Slumdog Millionaire by Daniel Escobar

• Greed, corruption and the misuse of power are highlighted in the film through a variety of characters. How are those who have money and power glamorized in this film? What happens to the victims?
In the movie there are 3 primary persons who have money and power. The first one is the one who takes Jamal and his brother out of the trash, he look kind, he look like a saint because he was helping them, but at the end he turns out to be a bad person. His victims were kids and often they make something to they so that people will give them money (burn their eyes).
The second was Jamal`s brother, when he grow up, he become wealthy and powerful because he work for the mobsters. He look apparently and important person, good cloth, women like him, his victims were the enemies of his boss and his closers friends. He makes suffer his own brother and also Latika. He wasn`t a satisfied men, because even though he had money and power, at the end he suicide.
The third rich and powerful man that I identify was the boss mobster. He had a lot of buildings, a nice house, cars, and men at his disposition, apparently he had it all. He looks important in the movie and everybody respected him. His victims were killed, and he ended up dead killed by his own killer.

• In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer?
What did Jamal do?
I think that he did that, because he wanted to continue being the only one who could make it. He was jealous or something like that, because he didn`t want Jamal to win the game. Jamal chose letter D, instead of the letter B that the show`s host tell him was the correct answer. I think Jamal had so much experience treating with bad persons that he can recognized them very well.

• Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?
Well in the whole movie you see jamal`s suffering, he was a child who loss it all, many people would said that he had bad look. He lost his mother, he looses his friend (latika), he looses his brother, and he was alone. I once heard a man that said that all the bad experiences ad bad things that happen in your life, are preparing you for the final battle, of the important fight, and Jamal in this movie had a lot of battle and the final one was the show. All the losses that he had through all his life, and all the bad experiences he had, teach him something, and was that things that he learn through his defeats that give him the victory in the show where he won the money and return with his love one.
