Topic： Mumbai: Where dreams can come true
Source: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/01/2 ... index.html
(CNN) -- Mumbai is extreme India. In this booming metropolis all the wealth, inequalities, colors, flavors and passions of India are magnified to an almost unbearable degree.
Somewhere between 13 and 20 million people are squeezed into the city that is India's leading financial and industrial center and the home of the Bollywood movie.
For countless migrants from all over the country, be they business school graduates, aspiring actors or destitute laborers, Mumbai is the place where dreams can come true.
Those who like to think of India as a land of tradition and mystery would be shocked by the way modern Mumbai has embraced western consumerism. In Mumbai the rigidities of India's traditional caste system are being replaced by a kind of brutal meritocracy in which the winners become extraordinarily rich and the losers struggle for survival.
Questions:
1.According to the passage, what kind of city Mumbai should be?
2.What genre or story of the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, can be inferred from the passage?
3.Do you have any indelible impression about a city or country by one well-known or sensational movie or documentary?
4.Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience to think; on the other hand, some movies are designed to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer?
5.Please share one of your favorite movies to everybody.
