Slumdog Millionare

7. In one exchange of dialogue in the film during the interrogation of Jamal, the police inspectors discuss the impossibility of what Jamal knows.
Police Inspector: Doctors... Lawyers... never get past 60 thousand rupees. He's on 6 million. [pause]
Police Inspector: What can our slumdog possibly know?
Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers.
Discuss the irony in the film that Jamal “knows too much” and is suspected of cheating. Discuss the irony that in the end, his poverty may make him rich. What point is the film making? What is real wealth?



I think that Jamal knows too much because he is poor, and because he is poor he knows a lot of things that other people can't know, because of his way of life. Cause he has to fight for what he wants and that makes him know more and more things. The point of this film for me is that we know more things through experiences or personal things that we learn seeing, not reading or studying.


10. 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?

He gave Jamal the wrong answer because he was the person more rich and famous and he don't want another person to become like him and take his place. Jamal is very inteligent and he thinks about that and that is why makes the other choice.

  1. i agree with flora because, for example the first question that she answered, she is right because when you are fighting snd living the things your learn much more, and in the other one is true that jamal said the other answered because he thought about everything that he had live since he was a kid.

  2. I agree with Edna and Flora because there is no better learning than the empirical, and people who have had a harder life are the ones that know more
