SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

Reply to this post to write your thoughts on Slumdog Millionaire (and to discuss the film with others).

If you're writing *before* we finish watching the film, you might consider writing about any of the following:
--how the film pictures/represents the slums, and how that representation compares to that of "Salaam Bombay"
--how the film draws you into the lives of its characters, and how it compares/contrasts with "Salaam Bombay" in that regard
--how/what a particular scene made you feel/think

If you're writing *after* we finish watching the film, you might write about any of the above and/or the following:
--your response to the ending of the film (and the film as a whole)
--your thoughts on how the film as a whole compares to "Salaam Bombay"
--your thoughts on how the ending of the film (and the film as a whole) is and/or isn't like a typical Hollywood film.

SALAAM BOMBAY

If you're writing *before* we finish watching the film, you might consider writing about any of the following:
--how the film pictures/represents the slums
--how the film draws you into the lives of these characters, and how you've responded so far
--how/what a particular scene made you feel/think

If you're writing *after* we finish watching the film, you might write about any of the above and/or the following:
--your response to the ending of the film (and the film as a whole)
--your thoughts on how the film as a whole compares to "Slumdog Millionaire," if you've seen it
--your thoughts on how the ending of the film (and the film as a whole) compares to a typical Hollywood film. (How might Hollywood producers have chosen to end the film/tell this story?)
