Dream high

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2019)

The structure of the three acts in this film is broken because the development of the story does not go in a chronological order.
History suggests that dramatic time happens while Jamal is in the television contest Who wants to be a millionaire? answering a series of questions that leads him to be a celebrity because nobody had reached a streak like the one he was wearing. The reality is that the story happens while Jamal is being interrogated by the police, to find out if he was a scammer, while he begins to tell the cops how he knew the answers to the questions, the film puts us in his mind , using the flashback resource to access the information he saw while responding. This resource begins to build the character from back to front. It also makes us automatically be on the side of the character and take as a statement everything we see on the screen, because we are in their memories. Knowing his personal history as well as knowing how the uneducated could answer the answers to the questions of the show.
The story challenges the structure of the three acts because it is told almost from the end, when Jamal is about to win the top prize of television, and is using the future to tell us how it was that the character came to this in that situation.
