The film is cleverly conceived and revolves around three lines. One is Gemma's participation in the TV program "Who wants to be a millionaire"; The other was at the police station, where Gemma was questioned by the police to investigate whether he cheated on the show. This leads to the third line, his memories of past experiences. The three threads are skillfully woven together, and there is no sense of clutter.
At the beginning of the film, the audience was asked a question: Gemma? Malik is one question away from winning 20 million rupees. How did he do it? He cheated. He is very lucky. C.he is a genius. D. destiny takes a hand. Then the camera goes back to Gemma's childhood, and a group of children are playing cricket happily in the afterglow of dusk. At this time, a very Indian soundtrack, Osaya, was played, which was beautiful music from a talented Indian soundtrack master, A.R. Raman. Happiness is short-lived. They were expelled by the security guards in the rich areas, because the places where they played belonged to private areas, so they started a great chase, shocking garbage dumps, low and shabby houses, narrow aisles, dirty rivers, lazy dogs, frightened chickens and noisy crowds. Every shot is smooth. Gemma and her brother Shelim ran home. Mother grabbed the two brothers, apologized to the security guard and dragged them back to the classroom. Three musketeers was having a class at this time, but it was already in the middle.
The first question Gemma answered was: 1973 Who starred in the action movie Imprisonment? When the camera goes back to Ji Ma's childhood, Ji Ma tries to get her idol Amida. Bacher's signature did not hesitate to jump into the cesspit, and Gemma's desperate pursuit of ideals had taken shape at this time. However, the signed photo she finally got was stolen by Sherim and sold. As a result, the images of two brothers with huge differences in personality were portrayed, which laid the groundwork for their different fates. Gemma's second question is that there are three lions on the national emblem of India. What's written under the lion? Truth conquers all. Lies conquer everything. C. Fashion conquers everything. Money can conquer everything. Gemma doesn't know the questions that the police officer's five-year-old daughter can answer. He turned to the audience. This is an irony. When he was a child, how could he believe the bullshit of "truth conquers everything" on the national emblem? He didn't even believe the wrong answer that the host deliberately wrote on the bathroom mirror. The painful experience gave him insight into people's hearts. "What does the God Rama described in the teachings hold in his right hand?" This question aroused Gemma's painful memories. His mother died tragically in the religious conflict. In the conflict between Islam and Hinduism, the image of a Hindu with a bow and arrow will always be engraved in his mind. This is the answer to a question that comes to his mind when he wakes up every morning.
Two brothers who lost their loved ones in the religious conflict became good friends with another little girl, Latikka, and lived a wandering life. They were deceived by Punus, the leader of the gang who manipulated vagrants to beg, and entered another more sinister environment. Sherim witnessed with his own eyes how a child who sings beautifully, Belewen, was blinded by a gangster with a potion. When Gemma faced the same fate, Sherim threw the potion at the gangster and began to run away. The two brothers got on the train, but Sherim finally gave up his hand to their Latikka. Latikka's figure in the night has become an eternal pain in Gemma's heart, and it has also made saving Latikka a commitment he has always adhered to. At this time, a sad theme of Latikka appeared, which made the picture even more bleak.
The two brothers sell all kinds of small things in the train compartment and wander on the top of the train. On such a hard day, there is a cheerful background music-paper airplane, which makes people even more sad, and also makes this detail have a different charm, making people laugh with tears. Maybe this is seen from the eyes of the memory. In memory, all pain, suffering and misery are weightless, all become weightless, all shrouded in a warm aura, leaving only happy details. Then they wandered to the Taj Mahal and pretended to be tour guides to earn tour guide fees. When they were caught and beaten by the police, he said to American tourists, "Do you want to see the most representative things in India? This is it. " American tourists stopped the police brutality and said justly, "Well, it's real American time next, son." This detail is afraid of Danny? Boyle's trick to please America and attack Oscar.
Then they returned to Mumbai, because Gemma was infatuated with Latikka and wanted to find her. At the corner of the underground passage, he met Belewen, who was blind because of singing and begging. Gemma gave him one hundred dollars. Belewen didn't believe him and asked him who was painted on the bill. Gemma said he didn't know. It was an old man with long hair. Bellevin smiled and said it was Benjamin. Franklin. Gemma whispered that she was sorry, as if he had blinded Bellevue's eyes, but how could he be the one who should apologize? He is so weak and helpless that it makes people sad. Levin touched Gemma's head and ears with his hand and said, "Gemma, you are a big shot now. I'm happy for you. You're saved. I'm unlucky. This is the only difference. " I immediately burst into tears for the optimism and kindness of this blind child. The meeting with Belewen let Gemma know the whereabouts of Latikka. This experience made Gemma correctly answer, "Which portrait of the American president is on the 100 dollar bill?" Such a question.
When they found Latikka and were about to take her away, Punus appeared. Sherim pulled out his gun and shot the wicked man. But you gave Latikka to javed? Kanger (another gang leader) became a mistress, thus becoming a gangster around the leader. Later, they separated, and Gemma actually participated in this program so that Latikka could see him on TV. Last question: What is the name of the second three musketeers besides atos and Porto in three musketeers? Gemma smiled. When the teacher was talking about "three musketeers" in class, he and Sherim skipped class to play cricket. He always hoped that Latikka was three musketeers, but he never knew three musketeers's name. He asked for help by phone and called his brother. He didn't know that the phone was in Latikka's hand, and Sherim let it out on purpose. Sherim was awed by Gemma's persistence and decided to give his life for justice. The phone was connected at the last minute, and Gemma finally heard Latikka's voice. His first sentence was not asking for an answer, but "Is it really you?" Latikka didn't know the answer all the time and failed to ask for help, but Gemma's purpose of participating in the program has been achieved. Gemma became the son of Fortune, and he finally got the right answer. At the end of the film, Gemma and Latikka embrace at the railway station platform, and the melodious theme song of Latikka rings again, and their past lives instantly fly into countless pictures. The cruelty of this world is beyond everyone's imagination, but there are still many beautiful things worthy of our persistence and pursuit. At the end of the movie, the answer to the question raised at the beginning of the movie is written.
