Kubusuku obudlulileyo ndilungiselele, ngokulindela okukhulu, ukubona "Slumdog Millionaire«, Ifilimu endiyivileyo (kwaye ndayifunda) ithetha imimangaliso, ibeka ngokuthelekisa nefilimu ekhangayo efana ne«Isixeko sikaThixo«. Ifunyenwe amabhaso kunye nokuwongwa kwihlabathi liphela, andazi nokuba ikhutshwe phi kwaye ayikhuphi, okwangoku, kodwa ndingatsho ukuba ndiyibonile. Kwaye ndicinge ntoni? Qhubeka ufunda.
Ifilimu iqala ngemifanekiso enamandla yokuhlushwa kwi-protagonist, uJamal. Inkwenkwe yabethwa yaza yabethwa ngumbane ngamapolisa amabini ekhwaza esithi “¿¿Uqhathe njani?». I-protagonist ifikelele kumzekelo kumboniso wethelevishini owaziwayo kulo lonke elaseIndiya, "Ngubani ofuna ukuba nguMillionaire?" Ingongoma yeyokuba wonke umntu akabuthembi ubunyani bomdlalo wakhe, kwaye umtyhola ngobuqhophololo ngokuphuma kwezona dolophana zimnyama kweli lizwe. Ogqirha, okanye izithandi zobulumko, okanye iingcaphephe ezinkulu ziye zakwazi ukufikelela apho uJamal wenzayo. Yiyo loo nto kukho ubuqhophololo.
Emva kokuba inkwenkwe ibuyele ekuthuthukisweni, iqala ukuchaza, umbuzo ngombuzo, indlela efunde ngayo iimpendulo, kwaye njengoko ibali lakhe likhula, umfanekiso usithatha kwiimpawu ezicacileyo kwixesha elidlulileyo le-protagonist, ngaloo ndlela ukwazi ukuqonda izizathu imeko yayo yangoku.
U-Jamal uye wadlula ebuntwaneni obunzima kakhulu, kwaye kunzima ngakumbi ukufikisa, kunye nomzalwana owayehlala embeka phantsi kwaye emphatha kakubi, kunye nentombazana, uLatika, awathandana nayo ngokukrakra. Aba bantwana bathathu bazingomb’ isifuba besithi bangabona bahlwempuzeke kakhulu eIndiya, ukanti babesenako ukunandipha ubuntwana babo. Ngexesha elithile, batshintshelwa yindoda ethembisa ikamva eliqaqambileyo, kuhlobo oluthile lwekholoni okanye iziko, kunye nabanye abantwana abaninzi abahluphekileyo. Le ndoda ibanyanzela ukuba bangqibe baze bahenyuze ukuze bafumane imali. Abantwana abakho nto ngaphandle kwamakhoboka abo, kwaye uJamal nomntakwabo babaleka, kufuneka bashiye uLatika ngasemva.
U-Jamal akayeki ukumkhangela, kwaye emva kobunzima obugqithisileyo umfumana kunye nomnye weGangster eyingozi kakhulu eIndiya, apho umnakwabo asebenza khona. Ungena kwiprogram ethi "Ngubani ofuna ukuba yi-millionaire?" ukuze uLatika abone, kwaye avume ukubaleka naye. Wonke umzamo wakhe, yonke intuthumbo, yonke imithambo-luvo, igwetyelwe luthando. «Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa«.
Ndimele nditsho ukuba zonke izinto endizilindeleyo malunga nefilimu zaneliswe ngama-200%. Ubuhle obubonakalayo, zombini ukusuka kwiifreyimu kunye nokufota, kuyamangalisa. Kukho ubukhulu beliso elichazayo nelibalisayo, kwaye oko kukwanento yokwenza nobunyani obubonakaliswayo. Dlala kunye ne-counterpoint phakathi kobuntwaneni kunye nomtsalane wobumsulwa obunjalo, kunye neemeko ezimbi kakhulu zentlupheko ekufuneka abafana abathathu bajongane nazo. Ngaphandle kokuwela kwithoni ekrwada okanye engenangqondo, ichaza uthando, urhwebo, inkqubo yethelevishini, imarike, i-mafia, uluntu olungaphezu kweyodwa ingcamango, kuba yile nto kanye siboniswa ngayo. UDanny Boyle uye wakwazi ukubonisa ngokucoceka kunye nokubhabha, kwaye kude nazo zonke izinto ezingaqhelekanga ze-mercantile pretezens, ihlabathi elingamawaka ehlabathi ukusuka kowethu, kodwa oko kuyafana. Ngamanye amaxesha siwela ekulibaleni, ngamanye amaxesha sivumela ukuba siwele ekulibaleni. Kodwa ukuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, kungenxa yokuba ikamva lalifuna ukuba kube njalo.
Ifilimu eya kuphawula imbali, ndiqinisekile.
