Slum Life Continues for Two 'Slumdog Millionaire' Stars
Filmmakers Say Kids Were Paid Well but Parents Complain They Haven't Reaped Any Benefits From Movie's Success

Yeah, the kids were paid well.
Because normally they would get 10c to act...and the film paid them a dollar.
So they were paid well.

m'fkers.

Rich people making money depicting people's poverty and suffering.
You have to love f'king ethics free capitalism.

lol
I am sure there was a contract drawn up and a sum of $ agreed upon..

I think it is a case of greediness.
parents see how much $ and good reviews the film is getting they want a bigger piece of the pie now.

Oh give me a f'king break.

All said and done,it was an english version of a bollywood movie.
It was good but not as good as critics making it out to be.
I still say A Cajun Story was better than this movie by a country mile but because it was a low budget film it will never get the recognition it deserves.
Anyone here seen A Cajun Story?

That and the part where he jumped into the outhouse hole to get his autograph.

The blinding is real though. They even use little children/babies to gain the sympathy of tourists. They are everywhere in India and they literally gang up on you. I had to run into a nearby bank to get away once. Literally, run.

That's one aspect of my trip I want to forget.

great movie!

cornfused · Postby **cornfused** » March 16th, 2009, 9:09 am

it was a bit of an eye opener , i have seen favelas on the mainland but this was a different level danny boyle has come good again i really liked trainspotting.

Also,, capitalism yes for movies to made there must be an investment but i am not so sure what the issue is. Known sums were agreed to and monies paid , the thing is i'm sure if the parents of the child who paid small salim ect were not happy with the offer there would be at least 100-150 thousand children and famailes willing to take their place and that's the reality.

Not what was agreed upon and that the movies was supposed to give the family something that was never agreed upon . if nbc abc of whomever has a problem with this do something to alleviate the conditions of some portion of the billions of people in the world who live in similar conditions
