The movie : Slum Dog Millionaire is not just best for cinematography , but for a reality show too .
Slumdog Millionaire is not just another movie about making money & tons of it . But rather , it's all about poverty . In reality , poverty still exists strongly .
I was in the Philippines last year during the month of december for a visit & what shocked me was : poverty does takes place in reality . I was just as fortunate as the director danny boyle himself , to be able to lived a life of luxury under cool & comfort shelter . Fortunate is what i described myself to be living in . But not for some others who's in the Philippines . Actually , i was there to visit Manila , Philippines . As it was similar to that of Mumbai , India . Capital cities always portrayed a better , healthier & luxury & cleaner image than towns & provinces .
Stayed at Manila , Philippines , for a few day's , before making my move to the provinces . I was in for a shock nonetheless . But the after shock was mild . Coz , i grew up with my poverty grandparents too as a kid growing up in Singapore . Both my grandparents hailed from : mainland china .
The simple things in life , is what city guy's should witness while staying in the provinces . We're so much more fortunate than the natives from the provinces . For me , it's a real eye opener to the world of reality . It's not a show , nor a documentary programs . It's real in fact . ;) ;)
Why i was there , coz , my sweetheart grews up in a poverty environment , despite she's been telling me that i was a gal from a poor family . Eventually , i still ended up visiting her & her family there in the Phils . Me , i was not a boy growing up with a silver spoon . I was in the middle , rather . Though not too rich & wealthy , at least , i've had a proper 3 meals each day , a proper shelter above my head & some spare cash for junk snacks .
But after visiting my sweetheart's family , her elder sister's asked me is everything fine & ok with me , there at their place , i said fine , not a problemo . Coz , i mizzed farm life , cows & goats alike , simple kind of life . I'm a foreigner visiting their place & home . Plus I'm a city boy staying in Singapore . That's why the strange reactions from them . But to me , i'm a province/village boy at heart . As long as i can be with my sweetheart , who cares man . To be with the gal whom you loved , nothing else matters whether she's a poor gal or a rich gal .
I hope more , local Singaporeans will get to watch : slumdog millionaires , the movie , & get to know how fortunate themselves are , as compared to those who lived in the slums like in India & the Philippines . Travel & take a walk , there , you'll be in for a shock & a real eye opener to the actual facts & events happening around you . Taste & sample the fun of simple living & soaked yourself in a poverty stage where the locals are living & feast on the rarest simple life which we no longer be able to taste it in developed urban countries . Country like : Singapore , has become an urban concrete wall place . Coz , we can't sample & taste farm life anymore here in Singapore . It's dead .
Go out there , Singaporeans , catch slumdog millionaire the movie & for those who volunteers themselves in tertiary institutes , as part of the Singapore & Philippnes in-conjunctions with volunteers work to helped the less fortunate , this is your chance to go & witness why we're so much better than our neighbouring countries friend's in terms of lifestyles & modern living . Compared & soaked into their cultures & lifestyles there , & you'll fully understand the real meanings of simple living aka simple farm life village lifestyles .
Thanks to all , it's a great place to leave comments behind & to share your individual experiences which one encounters while visiting other asian continents too . Cheers ! ! ! ! ;) ;) ;) ;)
