song. The colour in the movie was very well placed all through the movie, for example when there was a scene in the slums we would see many different colours of all the slums which shows us that the area is not well looked after and not well planned because all the housing is made out of anything that the residents could use. This is why the use of colour in this scene is not well organised and is all over the place or messy. Also when there is the scene in mumbai at night, there is a good use of colour because we can see all the headlights from the cars and also from all the business buildings in the city, which shows us that Mumbai is a very busy and fast moving city, full of civilians. In general the storyline in Slumdog Millionare was unique because the whole story is set around a tv show. Also it was interesting because of the way that we find out everything about the main characters life through the questions that he is asked. Also it is full with different emotions in every memory that Jamal (the tv show contestant) has. All this emotion that the film showed us made it such a real life film, because of this I believe that the movie attracted such a large audience worldwide. Also the movie made a large profit because they did not have a large budget and also most of the actors that the hired were from the indian slums and were not paid large amounts of money. Also the movie was filmed in India which made it less expensive to produce. This movie also attracted large audiences because it was a sort of underdog film compared to all the others in that year, even though it won the most awards in all the film award ceremonies. The media hype I also believe attracted many more people and helped make this film so successful.
