SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE: DELUDED AND IRRESPONSIBLE
Posted by: Jordan
In Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire, Jamal (Dev Patel) is a young man from the slums of Mumbai who is chosen at random to enter a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire-style contest on television. His tempestuous life experiences in the slum help him so completely with correctly solving the answers that his legitimacy is called into question. Jamal is promptly arrested by authorities hoping to expose him as a cheat; he is forced to explain in detail how he was able to answer each question. We follow Jamal on his journey through his past as he struggles to win the prize and safeguard his future.
Slumdog is one of those endless feel-good type films that purports to raise “awareness” and “encourage” the underdog. It tells the familiar story of the little engine that could, while simultaneously casting a blind eye to the material factors involved in actual revolution. One wonders if Boyle, a filmmaker with an at best uneven career, bothered to familiarize himself with basic revolutionary principles at all. All evidence points to the contrary. The message of Slumdog is clear: all it takes is luck, destiny, and courage to beat the system.
A film that thoroughly entertains while delivering an honest portrayal of class struggle – one that correctly communicates organization and the mass politicization of the working class as the true path towards revolution – would have been something. Instead, Slumdog is an irresponsible, deluded pipe dream where a peasant can rise above the dungheap of religious and class warfare through sheer individual strength and determination alone. As the current economic crisis deepens and sectors of the liberal/petty bourgeois media begin to rouse from years of self-imposed slumber, the ridiculous insanity of the film will be exposed.
Slumdog Millionaire, like its obsolete “message”, is dead on arrival.
