i didn’t watch it until a couple weeks ago bc it came on tv when i was a kid and scared me bc i only saw the scene of him getting tortured so i never watched the full thing😭
Slumdog Millionaire is a movie adaptation of a book, and it’s pretty true to the book which I recommend. Also, unsurprisingly the British fabricated and encouraged the rivalry between the Muslims and Hindus in India, as it ensured India would not be unified and would be weak when it became independent-which made the British happy as they would soon lose the “crown jewel” of their empire/commonwealth and they knew it. In 1947, their plans were realized when India became independent and the Great Split occurred: a violent event where the Muslims went to Pakistan (a Muslim state) and the Hindus went to India (a Hindu state). Millions of people died and currently, the Muslims/Pakistanis and Hindus/Indians hate each other. They are still fighting over a small strip of land called Kashmir, ALL because the British couldn’t keep their greedy sticky little fingers from getting involved. That’s why you see a lot of Muslim-Hindu conflict in the movie. It’s the aftermath of a rivalry instilled by the British to prevent a united Indian state from forming, following centuries of British colonial rule and oppression of the Indian people! Hope that helps :) Oh also! 16:00 You guys pretty much got the idea but basically what these men will do is get children who are poor or orphans that need money. They’ll mutilate them, effectively disabling them (cut out an eye, cut off a finger, etc). Then they’ll send the children to the streets. People will take pity on a disabled child more or a disabled child holding a crying baby, and give them money. Also, a disabled child singing with a beautiful voice will induce sympathy, bringing in money (this is why you see the children singing before being recruited and mutilated). The money given to the children by the strangers will then be collected by the men who keep it for themselves. Every day the children live in this way until they are killed, can escape, or go into another profession (unlikely though as they are disabled!). That’s why you see Salim help Jamal escape, he knows what will happen to him if they stay. 20:58 Yes, Verstappen wins every time! He's a good driver and Rebull's car is crazy fast! Ferrari's car can maintain speed during turns, but Redbull's can't, so in very twisty racetracks Ferrari is more likely to win.
Oh, this was a pleasant surprise! I would also recommend checking out 'Bend It Like Beckham' (2002), which is a sports comedy, so on the more lighthearted side. ⚽️
Most people pass over the "panic purr" and "constable bicycle " question bc they don't understand it sets up the whole movie: knowledge and experience are two completely different animals...I love this movie so much
I love the last question bc Jamal answered A the closest answer and he just wanted out of there to go see latika. It just happened to he the right answer 😢
Surprised it hadn't made it to the comments yet since I remember it being in the news at the time the movie came out, but the 3 child actors who played the initial/youngest ages were locals (as were much of the rest of the cast) and actually from the slums. After the movie, Indian authorities reportedly moved them and their families out of the slums and there was some concern raised in the global media about whether they were paid fairly. The director Danny Boyle and producer Christian Colson published a statement saying that on top of what the kids were paid for the days they worked, there was also money (amount remained private for their safety/prevent them becoming targets) put in a trust for the 3 lead child actors that would pay out when they turned either 16 or 18 (reports differ), the only requirement being that they stayed in school and graduated/got an education up until that point; reportedly there was also a rickshaw driver paid to make sure they had a way of getting to and from school if that ever became an issue. Also, the adult leads Dev Patel and Freida Pito started dating after meeting on this film and went on to have a 6-year-long relationship. Freida Pinto was also in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Immortals (2011, starring Henry Cavill).
Somehow I'd forgotten about that one scene and was eating dinner while watching the beginning of this. Thanks for the commentary. Really enhanced the revolting experience :).
Silent watcher here, I highly recommend watching Skins UK even if you can't upload it to UA-cam. It's such a great show that I promise you won't regret it!
I remember watching this back when it showed and it left such and impression. just thinking about it brings an indescribable feeling. and this is the first time rewatching it and there's really so much FEELS for me. It was so original and impactful and I cannot forget all these emotions.
you should watch more indian movies, although this one is based in india, it's an americanised version. You can start from 3 idiots, english vinglish, pink, etc
Yo you guys, I know you get so many requests, but Dev Patel is really such a brilliant actor and he recently made his directorial debut with Monkey Man which is a great movie with a lot of interesting political undertones. There was a ton of stuff happening behind the scenes with it because of its political and Netflix, who originally were gonna stream it because they assumed it would just be "indian John Wick" didn't want to back it once they realized it was a bit deeper and spicier, but Jordan Peele saw it and convinced him to do a theatrical release instead. Another great great movie of Dev's is Green Knight which I think would work well on this channel. I honestly think he's been sorta sidelined in hollywood but hes about to have a meteoric rise.
20:32 yeah Verstappen kinda wins every race, actually last year he set a new record for most wins in row (10) and most wins in a season (19) he's insane i love him 😂 nice reaction guys!!
in Islam, we believe our fates have already been written by God, so usually in life when something occurs we say it is written. The gameshow host sort of made a play on that.
One of the few movies that both my husband and I loved, as we have very different tastes on movies. I visited Mumbai for work and my coworkers showed me some of the scenes where the movies was filmed. It really is sad the poverty level in some spots.
Please watch The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Dev Patel was great in it as were all of the British iconic actors and actresses. And not with Dev, but Million Dollar Arm is a fun movie.
The Real Best Exotic Hotel documentary series was created with older English celebrities go to India to see what life would be like in India which was great too.
38:11 I used to watch the show as a kid when it was on constantly, and yes, when people say like "I know it isn't A" and then use 50/50, that answer A would always (90% of the time I'd say) be one of the ones to disappear you're right.
lol you guys gotta find some forgiveness and sympathy, Salim totally redeemed himself when he sacrificed his life for Latika's freedom. He was an A-hole for what he did to his brother and latika when they were kids but he also was a kid as well with a ton of trauma that affected him differently from his little brother. A kid who saved his little brother from going blind, a killed who protected his brother after seeing his their mother killed. All three of them had very difficult lives as children and young adults.
I mean did he need to rape latika and abandon his brother? He never even tried to help anyone else until Jamal found him again all those years latika was a sex slave because of him. Salim sucks
Heavy movie. It’s time I watched it again. I love Indian / Pakistani movies. White teeth (tv series) with om puri Brick lane Monsoon wedding My favorites are about the British Raj from the 90s: The Far Pavilions The Jewel in the Crown (series)
Happy to see your reaction about this movie! Long time I didn't watch it and I was able to watch it today thanks to you! One of great movies I ever watched
As some other mention before in the comments, I hope you’ll watch ”Life of Pi” at some point. Also ”The best Exotic Marigold Hotel”, Dev Patel is so charming in that one!
Funny enough, i've Also just recently seen this movie (I'd wanted to watch it for the longest time) I wish Salim could have had a bigger redeption, but I know he could never have been trusted, he couldnt have had a relationship with Jamal
God, I hope you get to do Lion too! Dev Patel really has carved out such a cool career for himself. I saw Slumdog Millionaire FOUR TIMES at the cinema when it came out. 😂
16:01 I think they were abducting children from here and there to have them beg on streets. They would make them handicapped so that people give more money.
Yes my BABY DEV PATEL , watching an iconic movie that had white people thinking India was like this everywhere lmao but Dev Patel excellence and oscar nom was well worth it

"Latika has a horrible life": this pretty much summarize the movie
Winner of 8 Oscars including Best Picture!
Slumdog millionaire is one of those movies that nobody ever reacts to, probably because most people have seen it.
i didn’t watch it until a couple weeks ago bc it came on tv when i was a kid and scared me bc i only saw the scene of him getting tortured so i never watched the full thing😭
Ehh idk though everyone I’ve ever met has never seen it, it’s a pretty niche movie
Y’all should also react to Lion with Dev Patel! Amazing movie based on a true story.
I second this! One of the best movies that I think about often!
No one ever reacts to Lion and it’s one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen 😭
That will break me again. 😢
Yess
Just watched again the other night. Still so good and I think I cry every time I see it.
Wow I would have never expected anyone to react to this movie in 2024 :O Looking forward to revisiting this movie again with yall
same, the first time I watched it was in high school! its such a good movie
If you all haven’t done it yet, Life of Pi is a amazing movie I think you all would enjoy
I second this Life of Pi is a fantastic and emotional movie
@@alessaxreacts99353rd!
Yesss
I cry _every_ time I see that movie! I hope they watch it at some point

He won 20 million rupees which at the time, 2006, was $436,000 USD
Which is exponentially more valuable in India than the US.

Bend It Like Beckham for sure
Definitely! Love this movie

So nostalgic for this film! I remember dancing to Jai Ho when they played it at my school dance

India is so diverse like the amount of pics u see as western representation is so narrow minded. The natural beauty is also super underrated
you should watch more indian movies, although this one is based in india, it's an americanised version. You can start from 3 idiots, english vinglish, pink, etc
Danny Boyle is British not American
Agree. This isn't Bollywood. Bollywood is better
@@Yui-sc3sq i know where the director of this film is from, i'm just saying how this film was portrayed, this is how the west thinks of indians
PLEASEEEE WATCH 3 IDIOTS, IVE WATCHED IT SO MANY TIMESSSS
This is one of my favorite movies ever, I watch it for the first time when I was like 8 or 9 and never forget about it❤

drake said “fake friends write the wrong answers on the mirror for me” because of this movie
The reason who killed himself in the bathtub with the money was because he knows that blood can’t be washed off the money rendering the money useless.
I've been refreshing the page all day waiting for this!!!
slumdog millionaire is easily one of the best movies i’ve seen in my life!! so amazing.
Such a beautiful movie. The last scene always makes me choke up.
Skins (UK) would be a GREAT show for you to react to if it's not too inappropriate for YT
love love love this movie i’ve been waiting soo impatient for this video since yall r the best 🥰
20:32 yeah Verstappen kinda wins every race, actually last year he set a new record for most wins in row (10) and most wins in a season (19) he's insane i love him 😂 nice reaction guys!!
I was like 6 when I watched this movie for the first time. I was a little traumatised but it also immediately became one of my favourite movies lok
in Islam, we believe our fates have already been written by God, so usually in life when something occurs we say it is written. The gameshow host sort of made a play on that.
Hindus believe that too so it’s mutual
Yh khadr
Such a great movie. They were together in real life for a long time. ❤
This movie was a whole craze when it came out. So well directed, the plot is incredible, the acting. Fantastic movie.
It's the greatest love story and one of the greates movies I've ever seen.
So happy you guys reacted to this as an Indian person who watches your videos:)
Well, he is winning 20 million rupees on the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire
17:50 I played that song so many times after this movie.
One of the few movies that both my husband and I loved, as we have very different tastes on movies. I visited Mumbai for work and my coworkers showed me some of the scenes where the movies was filmed. It really is sad the poverty level in some spots.

@@mandy6860 like a reality show?
Yes a reality show. They may still be on UA-cam 'the real best exotic marigold hotel season 1 or 2' both are good

MIA17:38 18:17
One of my all time faves
Please react to 3 Idiots too some time in the future! It's a legendary Bollywood movie, funny and heartwarming at the same time :)
You should watch Hotel Mumbai! Also with Dev Patel :D
38:11 I used to watch the show as a kid when it was on constantly, and yes, when people say like "I know it isn't A" and then use 50/50, that answer A would always (90% of the time I'd say) be one of the ones to disappear you're right.
Speaking of Skins, I think you guys would like it(just watch gen 1/2).
I don't think it would garner great numbers on UA-cam, though.
lol you guys gotta find some forgiveness and sympathy, Salim totally redeemed himself when he sacrificed his life for Latika's freedom. He was an A-hole for what he did to his brother and latika when they were kids but he also was a kid as well with a ton of trauma that affected him differently from his little brother.

Hell no
I mean did he need to rape latika and abandon his brother? He never even tried to help anyone else until Jamal found him again all those years latika was a sex slave because of him. Salim sucks
I hope you'll consider watching THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK. If you haven't already seen it, Di'Caprio is one in cast of greats.
Omg im so surprised yall reacted to this , this is such a great movie and EVEN A BETTER BOOK!! If you loved the movie, you will LOVE the book!
Favorite movie of all time❤️❤️so happy to see this reaction. 🤩🙌🙏
37:40 bryce is insane for this LOL
Heavy movie. It’s time I watched it again.
I love Indian / Pakistani movies.
White teeth (tv series) with om puri
Brick lane
Monsoon wedding
My favorites are about the British Raj from the 90s:
The Far Pavilions
The Jewel in the Crown (series)
This has literally been my favorite movie since I was a child
Oh Wow! This is my favorite movie of all time! This movie inspired me to foster parent, just thinking about kids growing up on their own like this.
Happy to see your reaction about this movie! Long time I didn't watch it and I was able to watch it today thanks to you! One of great movies I ever watched
I love this movie thank you for the reaction
For some reason, another movie with Indian actors comes to mind which is really good.. It's called Life of Pi.
React to Amadeus pls.
A movie that owns the oscars and two actors nominated for best actors and one of them won the award.
Surdas was blind. Blind kids to beg. They blinded the kid, scooped out his eyes with a hot spoon.
As some other mention before in the comments, I hope you’ll watch ”Life of Pi” at some point.
Also ”The best Exotic Marigold Hotel”, Dev Patel is so charming in that one!
Y’all need to watch desert flower please
waiting for the kill bill vol.2 react!!!
Funny enough, i've Also just recently seen this movie (I'd wanted to watch it for the longest time)
I wish Salim could have had a bigger redeption, but I know he could never have been trusted, he couldnt have had a relationship with Jamal
Oh, you guys NEED to watch Skins
Are you guys on Letterboxd???
Just started watching you guys and am pumped to see how you guys react to Sharp Objects.
amazing movie
Never been this early! Yay! You guys are great!
Yes, Verstappen does win every race and it is absurf 😂

Yall should watch the movie LION ! really great movie and a real story
God, I hope you get to do Lion too!
Dev Patel really has carved out such a cool career for himself. I saw Slumdog Millionaire FOUR TIMES at the cinema when it came out. 😂
As a kid with autism I watched this at 11 and know all the answers. I wanted to move to India after
Why did you have to mention Skins. Now I'll never be happy until you've all seen it
You guys should react to Lion. It’s an awesome movie starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman and it’s based on a true story.
Incredible movie!
I remember watching this movie growing up, always stuck with me, such an amazing film.
16:01 I think they were abducting children from here and there to have them beg on streets. They would make them handicapped so that people give more money.
Actually this film is ain't that popular and loved in India, rather should definitely see RRR or 3 idiots!
PLEASEEE WATCH 3 IDIOTS!!! ITS MY FAVOURITE BOLLYWOOD MOVIE, I HAVE WATCHED IT SO MANY TIMES, THE PLOT IS WONDERFUL AND LOVELY
Have you guys watched City of God?
Apparently Dev still has people playing Jai Ho! and asking him to do the dance 😂
7:09 NOT THE PEANUT BUTTER BABY VINE REFERENCE
Absolute banger of a movie and a reaction ❤
I love Bollywood dances!
One question remain: How did he get in the game ?
You should watch Skins (UK). You would love it
Dev Patel is Zuko in the Last Airbender.
There is no Avatar movie in Ba Sing Se
Do a reaction to Lion pleaseee! Fave Dev Patel ones
Dude I clicked so fast on this😂😂 I LOVE this movie
Also Monkey Man was so fcking good
49:19 RRR
Absolutely love this movie. Super underrated and a great story.

White tiger is an amazing movie u should check out
Agreed
Such a well directed film. The score was a masterpiece
Yes my BABY DEV PATEL , watching an iconic movie that had white people thinking India was like this everywhere lmao but Dev Patel excellence and oscar nom was well worth it
