Thoughts after a Movie

I shouldn't be writing this blog. There are two reasons for, Why I shouldn't be
1. I am strictly against the deadly combination of Mass media and business.
2. I may be promoting "Mass Media" indirectly.

Few things forced me to write.
1. People are not considering movies as a source of entertainment. Sensational movies are impacting people. But I feel, some movies are taken sensationally to impact people for business reasons. I hate this for two reasons.
It will make people immune to the sensational feelings. If you want to take a sensational issue as your story line, take a documentary, investigate on it completely and make them realize. Release it in the internet or even it can be screened in theaters with special permissions. If people are continued to expose this kind of sensational business movies, then those will be no more sensational. For example, Kissing is no more sensational, but it was. Kissing is fine but I can't accept killing. I fear that, people will accept killing as a normal thing soon. You can go and watch an Item movie, at-least you know what you are watching is not true and not good. But this sensational business movies are unacceptable.
Doing business with essential things. Food, cloth and shelter are considered to be the essential things, some 200 years back. But we have added few other to the list. Health, education and the new addition to the list is information. Yes, in this information age, information is an essential thing. These movies are doing business with information. Yeah, information provided by movies are very less, but the amount of impact they make is huge. You will forget the news eventually but not what shown in movies.
2. Movies or moving picture is not a devil that need to be uprooted from the society. They are a powerful way of pushing thoughts to make people think. It need to be used to improve the society. They do play a major role in the creation of ideals. Exposing good characters of people and emphasizing them should be done with movies.

Yesterday I watched is Kamal's latest one. Unnai Pool Oruvan. Yeah, its a great movie to watch. Its a movie to be admired. Well directed. well acted and well positioned. I should appreciate the movie for few things. It throws some light on what happen during riots for those who don't know, neither do I. Many people asked, whether these thing are true. May be false, but even 10 percent of it being true is unimaginable. I really appreciate Kamal's effort.

Yeah, that is a great effort, but many people will put things in their backyard and never care about it. In due course it will conglomerate and will become part of their life. Eventually people start tolerate things that shouldn't be tolerated. If the motto of the film is to make people realize that there is something wrong, then hit hard with a club. Take a film on what happened in Gujarat, Orissa, Srilanka, khairlanji.... At least, these things got media attention, there are tons of other things that we don't know. Hit with a club, don't scratch the skin for a poison injection.

I personally believe that terror will not end terror. If you try terror against terror, you are cutting the branches and not the root. Every terrorist has his own story. If somebody kills your kid, do you sit and meditate. If you are given a gun and a chance to shot the killer, will you throw away the gun. I am sure nobody will. Lets build a hope among people that there is a chance of you growing by making others grow. You can be happy by making others happy. Yeah, you are right, I am talking about Utopia. Lets stop thinking that it as a fictitious world, lets believe it. Do you think, We don't feel the terror. No, I would say we don't listen to the screams.

I need flowers as tribute, not gun shots.

    'குஜராத்ல போய் மோதிப்பாரு' னு வார்த்தையில விளையாடுறதும், 'மிச்சம் ரெண்டு இருக்குல?"னு பேசவைக்கிறதும் எப்படிப்பட்ட முரண் பாரு.. இதுல எத நீ நம்புவ?

    'பம்பாய்ல பாம் போட்டான்னா, சென்னைல இருக்குறவனுக்கு அது news'னு சொல்ல வரது 'தேசியத்துக்காகத்தான்'.. ஒத்துக்கறோம்.. ஆனா, 'kilinochchi falls'னு 'news' போடும்போதே 'priyanka visited sriperumputhur'னு போடறது எந்த விதத்துல நியாயம்னும் தெரியல.. அதுக்காக பாம் போடறது சரின்னு சொல்ல வரல.. அதைக்கேட்டு வேதனையும் கொதிப்பும் இல்லாமலும் இல்ல.. ஆனா இதே வேதனையும் கொதிப்பும் எங்க நடந்தாலும் வரும்.. அல்லது வரணும்.. தேசியம்னு ஒன்னு நீர்த்துப் போய் தான் இருக்கு.. இதுக்குக் காரணம் நம்மளோட திராவிடம்/தமிழ் சார்ந்த பற்றா இருக்கலாம்.. இதுவுமே கட்டமைக்கப் பட்டதுதான்.. வெளில வரது சுலபம்தான்.. என்ன, நம்ம வெளில வந்தா திரு modi மாதிரி ஆட்கள் உள்ள வருவானுங்க.. அதான்யா கொடுமை.. :(
