I do not know about you, but I want to have ongoing income or substantial income after doing a major movie. Maybe I cannot buy a house, but I should be able to do well for myself and get other gigs after doing a movie motion picture that wins awards from here to Katmandu.
Well, Katmandu wouldn't be far for the child star from Slum Dog Millionaire, but you get my point. The child star, who still lives in the slums of Mumbai, India, lives in a crowded shanty town.
Would you expect to live there any longer. We Americans feel such an entitlement to live out the so-called "American Dream" in style would be outraged over the mere thought of not cashing out after the major success of a movie. It's inconceivable!
But, for the Slum Dog child star, he continues living in the slums while the young adult stars who get the glory and fame, live out their dreams in London or whatever in England, and continue their lives as they were before in over-privileged style.
The Slum Dog child star is a part of that under-privileged who keep going as they did before and after the fame and glory of the film.
It is sad and I am mad.
Didn't like the damn movie anyway. Come on! Broke ass kids poorer than most anyone the average American know with English accents in India and never lived anywhere else. That's like living in Georgia with a Minnesota accent lbut never been to Minnesota - it cain't happen.
Where did they learn English and with an English accent?
Now, that is some bullshit!
