摘要：2008年上映的《贫民窟的百万富翁》这部电影是根据印度作家及外交官维卡斯•史瓦卢普的作品《Q&A》所改编，由英国导演丹尼•博伊尔所执导拍摄。于2009年《贫民窟的百万富翁》得到奥斯卡金像奖十项提名，并荣获了8个奖项，成为2008年电影界的大赢家。
关于该电影的阐释，不少学者做出了卓有成效的探索，但这些研究多从语言特点和拍摄技巧方面着眼于解读电影的主题和成功之处等，宿命论是影片《贫民窟的百万富翁》创作思想的一个重要方面，作品中关于人物命运的描写对此表现得尤为突出。该如何正确理解影片中渗透的宗教思想，残酷的宿命与黑暗的现实，这是值得我们深思的问题。
本论文主要论述这一宿命论思想的形成原因，并对其在这部影片创作中的人物设定和情节安排中的必然性、偶然性以及创造性进行了分析，其表达的并不是一种纯粹的宿命论思想，而是借宿命论来达到社会批判的目的，通过主人公的苦难经历对社会呐喊，引起世人对人性的思考以及美国梦的讽刺。
