I think that the editing used in this film was great. The transition between the past and the present is used really good. An example of this is when he is being interviewed by the police and then they play the video of him playing who wants to be a millionare, they zoom into the T.V. and it goes into the past, then from there they use a smooth transition to going further into the past to see how he figured out the question. All th flashback techniques use in the movie were really good because they were used to answer all the questions that were being asked to Jamal. In the last question Jamal wanted to call a friend even though he knew the answer, which is discontinuity editing because he was calling his brother, but it showed how his brother had a different path from him and had died, as for him he became popular for winning the game show.
