Asked to justify his correct answers, Jamal explains where his knowledge comes from and recounts his life on the street, his family stories and even that of this girl he fell in love with and lost. But how did this young man make it to the final of a television show? The answer is not part of the game, but it is exciting.
6ter will rebroadcast this evening a great public and critical success: Slumdog Millionaire (2009) Danny Boyle. While we have just discovered the trailer for the British filmmaker's next film, 28 years laterwe are sharing our criticism of this fresco carried by Dev Patel (Jamal) and Freida Pinto (Latika). Waiting its sequel ? Its producers would in fact dream of telling a new adventure of Jamal, around twenty years after the original film, which was freely inspired by the novel by Vikas Swarup published in 2005.
“His story is universal, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries, explained the bosses of Bridge7, Swait Shetty and Grant Kessman, last month, and it embodies the kind of stories we love – ones that connect entertainment with profound human experiences. What makes Slumdog Millionaire Extraordinary, it's not just his cinematic genius – which encompasses storytelling, music and his remarkable accolades, but also the way he brought together talent from around the world to form a winning team.“
Slumdog Millionaire: the film with 8 Oscars by Danny Boyle
The opinion of First : Well, if you're here, it's because you're looking for a good reason to go see Slumdog Millionaire. We will even give you the choice…
A) Because the film, although it may seem hyped at the beginning, finds a sort of universal effectiveness (see its success with audiences who discovered it at festivals) against which it is very hard to fight.
B) Because Danny Boyle once again spreads everyone when it comes to delivering a completely crazy visual and sound experience (the chase in the slum will detach your retina).
C) Because it looks like a Dickensian tale remixed in Bollywood.
D) Because it's all of that at the same time. Come on, a hint: we recommend answer D. This is our last word.
