'The Avengers' Indian Slum Scenes Draw Criticism from Indians

Indians absolutely love Westerners. Too bad they don't return the favour... whenever any big-budget Western movie comes out, it always depicts India in the same way that Danny Boyle did with the "Slum millionaire" film.

Then the Indians turn around, and boast to the Chinese/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis, that the Westerners love Indians the most.

All I have to say is you an an idiot to make such false claims. In India people can voice their opinion and there are 1200 million of us so you will hear all kinds of opinions, but don't forget Slumdog was a big success in India. And who showed Indian poverty more effectively than Satyajit Ray, the greatest indian filmmaker and our hero??? He was also criticised by some but he was also a great success and worshipped to this day.

And Indians claiming about love from foreigners, what a moronic claim, we don't chest thump abt ummah and brotherhood and other mind control drugs peddled by your governments, Indians are remarkebly sober about international relations than a sloganeering jihadi or an internet chini bot would ever be, imagine how many movies you dumdums ban and how many India does, then bark.

And the scene in avengers actually shows a taliban style open truck with gunmen in a kolkatta slum, that made me chuckle, if anyone India should be angry with Pakistan.
 
Sorry to say but, Instead of being angry, India should be ashamed and actually do something to get rid of the slums......so that in future there won't be any reason to get angry.....

Sorry to say you would be right if India had banned the movie, but its a big hit. People expressing opinions is normal and expected in a democratic country like India.

Agree fully with getting rid of slums though.

The stereotype mentality is already set in the west, and it is pretty much hard to change. They consider any middle eastern guy as a potential terrorist. They look at Asians as somewhat of a cheap labor force and look down on us, thinking we are stealing their jobs. Secondly if you are muslim its even worse, because I have some muslim friends in college and people say a lot of bad things behind their back. We can do all we want but the west just has the mentality that they are superior to others.
 
anyone has seen black hawk down,,,,,,,,the pakistan army comes at the end after the battle and humbly providing the american soldiers water :cheesy:and actually a pakistani officer was mad that the americans did not acknowledge PAs contribution during the battle in the movie............

If there were no slums.....they counldn't have shown any right????
We're giving them reasons to stereotype us......

I know things will take time to change......but we should have the right approach....we should accept reality and work towards it instead of getting angry at first then forgetting about the slums altogether until the next Hollywood movie comes out depicting Indian slums....
 
It was not your argument, your dishonest claim on which you based the argument. That indeed was retarded. don't take that personally.

I know chinese men (not women) hate westerners, but that would be a retarded fact to base all kinds comments on china on.

I never said "ALL", did I? :lol:

In fact, from the tone of my post it was quite clear that I was basing it off personal experience. Are you telling me that you know my personal experience even better than I do?

And what do you call it when a non-white nation like India, has a white European waitress as their highest leader? I'm sure there are plenty of non-white waitresses in India who are more qualified, but obviously they are not qualified in the "right" area.
 
Sorry, slums are the ony reason India is popular in Hollywood. It's the truth. You guys are so ungrateful. If you want a beter reputation, get rid of the slums. Btw, I saw that scene... Hahahah... :lol:

Sorry for bursting your bubble. Shooting of Angelina Jolie (Based on journalist Pearl's killing in Pakistan) Mighty Hart took place in India. Because Hollywood stars and film unit thought that filming the scenes in Pakistan is too risky to their lives. So the shooting happened in Pune. There were no slum scenes.

Shw was elected by Indian people. In democracy there is thing named voting. Its our choice and we made it on our own. By seeing your trauma its evident that you dont know ABCD of democracy. My sympathies.

Pakistan army rescued american soldiers in Battle of Mogadishu.

While the movie was showing that americans did it by their own, that is why pakistanis were complaining about it now what's wrong in it?

Nehru (ex PM), Indira (ex PM), Sanjay, Rajiv (ex PM), Sonia, Rahul, Priyanka ... to be continued.

You are indeed making retarded claims as always, ask your supervisor for quality checks as now you are peddling that sonia's skin color is the basis of Gandhi family's - one of the most famous and powerful dynastic political families in modern world history - fame and power.

What a tool!

Don't say it openly. Other Chinese member will blame you that you seek compliments from US white man.
 
Avengers is a movie for teenagers and kids.
It's all about a mindset.As if they wanna say, "as old as India".A hollywoodish approach.:tdown:

BTW, "Why so serious....?"

Mate even the west had slums, and in some parts they still do, just come to Detroit and see the rotting city. but you will rarely see the ugly sides of US cities, simply because they don't want to show it. It hurts their ego, and they don't want to show the weak side, they show the weak side of other countries to make things look better in the US.
