Film of the Year

Here's a clip from Slumdog Millionaire .... my film of they year... and the oscars too...



Talk About It
Discussion starters
In Jamal's world, poverty is pervasive, tragedy is predictable, and children and women are little more than things to smack around. In what ways does the film show us how to survive and even thrive in such an oppressive environment?

Jamal's life is full of teachable moments. How does his using those moments to inform his daily actions teach us how we should behave?

From where does Jamal mine the love that powers his life? If not God, where?

No matter what Latika does to survive, no matter the situations she finds herself in against her will, Jamal never stops seeing her as anything other than pure and beautiful. Who does this sort of unconditional adoration remind you of?
