A Mumbai based but British made movie, Slumdog Millionaire took the most Oscars in Hollywood
last week. Starring a cast (演员阵容) of unknown actors, the movie won eight awards including best
picture and best director. The movie follows the life of an 18-year-old boy who's grown up in the slums
(贫民窟) of Mumbai, India.
The boy ends up winning money and love when he makes it onto a popular TV game show.
In spite of the film's Success at the Academy Awards, Indians have mixed feelings about Slumdog.
The argument about how the movie portrays (描述) India began when it hit cinemas.
The film is set in the poor and cruel society of one of Mumbai's slums. In one scene, the hero jumps
into a smelly open-air toilet to run after a pop star. That world, though real to hundreds of millions of
Indians, is very different to how modem India sees itself. Many Indian audiences feel uncomfortable with
the film's portraying of India as a slum land.
Several well-respected local Indian filmmakers have said the story has been tailored for western
audiences. Veteran Bollywood star, Amitabh Bachchan, said the film portrayed India as a" Third World,
dirty developing nation."
Even some of those who like the movie are unhappy with its title. People who live in slums have taken
to the streets with signs that read: "Don't call us dogs" and "I am not a slum dog."
"It's understandable why people are unhappy with the title." Indian author Chitra Divakaruni told the
New York Times. "In Indian culture being called a dog is extremely rude.It is often used in films to
describe evil people."
However, others have been more positive. The Wall Street Journal in New York described Slumdog
as "the world's first globalized masterpiece (杰作)
