Intellect of Society

I have often wondered and discussed with balls on this issue, " Do movies really reflect the intellectual level of the society ? ". The thought was kindled, when I watched this amazing movie called Gajini , which had some concepts borrowed from one of my all time favorite movies, Memento. As the movie ended and I managed to get over with admiring the extremely wonderful effort of the movie director, I was pondering over the same question once again while driving to my department. I have always been amazed by classics like, the Mememnto, Usual suspects.... and some movies as complicated as Mulholand Drive (atleast I bulbed completely over the movie!!), which makes me really think that, such movies, if appreciated by people, shows a clear fact that the society is much more intellectually sound. It simply looks impossible to even think about the future of Indian cinema ever tending towards such classy hollywood efforts, and above that, getting the right accolades from the society. Feels really sad if the type of movies appreciated by people are really the typical mass masala movies, which actually looks quite distressing when looked upon with the correlation between the movies and the intellectual level of the society. Really hope that some of the really talented directors of Indian cinema get the people out of this quagmire all the contemorary movies are getting them into. Well I believe the movie makers should really not think about what people want out of the movies, but convey what they really want the people to think. Before I sogn off!!!

WE ARE!!!!!..... PENN STATE.. really excited about tommorrow's game.. hope we win it
