I didn't see "Slumdog Millionaire". The story didn't interest me.. For those not in the know, it's about a young man winning India's version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire". I guess the twist is he grew up in the slums of Mumbai, but is very smart.(anyway)

note: for those not acquainted, Mumbai used to be called Bombay by round eye, light skinned Englishmen

Evidently the persons wanting to be millionaires are the producers, adult actors, distributors of "Slumdog", and they're apt to stay that way given their generosity toward the child actors from the movie.
.
Since this gem hit the theaters, there have been repeated stories about the slums, the slum dwellers, the slum dwellers being pissed off about being called slum dwellers, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. But a thread of truth seems to have escaped through the stories. It would appear that the movie types (read as Hollywood / London Liberals) have NOT spread the wealth.
.
This movie made about $326 million, on an investment of just $5 million to make the flick. That's a pretty good return on their money.
.
But that is being kept in hand at the Hollywood / London level I guess. There's a story out today about the primary child actor's home being bulldozed, off of the sewer right of way, in preparation for this years monsoon season.
.
My question is this, if the movie made that kind of money, this kid didn't make even enough to move his family out of the slums? Or if ignorance of how to handle money is the issue, no one could set them up an annuity to get the family moved?
.
Seems to me it would be easy to save a few lives, if you made a couple HUNDRED million dollars profit off their backs. At a minimum they could do like they think we should do, share the wealth, the lying, one-way assholes.

What ever happened to HLF? I made an honest offer of dialogue and HLF split, this story is one I'd like to debate with a liberal.

hey, he's a movie star, why aren't the Hollywood liberal democrat scum helping out??
Because Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards in 2009 and won eight, the most for any film of 2008, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
They are jealous.
...glad to see, I wasn't the only one wondering that.
I'm surprised someone hasn't offered to adopt him. I guess he's not cute enough for Madonna or one of the other rich scum to adopt. Considering a family living wage is about $5k in Mumbai, you'd think someone in Hollyweird could handle it.
Worthless humps that they are. $5k, what's that, lunch out with the gang for most of them?
None of them will adopt this kids cause he's not black enough. But i think you guys are being a bit too harsh. I read that Barbara Striesand did send the kid and autographed picture of herself, and Oprah sent him a box of cookies. Oprah did say she would provide him with a free education in her African school, but he'd have to get a sex change first, since she only helps girls. (is she raising future sex toys for herself?)
Steve: Shhhhhhhh!
