Hideous shadow in Bangla movies
Like literature, movies usually convey the traditional, historical, cultural and religious aspects of particular country. From this point of view, there is no doubt to say that Bangla movies are the reflection of our life and us. But is it really true with the current trend of Bangla movies? A dreadful shadow is covering the previous glory of Bangla movies. An odd truth is, a class of audience have left the cinema hall, they become interested in Indian and western movies. But is it their guilt? I think not so, because when our movies are incapable to bear any message of the life and culture the people may have to borrow entertainment from foreign culture. But who and what are culpable for this disgraceful condition? I think a group of evil and greedy filmmakers and inactive authority are responsible for this disdain of Bangla movies. Instead of our cultural identity the movies are the expression of vulgarity. I cannot imagine when other countries are spreading their culture, tradition and literature through the movies, at the same time our filmmakers seem busy to defame our culture and literature. In such a condition, my only request to each member of the authority is that if they have a single bit of nationalism in their heart then please seek to recover the previous glory of Bangla movies. Recently some good movies produced by different private channels and young film makers have proved our ability.
