This is one of my favorite movies and surprisingly, many of my friends have not watched it! I loved the plot of the movie, the child who grew up with nothing had the street smarts and won the girl in the end! It is such a good rags-to-riches story!
The screen format was wide screen, this was perfect for the film's visual effectiveness. The bold color schemes enhanced the feeling of being in the country of India. The hyperactive/extreme camera views makes the audience feel as though they are in the movie and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of India.
According to The Art of Watching Films, the setting is the time and place in which the film's story occurs. Although the setting may often seem unobtrusive or be taken for granted, it is an essential ingredient in any story and makes an important contribution to the theme or total effect of a film. The four factors that effect the story as a whole include: Temporal factors, geographic factors, social structures and economic factors and customs, moral attitudes and codes of behavior.
The story of Jamal and the street life of a slum dog in India is emotionally dynamic. He and his brother learn the ways of the streets to make money and survive. Jamal during the interrogation has flashbacks of why he knows the answers on the game show. The stories were shocking and made me side with Jamal, he deserved good/wealth in his life!
The ending of the movie was amazing! The game show host gives him the answer for the final question and Jamal didn't fall for it, he used his street smarts once again! Throughout the movie the music was of the Indian culture which enhanced the setting. Then the final scene; Jamal gets the girl and they all dance to Bollywood music! This movie contained the drama, suspense and perfect love story!
