Hollywood & Bollywood . . .

Family values from the film “KKKG”

In this film, family is the main aspect. All other things are circling around this Indian family. That’s why we can see Indian or Asian values; like being family oriented in all situations, listen to family members, respect elders etc.

Importance of Songs in Masala Films of Bollywood

Songs in Hindi Masala films are like the souls for them. They take a big part of the full length film & tell very important part of film’s story in their own way. Some times they are edited in a film just to add some interesting facts in viewers mind about the film or the film story. Some times they take place to introduce some new twists in film’s plot. They got music, dance, colorful dresses, eye catching sides etc to entertain viewers. They rest the viewer’s eyes by showing them some pleasant moments & make them stay on their sit as their films are long in length.

Difference between Hollywood & Bollywood films

There are big differences between Hollywood & Bollywood films & their conventions. They some times use same kind of plot, theme, film techniques or iconography for their films; but not every time or in frequent. In Hollywood, they use many different plots & themes but in Bollywood when a plot hits; they try to make different film out of that same plot & theme. Even Hollywood film studios are full of high-tech equipment but Bollywood is not like that. But now days, it is starting to use new techniques in their film but not at Hollywood’s height.

Feminism

There were three waves in the history of feminism. They first was from nineteenth to early twentieth, second one was in the mid twentieth from 1960s to 1970s & the third one is running till now from late twentieth (1990s). In the last wave it became global issue.

Feminism concerned with women’s right in every area where women are involve. It is to make sure the equal rights of women in every sector with men.

But feminism is not running alone; racism, homophobia, classism & colonization also there & they are affecting the thought of feminism.

In Bangladesh females are not getting any advantage of feminism in any way; because we don’t have many feminist in our country. Girls are in treated as the same way before.
