Two Noteworthy Films
In 1902, the first motion picture
film which had a scenario was produced by Georges Melies and the name of it is
“Le Voyage dans la Lune.” This film is the first but not the last one. After
it, numerous films were produced, they are still being produced nowadays and
they will be made in the future, too. Furthermore, among these several films,
some of them could take almost all of the peoples’ attention in the world and
some of them could not. The ones which caught interest and which were
appreciated were able to win many awards or Oscars. For example, Slumdog
Millionaire and A Separation are two of them which are successful in cinema
sector. So, let us compare and contrast these two noteworthy films as a purpose
of this essay.
The
first remarkable similarity between Slumdog Millionaire and A Separation is the
type of them. In both of the films, there are scenes related to drama. For
instance, in a part of the film, Jamal who plays the leading role in Slumdog
Millionaire remembers the days when he was kidnapped by some villains. Also,
there is a couple who is about to divorce and has a child in “A Separation”. It
can be seen in this film that how the members of a family can separate from
each other. Another similarity between them is the situations which have the
possibility of being met with in real life. Let me give an example for it, too.
In Slumdog Millionaire, Jamal joins in a quiz show and in the other film, the
couple wants to break up as I said before. So, these circumstances can happen.
What is more, being accused of the leading actors is the last similarity. In
the former film, Jamal is accused since he is thought that he is getting
information while competing in quiz show. But the real situation is different,
he answers the questions by remembering his childhood and he is not doing
anything wrong. When it is looked at the latter film, Nader who plays one of
the leading roles is blamed because of killing a baby who has not born yet. But
the reality is different in here, too.
Now,
I am going to state the differences between Slumdog Millionaire and A
Separation. To begin with, filming location is the major difference between
these two films. Slumdog Millionaire was filmed in India but A Separation was
filmed in Iran. The second difference is the language. As it can be understood
from the countries, the language in Slumdog Millionaire is English. However,
Persian is used as a language in the film, A Separation. Moreover, while the
films are starting, it can be seen that the blurbs of them are written in
English and Persian. Having different endings is the final difference that I am
going to mention. To illustrate, the former one has an ending which has both
happiness and clarity. I mean, Jamal gains the money from the quiz show and he
is with his lover, too. However, the latter has not only sorrowful but also uncertain
ending. In other words, it is an open-ended film. There is an indefinite
situation of the child’s decision about choosing his mother or his father to
stay with.
To
sum up, besides lots of similarities in terms of having dramatic scenes, having
the possibility of facing with the same occasions in real life and being blamed
of the leading actors, there are also differences between the films “Slumdog
Millionaire” and “A Separation” in relation to the filming location, the
language that is not only spoken but also written and having different endings
with different impressions. In my opinion, Slumdog Millionaire is quite better
than A Separation. Since, I did not get bored even a second from the beginning
to the end of the film when I watched it.
