“Slumdog Millionaire” – the movie (2008); Cultural Globalization* not a Cosmopolitan** Culture (Part C)

Before we move on to the Cosmopolitan Culture which film director Mira Nair promoted through her first feature film “Salaam Bombay” in 1988,and later on with her other feature films,documentaries and cultural activities within the U.S.A and in other countries,I would like to introduce one last information in order to demonstrate how “corrupt”, “immoral” and “machiavellian” Cultural Globalization can be,when it has to protect its interests(financial and ideological), from persons who may threaten their global strategies.

A few friends and even some youg students of mine ,suggested that I should go and see “Slumdog Millionaire”,the movie, because they not only thought it was a very entertaining movie but that it also had great originality in its story and production.They especially emphasized the fact that many of the young Indian children who acted as real stars in the movie ,were not professional actors but ordinary youngsters who had been living all their lives in the slum areas of Mumbai or Bombay.
