My arms are metaphorically up over my head to shield myself from the pelting of phff-phff hailstones some readers may fling upon my head, but I must point out that the 2008 Oscar winners for best score, adapted screenplay, direction and film spoke explicitly and in careful detail about how hopefulness and optimism were their primary driving force when writing "Slumdog Millionaire" as well as the explanation for it getting made at all, not to mention finding a distributor who took it off the straight-to-dvd pile and got it so much audience exposure and enthusiasm that it earned 10 Oscar nominations and 8 wins.
