Films reflecting dimensions of real life experiences lacking in current presentations
Chief Minister V.S.Achuthanandan has rightly observed films should reflect lives and then only there would be progress in the industry.
Malayalam films these days are apparently violence-prone, in the sense even the goody-goody super hero indulges in feats of violence one way or other transcending human frailties. These lack sensibility in the real sense.
I heard a comment by Sathyan Anthikad on television that a super hero’s films started receiving less public acclaim only because his characters had turned super human.
Films are telecast every day, most of whom are projecting super human heroes, that is ordinary heroes accomplishing impossible feats.
It would appear real if they don roles of superman, batman and the like because people expect super human feats from such characters.
Even the ageing actors who have talents in the most accomplished realms have a lot to contribute in a realistic way. Either they are taking up roles of characters transcending reality or they are being conferred with such roles by others to suit their convenience. That way the audience are the loosers, for these actors have the talent to act in other realistic roles fitting their age and experience but such contributions are lacking.
If the present state of affairs continues , there would be disadvantages all around, to the film buffs, the industry and the actors themselves.
