Danny Boyle (2008)
with Dev Patel and Freida Pinto
Jamal Malik is an eighteen year old orphan raised in the slums of Mumbai. We find, however, to read the final question of twenty million rupees in the popular TV show, despite not having received any education, and he was arrested and interrogated for alleged fraud. So we come to know of his amazing life.
To talk about this movie is good from the end, more precisely during the credits, the conclusion of the events in fact witnessing a dance group in Bollywood style, or, if you will, in musical style. Given that you have seen the movie, if you come to the end credits always surprised means that you understand very little, as is certainly the best scene is the film itself. At this point all depends on what you expect from a film product, whatever it is. With The Millionaire in fact we are facing a mere divertissement, with a facade that masked ignobly illusion that there is some social commentary or a realistic background. The main character throughout the film it tells his life miserable in one of the poorest parts of the world, including religious fanaticism, crime, speculation, but also love and brotherhood. Here is mandatory to mention the floor on which it is represented the story: If any film, without distinction, is meant to represent reality through fiction, then the staging that we are not aware of the true reality. Here Boyle goes further: not a reality through fiction, but it depicts a reality filtered twice from fiction. Basically This is why Boyle appreciate very critical, even as 'innovative'. The problem is that doing so creates a work of good entertainment forcing situations and feelings, and this is very serious when it comes to reality, difficult as that of India. In practice, The Millionaire is a musical without music, a movie that most false false can not be built on illusion and fictitious, it is a great big bubble, only a few have been noticed, partly because of the aspects more formal, such as the director too fast does not leave us time to think and realize that what we are watching is nothing more than smoke. All this aggravation, and here I think we all agree, by a construction too cumbersome and artificial, sometimes repetitive (application-event-life application ...). That's not how you do cinema.
Rating: 4.5 / 10
