    ¡ª¡ªFrom the movie "Slumdog Millionaire"

    There is a movie called "Slumdog Millionaire", people who want to watch movies will have some memories!  This film won many awards at the Oscar Film Festival.  Why can you get such recognition and honor?  I think, in addition to technical reasons, the real situation written in the story itself and the rich connotations it presents are probably one of the most important factors.

    A few days ago, I read "Book City", and there was an article in it about a book written by an Indian called "White Tiger". I was very impressed.  According to reports, this book is composed of letters written one by one to the leader of another country.  Why are Indians writing to the leader of another country and not to anyone else.  This alone is somewhat interesting and worth pondering.

    In May of one year, the leader of a country chose to inspect an institution of higher learning in the capital of his country. It is said that he very much hoped to hear the truth from the so-called "elites".  It is rumored that before the inspection, the leader hoped that the school would not deliberately arrange, and hoped to listen to the students talking freely.  The results of it?  Everything is both unexpected and completely expected: all arrangements are exactly the same as the previous model, and even more deliberate and stylized than the previous model.  I don't know how the leader felt after the inspection?  I think that in this society, because of the hard work of those so-called "talented" in this institution of higher learning this time, those who originally had objections to the so-called "elite" will probably have a lot more contempt for the "elite".  Bar!  Perhaps, this also has social and environmental factors; perhaps, this is not all the fault of this institution of higher learning, nor is it all the fault of the students, but those who are expected to be the "backbone" and "backbone" in society  The depravity of the so-called "intellectuals" cannot be entirely blamed on society and the environment.

    Flattery is not a last resort, at least, you can choose to remain silent!

    In the past few days of this year, the rankings of international institutions of higher learning have been released. The so-called "first-class universities" in this country have all fallen out of the top ten this time.  This may be a tacit understanding with the performance of the "elites" on this year's youth festival.

    Next, within a few days, the central media broadcast a program, which was also about another institution of higher learning.  The content is that the School of Foreign Languages ??and Languages ??of this institution of higher learning colluded with outside study abroad intermediary agencies, and made some "cooperative" projects with several universities in other countries.  Among them, several children participated in the training and examination organized by the foreign language college of this institution of higher learning, and went to other countries smoothly.  However, the unsatisfactory thing is that a university in another country where these children report has other requirements. They must take the same language test as their own students and must reach the same score line as their own students before they can enter.  This is difficult. These children have not been exposed to foreign languages ??for a long time, and they can handle the domestic exams. It is really not an easy task to pass the exams in the host country.  Thus, another unsolved case was made.  In the past, in my mind, this institution of higher learning was never a school eager for quick success.  However, after this incident, this institution of higher learning, like other so-called "first-class", in my mind the tall and stable image collapsed.

    In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Liu Xianglian once stood at the door of Jia's mansion and said: "In Jia's mansion, except for the two stone lions at the door, which are clean, even the cats and dogs are not clean!"

    Liu Xianglian was much luckier than many people in some eras, because there were still "clean stone lions" at that time.  In some eras, finding a "clean stone lion" in the so-called "institution of higher learning" that was once the most solemn and respected may be as difficult as finding a "dinosaur egg" capable of hatching dinosaurs.

    After the complete collapse of the moral bottom line, the society is facing a huge crisis, and there is nothing to supplement our poverty.  Therefore, "fame" and "getting rich" have become the most popular and most accepted moral standards and value judgments in society.  We cannot criticize ordinary people, they are not wrong.  Just imagine, even the so-called "institutions of higher learning" and "intellectual elites" are working hard to "become famous" and "get rich". What else can we ask of ordinary people?  Perhaps, among those institutions and personnel, some organizations and individuals did not blatantly attack the city, but it cannot be determined that those organizations and individuals did not help them in private or cover them secretly.

    Some people say that certain talent shows of individual media are a kind of liberation and the rise of the civilian class; some even say that such shows are the starting point of free and open development.  What I want to say is, first, the original intention of planning such programs is only to increase ratings, which is only driven by economic interests; second, the success of such programs is based on an accurate grasp of people¡¯s psychology in the context of the times.¡±  fame" isThe general psychology of this era, once "become famous", is followed by a lot of money, which is the so-called "sudden wealth". "Fame" is the most direct and convenient way to "suddenly rich";  "In addition to money, it may also be linked to special powers. Everyone knows what is going on here.  Thirdly, the roughness and fading of the program after the development also proves the strength of economic interests and people's aversion to the superficial.  Fourth, don't overestimate the so-called "spiritual entertainment" promoted for economic benefits. It is doomed to be short-lived since its inception.

    Going back to the beginning, "Slumdog Millionaire" is a social and psychological reflection of the rising period of India.  From the side of the movie, we can see that driven by powerful economic interests, people's ideals and beliefs have actually been completely subverted.  "Fame" and "get rich" have transcended all values ??and all true gods.

    Therefore, you will see in the movies that for money, children in the slums will be viciously blinded, begging for a living, and earning a lot of money for those who have no conscience and no humanity.  This aspect depicted in the movie is not a special case, but a common phenomenon.  It's just that the manifestation of each phenomenon in each society is different.

    Why, the show that won the million-dollar prize has such a high ratings.  In fact, it is also a profound insight into the psychology of the general public by the program planners.  In the context of the big society, after one night, the reality everyone faces has completely changed.  Yesterday, he was still a gangster in the slums who made a living by petty theft, collecting protection fees, and fighting for territory. Today, he may have become a wealthy entrepreneur and a model of charity that everyone admires.  This is the living reality.  All this left a deep impression on the public mind.  Therefore, the fantasy of "it could be me tomorrow" will take root in the hearts of ordinary people.

    In fact, ordinary people only see the appearance of society, and they cannot guess the unspoken rules behind it.

    Just like the "Millionaire" program in the movie, ordinary people can't see how much tricks and filth are behind it.  What they see is overnight fame, what they want to see is the sudden wealth of people who are almost the same status and status as themselves.

    People, it's that simple and pure.

    In the movie, the "success" of the real estate agent is to step on the corpses of poor people like him.  I think this may not be just a case of Indian society, perhaps, more cruel acts than India can be found in other countries outside of India.

    In fact, after watching the movie, my understanding of life is more pessimistic.

    Ordinary people, especially those at the bottom of society are the most deplorable and pitiful group.  An ant-like life might be trampled to death by intentional or unintentional big feet at any moment.

    The boy in "Slumdog Millionaire" was able to survive completely, not because of God's favor, but luck.  The true god is dead, and even if the true god lived, he would not protect the poor and helpless.

    In fact, the ideal has been completely shattered.

    There is no sign of the end of the darkness, everything is just beginning.  Fortunately, Indian society has been able to face this reality head on and allow its darkness and filth to be exposed.  For example, "Slumdog Millionaire", such as "White Tiger"

    Some people often laugh at India, perhaps because of their arrogance, or because they are not strong enough to tolerate the existence of dissident voices.

    "Slumdog Millionaire" and "White Tiger" are descriptions of one aspect of Indian social reality. From "overnight success" to "overnight riches" may be a real situation experienced by many countries in the social upswing period.

    Put away those self-righteous, self-deceiving vanity and cowardice!

    Don't say that compared with other countries, it is compared with India, which many people look down on. Everyone still has a long way to go.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
