“SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE”

Slum dog millionaire is a very inspirational as well as an educational movie. It is about a small and poor indian boy named Salim who made up his future with all his faith,honesty and experience. He was a 5 year old boy who lived in a slum area with his elder brother Jamal and his mother. He was forced to move out of the slum area when there was a slum clearing. They were forced to move out brutally and unfortunately Salim lost his mother when she was protecting him from those brutal actions. He and his brother successfully escaped from and met another girl of their age which was also alone like them. Salim was a kind hearted boy and therefore he took her with them. Unfortunately they were all taken to a child laboring centre where all of them were forced to be beggars and slaves.
Salim and Jamal succeed to escape from that place but they couldn’t take Latika with them and Salim was feeling very guilty to leave Latika in such a bad place. Moreover, Salim has fallen I love with Latika since the first time they met and he promised himself that one day he will come back and take Latika away from those bad people . From this movie we can clearly see the kindness of Jamal compared to his brother. The cruelty of life doesn’t influence Jamal to be as bad as the people around him. He still follows the right path and continues his life. When he joined a show called” Who wants to be a Millionaire” he did not have much knowledge about the world. He only uses honesty and his experiences during his life. This proves that we do not have to be smart or rich to be successful in life. The key to be happy and successful is to be honest and have a clean heart. This movie shows a comparison of Salim and his brother Jamal in which they were in the same situation but Jamal followed the wrong path of life and he was easily influenced by his bad environment. When Jamal was big enough he tried to find Latika and take her back with him but Latika refused because he doesn’t want him to be in danger, but Salim was patience enough to work hard and make the situation better for him and Latika.
When Salim plays “who wants to be a millionaire” he was just using his instinct and feelings. He was given the wrong answer by the host but fortunately he did not trust the host’s answers. He beliefs in himself and that’s what made him always win. He has a faith that everything which will happen is according to his destiny. He is not materialistic and not easily to give up on a hard life. He cares about his family and always try to achieve his dreams. He is a very simple ,naïve and true boy who will do anything for the one he loves.
To sum up, we do not have to be rich, smart or popular to be successful. We have to be honest, true and never give up on life. The most important thing is that we have to believe in ourselves, because miracles can always happen when we believe..
