Danny Boyle Says His Film “Slumdog Millionaire” Is ‘Cultural Appropriation’ That Couldn’t Be Made Today


Danny Boyle has admitted he doesn’t think he could make his film Slumdog Millionaire today.

In 2008, Danny directed one of his most popular movies, in which a teenager raised in a Mumbai slum wins the top prize on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, answering the questions based on knowledge he acquired over the course of his life.

At the time, Slumdog Millionaire received near-unanimous praise, winning both Best Director and Best Picture at the Oscars, although it proved more divisive among Indian communities, with some critics suggesting filmmakers from India have not received the same reception for similar works.

In a new interview with The Guardian to promote his new film 28 Years Later, Danny admitted: “We wouldn’t be able to make that now. And that’s how it should be.

“It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world.”
