Slumdog Millionaire.

The movie of Slumdog Millionaire and the book were completely different. The screenwriter of the movie took out many, many details from the book. I’m sure part of the reason they did was to cut down on time but they needed to clean the movie up a bit from the book. Let's just say the book can be a little graphic at times. Not only that, but if they kept it the way it was, it wouldn’t appeal much to the American audience. Taking out the parts they did made it easier for not only Americans but people in general to relate to. The book is still relatable, there is just so much more Indian culture in it, and it’s harder for people not of that culture to comprehend. They live in a world where kids, little kids grow up, without parents, without food, without a home, without anything. People and the adults who are suppose to be taking care of them are so wrapped up into themselves that they abuse and hurt these little kids, who never had a chance.
The main character in this book is named Thomas; he grew up going from foster home to foster home when finally a priest named timothy took him in. While Thomas was still very young, timothy was killed by another priest whom after shot timothy, shot himself. I don’t know one person who can really relate to that. And hopefully I’ll never meet one. This book is very debatable when it comes to relating to this story. Changing the details from thebook into the movie made the movie much, much better than it already was.
