It is only because our public culture has become defined by empathy, that is where one feels each other's emotions and is unafraid to speak out about them, that a film like Slumdog Millionaire could win so big at the Oscars.
Without an audience willing to ride the wave of passion crested by a foam of intuition and sentiment, the film would be little more than a very long advert for a game show that wilted long ago. Jai Ho!
