-Intellectual Capacity-

Pertinence and Entertainment--->Movies(General)

I must be seriously lacking some sense to come up with a pompous statement- That movies are not a tool of entertainment. For God's sake, it would be the biggest mistake that i've commited, by saying such. The reason this post is written by me is to castigate some truths(or myths) that is woven within the scope of movies.

It is a well-known fact that a production of a movie is supposedly serve as a vehicle of entertainment, for the fact that we also know that entertainment may come in many other means which shan't be disclosed here. At the merge of technological advancement, the possiblities that underlays here somewhat seems to be non-existent, to me, at least.I would not never deny the fact that a good entertainment is a medium between hecticness and pure bliss. However, entertainment without the emphasis on realism is never my ala forte. It is not a hypothetical statement for me to say that movies today are just being mass-manufactured, despite the lack of essential dose of realism,for what many may seem to agree that it is never an important element in a movie.

The concept of realism is a very broad term,hence it would always remain as a mere concept. Realism, is the best ingredient that a good movie director should always include make the effort work.Just like foods, prepared with relentless effort to appeal our tongue,failure to include salt,even though, a very little portion, it is pretty much tasteless. Therefore,realism in movies, is indeed a tool of perfection to bridge realms of reality and fantasy .

I did not merely write this post to come up with my favourite list of good movies. To do that, it would simply create a slight scent of biasness, no matter how much i'd try to justify my stand.Let's take a peek on the qualities of a good movie.Besides, immaculate realism that doesn't overly go aboard, another integral part would be the ability of the movie to convey a message effectively, though the issue may deal with subtleness.Forrest Gump,for example was fine testamony that served as a great tickle to men who are intellectuality superior, in a humorous manner. It also makes it clear that hedonistic pursuits wouldn't mean that much, if you don't live for the sake of pride.Ego, after all, has driven men into his own ruins for centuries.The director's ability to remain sincere was of course another added bonus. Now, tell me- what do you go for movies which doesn't make you think? My conviction would be that-Entertainment should also make you ponder.Call me eccentric. I don't care because i know that my intentions are pure. (The image for example, is to relate that racism should be blind and the urge to adopt the fraternity bond. ) We watch and hence we talk about the appeal of the movie, which in most cases deals with "obnoxiousness" or maybe it's just that we are being "lil" bit euphoric here.

The idea, should be always to have a thought on how a movie connects to our soul. Always generate some ideas. Who knows, it might well be your tool to liberate your soul ( as opposed to the malaysia-nised concept that movies help to ease yourself. Heck, what has stress have to do here???). We never stop thinking, do we???
