I am 22 and I have polio that has left my left leg paralyze. I was born in rural China where there was no vaccine. I am happy that people are doing their best to prevent others from suffering this disease.
dude haha this is a great doc and a very serious and sad issue, but when i heard him say his name i had to replay it to see if i heard right. haha i couldnt help but laugh
Whats to face? We know that there is sex slavery in India, isnt that in the US aswell???
There is childlabour also, and unfortunately a lot of childlabour.
There are gaps between the rich and the poor in India, but they are in every country, but we have bigger gaps, i lived in India almost all my life, and a few things in slumdog are totally wrong.
Westerners feel that India is full of rapists, druglords, gangsters, fanatic hindus, women traffickers, po*n kings and child abusers. Is it true ??
PassionateIndia: Children forced into sexslavery and childlabor, isn´t that as bad as Slumdog shows?
Face it, that there are huge gaps between people in India. Some are very rich and many are very poor.
It´s not about shaming anyone, it´s about helping those people who need a better start in life and yes, that help is needed to different extent in every country.
I don't think westerners look down upon India. But, they are surprised and repelled to see the slums & poverty that exist in open in present day India. Poverty in India is as real as India's new growth story.
If Indian filmmakers can make movies that deal with difficult issues in other countries for a global audience, I'm sure they'll be well received. So far, I believe, many Indian movies are made for a local audience and an Indian diaspora.
I'd watch any movie that is entertaining, has a good script and deals with issues in the society; be it Mumbai or New York. If you say you can potentially make a similar movie on NY please do so.
It's not about being ashamed. It's about the fact that almost every foreign made movie/ documentary highlights India's poverty and these movies/ documentaries win awards: eg. 'Slumdog Millionare' whereas there are many similar Indian movies such as 'Taare Zameen Par' , 'Rang De Basanti' etc. which aren't recognized by the western world. This strongly suggests that westerners look down upon India and on top of that use India as a theme for poverty in their movies, make money and receive awards.
