movies and thoughts

Finally I start, After a long research process this is my first ever blog...

I have been critically analyzing the history of cinema to increase my knowledge and understanding of this vast subject. During Christmas I was in India where I conducted a sort of survey in order to get into the minds of the people who go to movie theaters. What I understood from here was that people going to cinemas are not there to watch movies. Interestingly they are there because it is a place where some thing is going on and a group of individuals are there doing something or the other. For people, cinemas in India are equivalent to what temples were in ancient India. Movie stars are treated like gods and goddesses. A movie would be a definite hit if Mr. X or Mr. Y has a lead role. After a person walks out from a movie theater their recaction to the movie would be no longer than 10 words. For instance "what a beautiful film" or "the director didn't put in enough effort" or "pathetic!" or "waste of money" and so on and so forth. People are busy texting their mates about how good/bad the movie is when they are actually sitting and watching. They are not interested on what is happening and how things are rolling in the movie till the time a celebrity star shows up. Once he/she is there people are busy whistling and shouting or talking about how good or bad the actor/actress looks. With such results I have managed to find a very few Indian directors who are good at what they do. Most of them are well trained not well educated. All in all it was a weird and astonishing study.

Strangely I also noticed that movie theaters in India are a thousand times better than the ones in London, starting from the seats to the ambiance,everything, even the pop corns but I still wonder why???
