Cinema – The True Reflector of Society

They are, in effect, optimists, who know that cinemas are the true reflectors of society. Since its inception, cinemas act as mirrors and simulate incidents that happen in society. Movie theaters not only provide recreation and entertainment, but also create awareness, education and captivate millions of people across the country on the hidden aspects of society and social perspectives.

“A cinema represents humanism, tolerance, reason, progress, the adventures of ideas and the search for community truth and reflects social aspects”. The world’s first film presented on screen called “La sortie des quvriers de l’usine Lumiere” is a true reflection of a true story that happened in Paris and was directed by Lumiere Bros. Cinema in the world has remained a myth, despite the fact that it reflects society, there came a stage in which filmmakers overcame the barrier by taking the trouble to bring cinema stories closer to society. “Movie theaters in a community are like windows looking out onto the broader, richer, deeper things in life.”

Like all Eastern societies, Indian society has also been nourished by social facts of mythology. Excerpts from mythology closely related to events in society provide enough opportunities for the audience to exercise their originality, imagination and fantasy.

Great pioneering personalities like Jamshadji Madan also took certain historical facts of the society while making cinemas that already had an audience. The “Second World War” a great movie with excellent momentum began to stand out as a genre, particularly in culture, heritage of the society of the time. Every community in the world has its own peculiar social traditions, denoting a psychological makeup, social concepts and social behaviors that are captured and explored by cinemas around the world. Many theaters use great political personalities from the past to increase their momentum. “Alluri Sita Rama Raju”, a film by super star Krishna which has been released in more than 100 countries with different languages, provides a propitious personality who sacrificed his life for independence reflects the Indian social scene. The relevance of the thoughts of many great scholars today is being realized through the world of cinema reflecting ancient and modern social facts. “Cinema must alternate between revolution and consolidation, it is the function of society to supply this dynamic element”. Cinema like “Titanic”, which has its record in shipwreck, is also a social and accidental phenomenon. The least expensive movie in the world called “The Shattered Illusion” is also a natural phenomenon of society that includes spectacular scenes of a ship overwhelmed by a storm that took place practically near the Victorian Islands. Bollywood cinema like “Mangal Pandae”, Ameerkhan as a hero reflects the social, cultural, spiritual and communal aspects of Hindu mythology before India’s independence.

The only reason behind the success of “Gadar” and “Lagaan” was the element of patriotism. Society people supported Ameerkhan and Sunny Deol in their patriotic roles and heaped praise on both films. The degree of integration of coherence and inner strength is closely linked to cinema. Consistency in a cinema refers to the unity of the theme. The cinema is one of the significant factors, which generates, promotes and visualizes a softer national sentiment, it is based on the resistance of the national society. Movie theaters can speed up the economy, increasing efficiency and promoting well-being in modern society. A socioculture, whether diverse or homogeneous, is the product of many interrelated facts, which can be reflected through cinema. “A cinema cannot progress if it limits itself to imitating entertainment; what builds a success is the creative, inventive and vital activity of society”. Tollywood movies like “Annamayya” reflect the life story of the great prolific Telugu writer named Annamayya, a disciple of “Lord Venkateswara”, the latest movie “Sri Ramadasu” also reflects the true social and cultural aspects of “Kancharla Gopanna”, popularly known as “Bhakta Ramadasu”. Many movies in Tollywood are drawn from true stories that happened in society. The best quote, saying “Padamati Sandhya Ragam”, a Telugu film that takes place in America, offers true and real social, cultural and economic aspects of the Hindu people. Another recent movie “Premistha” is based on a true and real love story and offers a lucid vision of two lovers prevailing in society. These movies include the natural social aspects, such as the behavior of students in colleges, the enjoyment of students in colleges.

In Tollywood, which also in the latest trend we cannot expect a cinema without a university atmosphere, here too the cinema reflects the social aspects. The respect that Indians show towards customs, traditions and culture are truly reflected in many cinemas. Traditions and culture are truly reflected in many cinemas like “Dheerga Sumangalibava”. Generally, when one comes across Telugu cinemas, they first remember the feelings, the attachments that actually exist and are practiced in the society. The cinema “Mayuri”, a true reflection of a great dancer of the Indian society who loses her leg in an accident, using an artificial leg from jaipur strives to excel in the field of dance and finally reaches her destination, reflects the indian community trust. “Thought is greater than armies, thoughts are mightier than fighting men, their beginnings are weak but their effect is powerful. These thoughts are molded and sculpted through theaters to match the thoughts and expectations of the spectators”. The tremendous and fundamental fact of cinemas is the essential integration, the acting of the actors. Social unity throughout the centuries. A cinema is one that sincerely wants to spread knowledge and wisdom.

The youth of India are the heirs apparent to this vast and diverse nation who are guided and educated through film. The interests and qualities of individuals in social functions are reflected through the cinema. We must praise the cinemas that are on the right track. As the media landscape in India has undergone dramatic changes since independence, it resulted in highly effective and efficient creation of cinemas. Cinemas act as entertainment in the electronic age. Happiness is an inner state of cinema, the beauty of a cinema comes from grace and simplicity.

Great reformers, pioneers, painfully realized the deep-seated social problems, ills of Indian society and made them disappear to some extent through film education. Cinemas act as the shield of Achilles in the protection of individual and social interests. The social values, cultural aspects of true and spiritual India are exposed through the success stories of “Monsoon Wedding” and “Gandhi” and are highlighted and emphasized in many films. Global avenues have been opened to explore society through film. “The goal of cinematic progress must be a marriage between ancient Indian thought and modern observation-based scientific endeavor in search of social truth.”

One of the main characteristics of the cinema of the new era is the abundance of its production. The modern age has witnessed a phenomenal increase in movie theaters as they are very close to the society. The main motive behind the creation of a film is to allow society the social facts. Movies with highly technology-oriented sci-fi movies also represent the future society. Movies like “Extraterrestrials”, Spiel Berg’s “Independence Day” show a fascinating futuristic society before the public. The latest technological developments, mechanical and electronic devices are also reflected and used in the creation of creative films such as “Die Another Day”, “Mission Impossible II” and “The Stealth”, etc., although most of the released films have fallen like nine skittles at the box office Film directors dare to create films that are closely related to society.

The changes in the world from inner and outer boundaries, from society to spirituality, from wear and tear, from the dazzling realm of nature to the microscopic galaxy of science, from rich to poor, from belly dancing to pealing of bells, which is not the most extraordinary thing.

In an extraordinary society that is reflected through cinemas in exciting, entertaining and enlightening ways using modern high technology, gadgets and wonderful scripts, we can expect even more social aspects to be reflected in cinemas around the world. It needs vital creative input to meet the demands of the audience as well as the paintings for years to come. The success of these films will further increase value-based education, qualitative knowledge and quantitative development throughout the global society.
