My choosen opening film

The opening film that I choosed is  <Slumdog Millionaire>. I have chosen this opening film as it provides a different but true India culture. It tells a story through the main character -- Jamal, his life and the TV show” Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”.

The film tells the story of Jamal Malik, a young orphan from the slums of Mumbai. He wants win the money to save his lover -- Latika.
The frame of the opening film is “why is he being interrogated?” He is a millionaire but the police treated him like a slum dog. The police thought he cheated and the audiences thought he was lucky. And the right answer “It’s been written” forced me to watch more.
The fact in this opening film was shot in two different ways. One is mainly black and dark yellow, and the other one is very colourful and bright. The first way makes me worried, and also I feel sorry for Jamal. The second way make me feel nervous, and this shot puts me on Jamal’s side immediately.

The opening senses are fantastic; the two main shots are Jamal in the prison with polices and Jamal in the game show with host.  The opening film also shows about Jamal’s brother Salim and his lover Latika, because they are the main characters troughed the whole film.
