Andrey- Slumdog Millionaire

When watching Hannah's presentation, I couldn't help but to see the battle between the sacred and profane. I'm sure Hannah mentioned numerous things on the subject. What I noticed was that the main actress was constantly torn between two worlds, one being the sacred and pure life that she would live with the main actor of the movie, the other being the profane and destructive life she has been forced into. The movie uses a lot of symbolism to portray this; from the dark lighting when she is trying to escape her kidnappers to the bright lighting and positive presence of her love. The main actor does not see her as an object for his pleasure, but sees her for who she is truly.
