Cinema - The True Reflector Of Society

They are indeed optimists, who know that cinemas are the true reflectors of society. From the origin, cinemas act as the mirrors & simulate incidents that happen in society. Cinemas give not only recreation, entertainment but also create awareness, education and enthrall millions of people across the nation about the hidden aspects of the society & social prospect."A cinema stands for humanism, tolerance, for reason, for progress, for adventures of ideas and for the search of communal truth and reflects social aspects."

The earliest film of the world presented on-screen named "La sortie des quartiers de l'usine Lumiere" is a true reflector of a factual story that happened in Paris which was directed by Lumiere Bros. The cinema in the world has remained a myth, in spite of the fact of reflecting the society, a stage came to filmmakers overcome the barrier by taking the trouble to match cinema stories close to society. "Cinemas in a community are like windows which look out on broader, richer & deeper things of life."

As all oriental societies, Indian society too has been nourished on societal facts from mythology. Extracts from mythology closely related to happenings of society provide enough opportunities for the audience to exercise their originality, imagination & fantasy.

Great pioneer personalities such as Jamshadji Madan also took certain historical facts of society while making cinemas that had already an audience. "World War II" a great movie with excellent momentum started to emerge as a genre particularly on the subject's culture, the heritage of the society of those times.

Every community of the world has got its own peculiar social traditions, which denote psychological makeup, social concepts and made of social behavior that are captured and explored by cinemas throughout the world. Many cinemas use past great political personalities for raising their momentum. "Alluri Sita Rama Raju" a film by superstar Krishna was made to release in more than 100 countries with different languages gives a conducive personality who sacrificed his life in achieving independence reflects the Indian societal scene.

The relevance of many great scholastic people's thoughts today is coming true through the world of cinema that reflects ancient & modern societal facts. "Cinema must alternate between revolution and consolidation; it is the function of society to supply this dynamic element." The cinema such as "Titanic" which has its record in the wreckage of ship is also a social & accidental phenomenon.

World's least expensive film named "The shattered illusion" is also a natural phenomenon of the society that includes spectacular scenes of a ship being overwhelmed by a storm that took place near Victoria islands practically. Bollywood cinema such as "Mangal Panda", Ameerkhan as hero reflects the social, cultural, spiritual, communal aspects of Hindu mythology before Indian Independence.

The sole reason behind the success of "Gadar" and "Lagaan" was the element of patriotism. People of society supported Ameerkhan and Sunny Deol in their patriotic roles and showered encomium on both the movies. The degree of integration of inner coherence and strength is closely bonded with cinemas.

Coherence in a cinema refers to the unity of theme. Cinema is one of the significant factors, that generates, promotes and visualizes smoother national feelings, is based on national societal endurance. Cinemas can accelerate the economy, increase efficiency and promotion of welfare in modern society. A socio-culture, whether diverse or homogeneous, is a product of many interrelated facts, which can be reflected using cinema.

"A cinema cannot progress if it merely imitates entertainment; what builds a success is a creative, inventive and vital activity of society." Tollywood movies such as "Annamayya" reflects the life history of great Telugu prolific writer named Annamayya who is a disciple of "Lord Venkateswara", the latest movie "Sri Ramadasu" also mirrors the true social and cultural aspects of "Kancharla Gopanna" popularly known as "Bhakta Ramadasu."

Many films in Tollywood are extracted from the real stories that happened in society. The best quote, saying "Padamati Sandhya Ragam" a Telugu film which takes place in America, gives a true & actual societal, cultural, economical aspects of Hindu people. Another recent film "Premistha" is based on a true and real love story that gives a lucid view of two lovers that prevails in society. These films include the natural social aspects such as student's behavior in colleges, enjoyment by students in colleges.

In Tollywood, that too in the latest trends we cannot expect a cinema without a college environment, here also cinema reflects the societal aspects. The respect that the Indians show towards customs traditions and culture are truly reflected in many cinemas' traditions & culture are truly reflected in many cinemas such as "Dheerga Sumangalibava." Generally, when one comes across the Telugu cinemas they first reminisce the sentiments, attachments that truly exist and practice in society.

The cinema "Mayuri" a true reflection of a great dancer of Indian society who loses her leg in an accident, using an artificial Jaipur leg she strives to excel in the field of dance and finally reaches her destination - reflects Indian communal confidence. "Thought is greater than armies, thoughts are more powerful than fighting men, their beginnings are feeble but their effect is mighty. These thoughts are shaped & sculptured through cinemas to reach the thoughts & expectations of onlookers." The tremendous and fundamental fact of cinemas is essential integration, actors' performance. Social unity throughout the ages. A cinema is one which earnestly desires to spread knowledge & wisdom.

Happiness is an inner state of cinema, the beauty of a cinema comes from grace and simplicity.

Great reformers, pioneers painfully realized the deep-rooted social problems, evils of Indian society and made them disappear through cinema education to a certain extent. Cinemas act as the shield of Achilles in protecting the individual and societal interests. The social values, the cultural aspects of true and spiritual India are exposed through the success stories of "Monsoon Wedding" and "Gandhi" are highlighted and emphasized in many movies. Global avenues have been opened to explore society through cinema. "The aim of cinematic progress should be a marriage between ancient Indian thoughts and modern scientific endeavor based on observation in search of societal truth."

One of the leading characteristics of the cinema of the new era is the abundance of its output. The modern age has witnessed a phenomenal rise in cinemas as they are very near to the society. The main motive behind the creation of a movie is to enable society to societal facts. Movies with highly technology-oriented sci-fi movies also depict the future society.
