The Cinema

Modern age is the age of Science. It has given birth to cinema. Cinema has become an important part of modern life. Everyone likes to enjoy a picture. The cinema hall has the thickest rush. Cinema is a combination of so many artists. The story writer writes the story. The singer sings the songs. The musician gives .the music. The actors and actresses play their role. The director gives direction. The photographer shoots the film.

Cinema inside televison or outside television is still a major source of entertainment of the modern world. Both its constructive and destructive values cannot be under-rated.

Cinema is one of the most powerful mass media today. From the poorest to the richest people are fond of seeing the cinema. Late night.-shows are full of-poor labourers, rickshaw-pullers, tongawallas, coollies and other daily wage earners who have no time during other shows.

Matinee shows are patronized by the students who find Cinema hall a more interesting and less boring place than classrooms in schools and colleges. They just steal away from studies and their-parents are completely ignorant about the whereabouts of their children.

Cinema has the power to condition the mind of the viewer and brainwash him and get his behaviour modified. If the films are produced with educative purpose with noble ideals, these can be very fruitful for the uplift of the younger generation. But the truth is that decent films are very rare.

Cinema is generally considered to be an entertainment but it has of late, become the media of converging political and social ideas. Cinema has its brighter and darker side also. Now most of the films are made to play to the passions of the lowest kind and Hollywood has become leader of the film world throughout the world. Most of the films deal with sex, crime and violence. These films are now responsible for increasing number of thefts, murders and rapes and crimes in the world. They have corrupted the mind of younger .generations.

Most of the modern films lay stress on easy and dizzy life rather than values of hard work, honesty and public welfare. Film goers only learn how to beat, and cheat, rob and fob, wine and dine. This has become routine in the modern business, education and politics.

The western culture has gradually dominated our music and dance in the films. It has engulfed our national culture. Time honoured values are set aside. Cinema is thus ruining the younger generation and will prove a disaster for future generations undermining the moral fabric of the society.

There is nothing wrong with cinema as a popular media of public values. It can be put to good purpose or evil activities-. It is a sharp knife for surgery as well as murder. Today, unfortunately, cinema is being used for murdering the minds and morals of humanity.

Unless the film-goers come forward and boycott bad films and even stage dharnas against them, film industry will not improve. Film-goers should forma Film Improvement Trust and insist on the production of quality films and lead demonstrations against shady productions. Let us pursue for ray of hope on the gloomy cinematographic horizon. Thus we have seen the bright & dark sides of cinema.
