Are Films only for sheer entertainment? I believe that there is a concealed layer in films which give us so much more than entertainment.
Lights Camera Action!!!!!
When we think about a film, these words are the first to pop up along with actors acting in beautiful places, getting awards, earning money, making records on how much the film earned etc. Films always share something which is hidden and most people ignore them. There is a hidden layer in them.
Most people go to watch a film just for entertainment. To escape from their sorrows, to see something which they always desired , just having fun or getting to know more about that topic through a film. Films are of different genres as the makers know that different people like different things.
Current Trends
Now a days the makers produce people centric films as they want to earn profit. Films are slowly becoming a business but there are some people who love to showcase there own ideas. Some films give a good social message and also there is a parallel cinema focusing entirely on creative ideas which is not yet showcased but generally people like entertaining light films. The viewer buys the ticket and views the film. He enjoys it sometimes, sometimes not and goes home after getting entertained. Makers put in a lot of effort like technology, costumes, sets, shoots in different places etc. And expect good profits/outcomes. Afterwards, actors get a lot of money and awards and so on. But there is a facet of this which we completely forget.
Why are films made? Is it only for sheer entertainment or does it teach us something ?
I believe that films give an overview on how to live life. Various genres of films show us that how one's choice affects oneself. They show us how to make decisions. They make us aware of our surroundings and make us feel proud of ourselves. They give us hope and also methods through which we can start afresh. Even the animated films which people think are childish give a message which is immense. Films tell us about about responsibilities, choices, sorrow, strength, consequences and the reason to live happily and peacefully, enjoying each and every moment .
So I believe that though films are entertainment but they also give us many more things. We only need the power to see it and seize it !!!
