My latest today.Do check out...
So guys hope you all have read the first edition of the post and I guess for that reason or for other reasons you are back. Well, actually my intentions were not of maligning the film industry or any particular profession but it is natural to all the film industries and that we have a proverb in Bengali, that te darkness dwells beneath the lamp. So here it is. I had, in the last post mentioned the stuffs that goes around and the actress issue (if you haven't read it...READ IT) So today am going to discuss how it happens and the other stuffs that happens because of it...
The objectification of women, largely now a days that is, due to the so called item songs; brought to us by the top most actresses who are supposedly the beacon of hope for thousands of girls across the country. Lyrics like'Tandoori murgi hu yaar, Katka le saiyaa alcohol se' is not only derogatory, but pathetic and in the mean time hypothetical too. For one they objectify girls as a material for lust not love. And the girls are following their idols, nevertheless. Again, it is the utter serendipity, or confusion between relish or realise. There are movies where you realise the power of hope, power of joy, freedom and inner-self and then there are movies where you go to relish the actresses and scenes and rip out your ticket money from the duration of the film. It's just sad. Films could be such an enlightenment.
And this days so many crimes are occurring in the broad daylight against women. Now people will tell that its sexist to say that films are causing this accidents but the focus of male attention shifts towards a cheesy line only when it is shown in the films. Most of the time, nowadays its everyday in Kolkata, someone or the other biker gangs 'so called' are teasing women in the middle of the road and in the middle of the day. And the pick up lines are the cheesy and smelly lines of the movie dialogues they must have heard last night and thought it packs quite a punch. it is just pathetic that police are helpless against them and they roam free. Not just this instance but overall the perspective of men towards women are changing and not for good. And don't tell me films don't have a large say in this. Such a overwhelming and influencing medium to reach people and such careless acts put up for money. I mean in which way is a scene, where a model almost skimpily dressed soaking the attention and guffaws of men and drenching in alcohol; is going to keep modesty of girls and help keep a men sober. And then easy alcohol coupled with political power and civilization is lost from the streets of Kolkata. Not just Kolkata but the whole world is no different a stage for this drama.
Yet we keep gazing at the shine of the silver screen and look up to it. Want to be a part of it. what do you say Guys, does this really deserve a silence or should we say something. Your choice. your life.
Hope I put enough substance to make this series a viable read. Look up for more..You can comment on my Google+account or email me at indra765@gmail.com.
Happy Reading.
P.S.Come back for more. Tomorrow I am going to gibe a review of a brilliant film I watched at the theaters to today. Just awesome movie. Stay tuned.
