“Slumdog Millionaire” Powerfully affirms the ups and downs of life through three structures
2023.03.06
Rather than clinging to Boyle-ness, we aim for greater heights.
It's been 15 years since "Slumdog" was born. Looking at it now, this movie does not adhere to the existing ``Boyle-ness'', nor does it consist solely of the friendly atmosphere between the staff members. Rather, it is characterized by the fact that all participants work together as one to reach a goal, greedily absorbing elements that come from outside, and combining various talents, lives, connections, and relationships like a puzzle.
Since this work, Boyle's works have become more free-flowing and unconventional. It really feels like a door that had never been opened before has opened.

Through this film, Danny Boyle grasped his destiny while covered in sweat and mud, and evolved to the next level career-wise, mentally, and creatively. Jamal, the main character in ``Slumdog,'' who runs through a three-story story and reaches a grand finale, may be exactly Boyle himself.
