'Slumdog Millionaire' creators vow to help the film's impoverished kids

It doesn’t matter how bad things get in Mumbai. I don’t mean to be so harsh but I’m trying to make a point. Things are hard everywhere now. An actor does their job, and then they go home. Thats how it is in every movie. Actors are not the directors responsibility after the fact. If the “actor” wants to make more money, well….like every other actor, the person needs to find a new project to be hired on. But it is not the directors responsibility. I don’t know how “nishin or manshin” thinks the movie industry works, but unknown actors don’t get the kind of money that you think they do. THE DIRECTORS HAVE NOT ADOPTED THOSE CHILDREN. They were only actors in a movie. The movie is completed. That’s where it should really end. period.

Hey y v r discussing all this….bottom line is everyone associated with movie earned $$$ n their pockets r filled up now no more space left……..there must b thousands or even millions associated with movie they all got bread n butter for themselves…..juts b happy with this……..

So the filmmakers make millions on the backs of a poverty stricken community, and are not sure how they can help the kids that were in the movie. The trust fund is wonderful but what about now: nutrition, clean water? I realize it is not the filmmakers and studio’s responsibility, BUT it is sickening that they, like I said before, are making millions from a movie whose featuring of said poverty was integral to the story line. One would hope that the studio/Boyle would at least pressure the government to put in clean water lines and sewage services, would maybe set up a charity for the community? Set up a farm where crops could be grown? If the movie wasn’t racking in so much dough, this would be less obscene. The discrepancy between our comfortable Western lifestyle and the Hollywood extravagance vs the sorrowful poverty of 3rd World countries hits me so hard and the fact that this movie is being so glorified whilst the poor subjects seem to have been exploited is pretty disgusting.

Irrisponsible!!! This is ridiculous! The fact is that the producers do not want to share the welath like they should. Give ‘em some money AND an apartment! How much could it be? A small amount compared to the film’s success I am sure! Stop being so cheap and stingy! When we, your audience throw money at your film we don’t think it is irrisposible but I am beginning to thing it is irriespisible for me to spend money on a film produced by people who treat others this way. That is irrisposible!
Give those people some money!!!
