I listened an interwiev between Danny Boyle and Francin Stock. During
this process, I definitely learned to be more patient. I listened it
again and again. I was sometimes angry with the speed of their speech.
Actually, it wasn't so funny for me. But,even if it was difficult for
me, I finally achieved to understand them.And here I shared the summary of this interwiev for you.
Danny Boyle was interviewed and the interviewer was Francin
Stock.Francine Stock talks to Danny Boyle about his award-winning Mumbai
drama, Slumdog Millionaire
Francin Stocks starts interwiev by asking him 'Here
you are as a westerner filming in India how do you avoid that kind of 'film
tourism' element?'.
Danny Boyle answers her 'That
was the most important thing to avoid from my prespective. White people
visit far flung places and use them as exotic backdrops, they feel
particularly inappropriate in like a new century. And although I am like
a white director going there,it was
very important that the cast of the film was a completely Indian
cast.These characters all come from the city and they belong there and
they are not speaking words corrected by westerners.'
The second question is that 'what are you asking us to do,I mean there is no point in reading it in realistic?the idea that this boy from the slums can get way up to the sort of the late
very lucrative stages isn't so realistic.'
The answer from Danny Boyle is like that ':
Except there are all sorts of rumors that it was based on a true story. He can answer all these questions. His life
has equipped him to do that and I think that point is realistic that no matter
what your apparent,education life has also equipped you with a series of tools
that you will find surprisingly useful which he certainly does on the show.'
Another question is again asked by Francine Stock : ' permission
to actually use the format of "Who Wants to be a Millionare" how did
you get that? '
The answer is like that it was a coincidence 'Its
actually down to this woman Tessa Ross who runs a Film 4. She had commissioned
Simon to adapt the bulk than sent his application to Celedor
who are a company and they had sold it but they had very craftily kept the right to make a
film , they didnt have to pay for the music, the image rights any of that they
were allowed to make it.So we inherited the right to make the film for free
from that point of view so that was a huge benefit which is partly coincedence
and partly Tessa Ross of Film4 of course.
The other question about something on the streets of Mumbai teach
anything Danny Boyle had never come across as a director.
The answer of this question is given by Danny Boyle like that , 'it is the most extraordinary oppurtunity to grab life.There is
so much life going on there.You have to abandon disciplines like
continuity and repetition. And what you find is the frustrations that you might think might occur
because you cant follow the usual disciplines.
In this interwiev, Danny Boyle talks about the difficulties of
filming in a different town with different culture, the name of the
film, the subtitles, the topic of the film. He also compares his own
film with France films. For more information listen to the interwiev.
My Personal Questions
1) Do you think why does your film draw much attention all over the world?
2) what is the most important thing in the film? what do you try to give your audience as a message?
