I did that last week, and some bastards immediately downvoted my baby picture. Never again! If you want to see my face, you'll have to pretend to like me on twitter like everybody else.

I'm pretty sure that isn't what I said. What I will say is that you cannot expect filmmakers to completely ignore the prevailing market costs and just throw their investors' money around to alleviate some sort of social guilt. I'll also say that your proposed solution of refusing to hire local actors is completely self-defeating.
Once the film became a hit, the producers acted to ensure that the children received some benefit from that. Of course, you already know that.

It was a long-shot hit. Danny Boyle is a fine director, but he has a spotty success record, and this was an untested genre.
My point regarding Indian pay scales was meant to illustrate that absolute numbers can be deceiving in international settings, but also to demonstrate that it's foolish to suggest that the money was not a substantial potential boost to their quality of life. It would probably be more appropriate to compare their salaries with those of first time film actors in India, but I just don't have that information. Comparing them to Dakota fanning is just silly. Keep in mind that Fanning made the union minimum before she became a star,and that was in an entirely different marketplace.

I feel like I could watch this for eternity, and still not fully understand it. It's beautiful all the same though.
