Question

article on cinema: entertainment and education

Answer 1

Today cinema has become the most popular and the cheapest means of entertainment. It provides great relaxation for the hard working labourers who have no other way of entertainment. For a few hours they escape into a different world altogether and forget their woes and worries.
Besides providing entertainment and amusement, cinema also provides a kind of education. By showing on the silver screen the tales of action, adventure stories, lives of great people, as well as of successful men and women in different walks of life, the cinema gives us a taste of every field of life. Films have the ability to enlighten and enrich our knowledge.

The moral impact of films is also noteworthy. Some good Indian movies emphasize on instilling noble values such as the importance of family ties, steadfastness in love, respect for elders, patriotism; etc. The, movies like, ‘Border’, ‘Lagaan, ‘Bhagat Singh’, etc., have contributed to the growth of national fervour. A movie like Mani Ratnam’s ‘Bombay’ where the Bombay riots of 1991 after the Babri Masjid demolition is re-enacted, depicts very well what man has made of man in this modern world.

Thus, we find that cinema can have a very good  impact in a multicultural country like India. Unfortunately, in India it is the box- office value of a picture which is more important than anything else. Film makers are seen to adhere to cheap entertainment making their movies full of vulgar dances and scenes in order to attract the common people such depictions poison and distracts the minds of the people especially the younger generation.
