I really like this video as an example of the similarity that exists now between India and America in their love of the movie industry and their favorite actors and actresses. The scene in the movie when Jamal Malik is trapped in the porta-potty and has to crawl though 'filth' to get to see his hero who is a famous movie star. I had heard about Bollywood and some of the movies coming out of there but I didn't understand how close India's movie industry is to America's. Obviously Bollywood's movies aren't as well made as the ones in the U.S. but that's only because they are still new to movie making. The movies and trailers I've seen all look like movies from past decades. Some of the people in the video like the little boy who says he loves his favorite actor helped me understand the kind of admiration Jamal had for his hero in the movie. It reminded me most about the admiration that Amir had for John Wayne in the Kite Runner. We're not so different in that we are all captivated by heroic figures in the movies.
