SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (dir. Danny Boyle, 2008)

[lilithism1848]

[sherliam-hualian]

Listen, to all the lovely Indians out there, I'm sorry if I offend you right now but 'Slumdog Millionaire' (even though it's from 2008-) is a knock-off version of William's backstory. Let me re-write this and explain my point.

William grew up in the slums of Whitechapel. He lived there together with his brother Louis. They found it really hard to survive in the slums. Their mother died. Luckily, William and Louis got away together.

They met Albert, and William suggested he could be the third Lord of Crime. The three of them became brothers. One day Jack- also previously called 'Jack the Ripper'- Took Albert, William and Louis and made them his apprentices. etc..

Y'all see my point? I mean, not everything is correct and you can hate me all I want but I just thought it was really cool

( Please tell me if I'm wrong because I don't want to spread misinformation)

united states: the bulk of families. office jobs and college education, able to live comfortably. live in suburban homes far from the city centre.

united kingdom: skilled lower class, urban workers. will never be upper class, not even through economic ascension (unless marrying up i guess). live in modest suburban homes with limited space.

The renaming of racist advertising mascots in 2020-2021 was greeted with like, okay, yeah they sucked but it's super late to do and that's not what anyone was marching in the streets over

Meanwhile MAGA types, who are OBSESSED with the sanctity of advertising bc their ideal world only ever existed in 1950s magazine ads for ham-flavored jello salads, have never shut up about them. They absolutely think that's what people were marching in the streets over. They started a myth that there was a real Aunt Jemima - that the woman hired to play her in public appearances, Nancy Green, actually created the brand and died "one of the first black millionaires" - when. No she's just a stock character from blackface minstrel shows. They're excitedly speculating that Trump winning & "defeating woke" will mean they'll have to bring back Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and the Land-O'-Lakes Indian and like. I cannot imagine a more empty life than one where you attach very real and powerful feelings to the packaging of rice and butter and want to enshrine fascism in part so that they can put stereotypes from the 19th century back on them

Why Spiderman-India/Pavitr Prabhakar is one of the best examples of Indian representation I've seen in a long time

Mumbattan

Lets talk about Earth-50101, Mumbattan, Pavitr's home dimension. Mumbattan is displayed as a beautiful, colorful dimension with lots of traffic, lots of people, and lots of culture. When we see Gwen, Miles and Pav swinging through Mumbattan, we see people wearing saris, people driving scootys, Indian-style billboards and even temples in the surroundings. This is an extremely accurate depiction of large Indian cities.

Mumbattan on the left, Mumbai on the right

See how similar these look?

Now compare this to how Hollywood's Slumdog Millionaire movie depicts India.

Every single movie depicting India made by Hollywood portrays India as a country full of slums and dirty people. I have never seen Hollywood portray India as the beautiful, culture-filled country it is, and I have never seen one of the many beautiful temples, or the advanced cities represented in western media until now. Slumdog Millionaire is a fantastic movie, but India isn't only made up of slums.

Hollywood tends to romanticize struggle and when depicting India, makes it seem like a very depressing country. Yes, there are slums in India. Yes, there are people struggling in India. But that doesn't mean that India isn't beautiful. It doesn't mean India is behind. Mumbattan is the first depiction of India I've seen that I feel portrays the beauty and culture of India well. It is a fantastic representation.

2. Pavitr's personality

One of the most recent and most popular Indian representation series right now is the show, Never Have I Ever. In my opinion, this show is terrible. The main character, Devi Vishwakumar, is the stereotype of all stereotypes and doesn't accurately portray most Desi girls. She is rude, selfish, and extremely narcissistic. Her entire personality is being Indian and I find that extremely hard to watch. They make fun of her by addressing stereotypes like an excess of body hair, fashion, and even accents but instead of shutting down these stereotypes, they amplified them by making fun of them.

In western media, Indians are either portrayed as IT workers, scammers, grocery store owners, or nerdy, try-hard teenagers. Every show with an Indian teenager in it portrays them as cheap, unhygienic or unattractive which I, as an Indian, find extremely offensive.

Pavitr is portrayed as an optimistic Indian teenager who's smart and strong, without bragging about it, proud of being Indian without making it his whole personality and genuinely funny. He isn't portrayed as some skinny, nerdy guy with glasses. In fact, he's literally shown flexing his muscles, and performing well in class without going overboard about it. He's so full of culture, I can't even begin to explain it because I'll never stop. His suit, his mask, his webs, the way he moves, the way he fights, its all beautiful and I could watch for days on end without getting bored.

We were finally served an attractive, funny Indian character who isn't a walking stereotype, who loves and embraces his culture and just seems like an awesome guy to be around. Seeing him on screen made me feel so proud, of my religion and my culture. I hope Hollywood takes notes on this and continues providing the media with proper Indian representation and strong Indian role models for characters!

This article explains everything I said a little better, because I know my writing style can be confusing sometimes. It really goes into depth on how impactful it is on Indians to see this kind of representation for the first time in western media and how important this is.

He's so pretty <3 I'm so proud that I look like him

Might go even more in-depth eventually, I just really wanted to get this off my chest because I love him so much 😭

Splatoon 3 is wild because imagine if you were living in Japan due to a recent economic and cultural boom, and suddenly a space shuttle with a mutant house-sized T-rex riding it suddenly burst from the center of Mt. Fuji and disappeared into space without explanation, and all you ever find out about what the fuck that was about is that Zuckerburg mysteriously disappeared the same day and was never seen again, but still "officially" ran Meta through an open secret Queen-Elizabeth-being-in-good-health gaslighting campaign, and everybody kind of suspected he may have been connected but never figured out anything conclusive.

Also the T-rex is now orbiting the earth in the fetal position like the guy from Jojo, and there are rumors of a substance that, if touched, turns you into a half-dinosaur monster. Nobody understands any of this but Meta employees just keep going to work and pretending Zuck still exists. The same 12 prerecorded voicelines constantly squak from the PA system.

Oddly, the statue in front of Meta HQ of a T-rex eating a human changes overnight into one of a giant human eating a tiny T-rex. Nobody noticed the switch, despite the statue being in a constantly bustling area. It happened shortly after the shuttle incident.

Jack Black's tiny clone, Lil' Jack, now wears a headset at all times and has been acting really shady since the incident. Also they're both hyperintelligent, immortal velociraptors found in an ancient cryogenic chamber who spend their days judging college football and eating the legally harvested flesh of hillbillies. Lil' Jack is probably plotting to kill Big Jack, but Big Jack doesn't seem to care, growing fat and lazy, sleeping on public benches in a bed of throw pillows. Also, he's very open about the fact that, as a velociraptor, humans look delicious, but he hasn't actually eaten anybody aside from the aforementioned hillbillies because he's civil.

Everyone is just expected to move on with their lives after this. This is normal to you.

The local art school was recently attacked by giant sea serpents, which were actually hideously bioengineered hillbillies, fulfilling a biblical doomsday prophecy, and they were driven back by Meta's army of minimum wage, part time child soldiers armed with warcrimey jury-rigged weaponry. The sea serpents had giant frying pans grafted into their mouths, which launched primitive tactical nukes made by filling garbage bags with their explosive blood. They still exist, and occasionally defend their comrades, but spend most of their time in the deep sea.

The local homeless emo twink everyone's attracted to is a closet millionaire who sells bootleg clothing in exchange for live rats, which he messily devours behind closed doors. He's also 8 feet tall and British and only has one eye.

North Korean refugees now flood the western world, after a greasy 14 year old hipster, under the guidance of Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, beat Kim Jong Un in a mech battle, and the EDM remix of the Japanese national anthem they performed caused like half the soldiers to immediately realize North Korea sucks ass and defect. One of these individuals, 7 foot tall hypergenius, becomes a newscaster alongside a nepo baby rapper with dwarfism who likes to eat entire jars of mayo, and also they're a popular band. Also also, they may or may not be gay. Almost the entire population is gay, so this isn't a huge deal.

The new local newscasters are a famous Japanese lion tamer, an Indian girl with a bloodline trait allowing her to control snakes, and a Brazillian man the size of a smart car who exclusively communicates via grunts.

Gods, souls and zombies are objectively real, and you're effectively immortal because real-life respawning was invented a while ago. It works like a Keurig, but with mucus instead of coffee. Submersion in water kills you.

A good deal of the population is a hivemind. They pretend to be individuals for no reason.

Almost all men are now femboys.

Despite all this, you still have to go to work at 9 tomorrow.

Letter to Mr. G. W. Wickersham from A Citizen of Arkansas

Record Group 10: Records of the National Commission on Law Observance and EnforcementSeries: Letters from the PublicFile Unit: Folder 2 [1/2]

THE NAME "CHISCA" ORIGINATED IN THE NAME OF AN INDIAN CHIEF AND OF HIS VILLAGE ON THE CHICKASAW BLUFFS WHERE NOW STANDS MEMPHIS

Hotel Chisca

MEMPHIS, TENN.

RECEIVED JUL 10 1929

NATIONAL COMMISSION ON LAW OBSERVANCE AND ENFORCEMENT

[handwritten] Prohibition

Mr. G.W. Wickersham,

Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir;

Have just read that you say that "Justice to be effective should be speedy".

A very true saying; but a better one would be this; "Justice to be effective should be impartial."

The law will take up a negro or poor white man who has one-half pint in his house and wink at the wealthy man who has 200 gallons in his house. A rich man here, crated up 25 cases of good whiskey, a few days ago and shipped it to Kansas City. He had kept it in his residence for many years and neither State or Federal law dared touch it, neither did either authority take notice, the other day, when he moved it.

There is plenty of law in regard to curbing or controlling large combinations of money in the United States. These laws are being violated every day; Will your Commission take notice of this?

Am enclosing some clippings--Read and see what the Writers think of your Commission.

One clipping tells of Capt. Lee, a Memphis Millionaire who was caught red handed with i75 gallons of Liquor on his Wharf, but being this rich, neither the State Grand Jury or the Federal Authorities, care to both Mr. Lee.

Had he been a Negro or poor white, he would be looking thru the bars at this time.

Yours very truly,

Citizen of Arkansas.

what didn’t you like about monkey man?

first and foremost, the story is painfully simple. it barely warrants a feature length film, a short film really would have sufficed. now, a simple story can be augmented, and even elevated, by style, but sporadic scenes in black and red do not fulfill this criteria, at least not for me. the rest of the film wallowed in modern, globalised, hollywood continuity; there weren't even any stark editing mistakes to make it interesting.

the narrative structure, with the constant use of flashbacks reminded me most strikingly of slumdog millionaire, a sixteen year old film by now; it somehow felt like dev patel was trying to relive his first flush of international fame.

ideologically, i remained completely unimpressed, and i think the first thought that crossed my mind, that i've probably noted somewhere on this very blog was “nri saviour complex”. it was insufficient in it's critique of hindutva, it fell back on the good hindu/bad hindu trope and while i remember patel mentioning that he wanted to talk about caste in the film, there were no explicit references to caste, and given the intended international audience for monkey man, this was a grave oversight.

not to mention, the general lack of complexity really directed my attention to the fact that the film-makers were counting on the exoticism of an indian setting, sans substance and any hint of weight, to carry the film.

the singular point of interest was a few cuts to what appeared to be documentary footage, which is a page out of the indian activist film maker's playbook, but that barely lasted a minute, so what can i really say about it? i wonder about the sources for that footage, but that's about all that stood out to me.
