THE SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

6. What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media? We see the game show“Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not? What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?
The film is trying to say that globalization is everytime more and more being adapted by everyone, I mean, in times before there could absolutely not be happening that type of programs and least with children, And that's a sign of a good and everytime better progress. The film is also saying that money have effect on culture because we 90% of popultation are ambitous but in different levels that's for sure. Or we have more respect for the one with money than for the one who doesn't have.

9. Greed, corruption and the misuse of power are highlighted in the film through a variety of characters. How are those who have money and power glamorized in this film? What happens to the victims?
They are glamorized in a way that they are being seen as the bad ones, they don't accept the fact that a child is winning a contest that isn't unfair and of course the victims are the ones who suffer the most. Also when the mob guy mistreat Latika and the brother that is a total misuse of power and corruption.
