always using physical violence in a certain group. Most of the minority groups are discriminated. They get the physical violences from the majority
ones. They realize that people who come from upper class usually have an authority. This problem attracts attention from the society and certainly the
literary critics to analyze the problem and share their ideas in the literary woks not only in the literary works, but also in the movie.
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that there is a struggle of social classes in the society. It also describes one of the
characteristics of discrimination in the society. One of the movies that reflects the discrimination in the society is Slumdog Millionaire which is
directed by Danny Boyle and adapted of the novel Q A 2005 written by Indian author and diplomat, Vikas Swarup. It tells about the experience of a
poor man who gets better live by win a lottery. In line with the explanation, I am interested in taking Slumdog
Millionaire as an object to analyze. In this research, I would like to analyze the impacts of social problems in this movie.
