dis blog is basically about the influence of movies in our daily lives... though dis has been a widely discussed one, take a look at ur daily life... pretty much ur lyf revolves around one movie r the other...
let us take a look at ur normal day to day lyf...u wake up and do da daily stuff... stand in front of a mirror wondering abt ur hair style.. wich one u shud set and all... shah rukh or salman style... maybe u gotta trim ur beard like kamal haasan(hey im a south indian:)... and get dressed up....dressing... u wanna be impeccable... like a movie star...of course...
u want da bike from a movie... ohh!!! i forgot dat is to impress ur Girlfriend (love crap and blech....) which is another concept i personally feel would also neva have existed had it not been fer movies... think of the following things...the idea of a perfect match fer u ... da love of ur lyf... and duin stupid stunts to impress her and things like walkin in the middle of road with hands raised in the air... thinking about HER... gosh ....how imaginative can u get... any irrational act by a person primarily because of hormonal imbalances is attributed to love... the 4 magic letters that everyone seems to b talkin about...
its not just dese crazy freaks and all... take a hit at the so called geeks too... dey r mostly dreaming about chaotic theory and stuff like dat... hadnt it been fer a movie like butterfly effect and all no one wud have even dared to talk about the chaotic theory... believe me, its way beyond the league of common man...u wudnt wanna see a research paper on dat topic...wud make u mad...
its cos the sense of questioning is lost when we c a movie or maybe even read a book... remember 'five point someone'...u neva questioned the fact about the machine and stuff like dat... wen a guy asks the professor about machines... the prof says machines r made to make man's work easier... dis einstein asks him if de machines in the gym cud also b called machines as dey only increase our work...well dey do... ever tried jogging around the ground??? hmm... maybe u wud have with and ipod and loud music...now was dat from the movie 'the goal' ?????the fact is dat the things the movies show become the trends and the society functions based on dat..dare to think different ??? u wud b branded a social outcast...
lol....now dunt think too much while readin dis......im not being critical and dont say dat it is wrong to do all dese tings... but sometimes almost every action u do has somehow been emotionally influenced by movies...
and to conclude... i quote from the movie matrix revolutions [:)] all dese are merely 'illusions...vagaries of perception...temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence dat is without any meaning or purpose...'
(everyting has got movies mixed in it... so why not my blog's conclusion????)
but den doin all dese tings is what essentially makes us human.....right???
nice post...you're very right about how movies, and not only movies, television actually, influences what we do on a regular basis. It is television that sets and breaks trends...it's ironic, we created television, we created movies, yet television and movies control us... :) Keep writing!
