    I would want to receive a Grammy’s award for being a musician and for making some of the best music on the market. I want to go up on stage see all the people out in the vast space of the auditorium. Have people wanting to look through my perspective because I have half a million followers it’s like having an army behind you. I would have to be able to make music videos I would receive another award for having the best videos on music apps. People would have to respect me spending over half of my life making music just so the fans can keep listening like zombies, or drones. Truthfully I don’t think I would be able to handle the power of being basically a god having half the people on earth looking up to you that’s like making your own religion.

    Slumdog Millionaire and Globalization

    Adapted from the novel Q&A by Indian author Simon Beaufoy, Slumdog Millionaire, directed by English filmmaker Danny Boyle, opened to huge fanfare during its release in 2008.

    The Use of Poverty Porn in Slumdog Millionaire and Its Effect of the Western View of India

    When Danny Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire came out at the end of 2008, people instantly fell in love with it. In 2009 it was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight, which was the most won by any film that year. Everyone seemed to be very drawn to the “feel good” aspect of the movie where a poor kid like Jamal, the main character of Boyle’s film, can overcome the massive obstacles thrown in front of his path to success and eventually come out with the girl, 100 million Rupees and the love of the nation where he just become an overnight sensation. “Slumdog Millionaire”, a movie review written by Robert Koehler, and Alice Miles’, “Shocked by Slumdog’s Poverty Porn”, both criticize Danny Boyle’s movie, but greatly differ in their composition of the arguments as to why they were displeased with the movie. Koehler writes a very professional review of Slumdog Millionaire that criticizes it for problems such as an underdeveloped and predictable plot line and its skewed depiction of Indian social reality to help to appeal to a westernized audience, whereas Miles writes a much more opinionated essay that dwells more on what seem like her personal problems with the movie, and her very aggressive tone against the movie in the whole paper makes her seem too closed minded on the topic.…
