This is the second time I watched "Slumdog Millionaire", and I found that I had problems with my understanding of the movie.
When I watched it for the first time, I thought this movie was not just a story about a slum guy participating in a quiz show and winning an award, and then he answered all the questions correctly, and finally got married to his lover.
Watching it this time, I found that these questions are really difficult for a person who has not read the book. It is almost impossible to answer them correctly. The protagonist can answer them correctly. It can be said to be destined. At the end of the movie, used this word.
I originally thought this was the fate of the hero and heroine, but now I find that this destiny has some other meanings. It does not only refer to the encounter between the two people, but also refers to his answering these questions correctly.
How is it that the protagonist is destined to answer these questions correctly?
Because of the protagonist’s personal experience, I know the answers to these questions one after another.
There are eight questions in total.
The first question: What was the name of the leading actor in the 1937 film "Confinement"?
The second question: What is Moro holding in his hand?
The third question: Who is the author of "Let Me See You"?
Question 4: Who is the $100 avatar?
Question 5: Who is the inventor of the revolver?
Question 6: In which British city is Cambridge Square located?
Question 7: Which cricketer scored the most exciting century in history?
Question 8: One of the characters in "The Three Musketeers" by Alexandre Dumas is Athos and the other is Porthos. Who is the third musketeer?

During the escape, the protagonist The heroine is left behind by his brother;
The protagonist is obsessed with the heroine and wants to find her back. When he meets his companion who was blinded back then, he gives the companion a 100 US dollar bill. This 100 US dollars is He earned it as a tour guide. In order to verify whether what he gave was true, his blind companion asked the protagonist to describe the appearance of the 100-dollar avatar, which allowed him to know who the 100-dollar avatar was;

A few years later, the male protagonist worked as a tea waiter in an operator company. Once, he temporarily helped someone with the wiring. He called to ask questions about Cambridge Square. This time, the male protagonist found his brother’s phone number;
The seventh question is the question that the male protagonist knows the least about. During the intermission, the host told the male protagonist a false answer. After taking a chance to eliminate the two wrong answers, the host Choose between the answer given by the person and another answer. The male protagonist chose not to cheat, but got the answer correctly;
Coming to the last question, he asked who the three musketeers were in "The Three Musketeers" , to this question, one of the lessons his mother took him to school was about "The Three Musketeers," which meant that he also knew the answer.
Seeing this, I felt that these questions were simply designed by God for him. As long as there were some deviations, he would not be able to answer them. This may be the destiny mentioned at the end of the movie.
This movie made me realize that our experience may be a wealth, but most people cannot use this wealth reasonably.
Summary in one sentence: Our experiences are all a treasure.
