Debate of the Day: Reel or Real?

Aaj kal ke shows, real nahi, reel zyaada hain. Meaning they are far from reality, what they portray is 90% fake, yet we still want to be like them, or be in a similar environment. We think that if a woman in TV or Movie can afford expensive clothes, have expensive jewelry, they are high class, we can too, and we have to act and dress like them as well. (hey it won't hurt being Bipasha (for John) for a day )

</? ????????????????? ????????p??????????????????????????j???????>

Are we making mistake by comparing ourselves to the reel world, and their lifestyles?

The Movies, dramas, and music videos are portraying more of a western religion, but not showing as much as eastern. We are becoming westernized, day by day. Is it because its necessary to look and act westernized to fit in? Although we shouldn't forget people watch movies and dramas as a form of entertainment, we should also not forget we are from the real world.

Recently, a man tried to do a stunt from Krrish, he was fascinated by it, but forgot, its humanely impossible, and while doing so, he almost lost his life. Are we forgetting that this is just a form of entertainment? Most people don't survive after doing plastic surgery, how is a character supposed to have 3 of them?! We go beyond the real. Can we assume after an accident, you are going to look like some Sushmita Sen or Aishwarya Rai?!! I really don't think so!

 We see smoking, and close scenes between the characters, and directors always say "these are realistic characters", are we actually like those "realistic characters?" Are they portraying us the correct way, is our generation shown correctly?

 I just came back from vacation, and I loved the kurti and skirt, Kituu used to wear before, and I just went crazy looking for it. Maybe it might look good on her, but would it really look good on me, or I'm thinking it would because I liked it on her.

There was this girl, who couldn't watch KkavyAnjali, because her brother kept on hogging the TV and she got fed up, and eventually committed suicide. Just cause she couldn't watch a show.. My point is, Is the entertainment industry affecting us and our thinking too much? Do you think we take too much into our heads after watching a form of entertainment?
