But that hasnt stop a backlash from kicking in. What was once the little video that could is now the favorite movie to take a track at. Everything from accusing the filmmakers of exploiting the child actors in Mumbai by paying them small change on a film whose groundwide gross is $86 million so farâ€"to claims that the movie, from British director Danny Boyle, is last in India because real slumdwellers hate being called slumdogs. Then there are the critics who insist the film is far from all its buggy up to be. The arguments go like this (jump in if you agree or disagree):

--The movie isnt an upper, its poverty porn, exploiting misery for fun and profit.

--Its a white mans imagined India, not the real thing.

--The movie shows the worst aspects of India and that is what the western world likes to see.

--The plot is impossible to believe.



The questions that girlish Jamal (Dev Patel) is asked on Indias version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire correspond chronologically with traumas in a young boys life.

--The quiz show theme sends the wrong messageâ€" the solution is education and hard work, not a quick fix.

--The movies pleasure feels more like a filmmakers count than an honest cry from the heart about the human spirit.
