Feb 27, 2011. The much awaited Oscars are to crown the makers of movies, who stole the hearts of millions. Celebs from every language, country and genere arrive at the Red Carpet with anticipation of winning the highest ever possibe award. But the question is, are the awards given to deserving films? Has the current, so-called modernization changed the way film should be? Let's take a journey through " THE ROAD TO THE OSCARS".
A few decades ago, films had an entirely different role to play. The youth those days were inspired and groomed by the films. The movies were more about the story than about the people playing the roles. It was more about what they listen from a movie than about what they hear. When asked people of that generation, their first response about the films would be the remarkable place occupied in millions' hearts. Trust me, songs did not decide the box office of any movie.
But these days, one cannot even guess the height a movie would reach. A movie with a never-in-the-world plot may be a super-doper hit while one with an appreciable theme may not even reach a house-full for 3 consecutive shows. The fans are not to be blamed and neither are the critics. The trend these days have changed so much that people prefer "MUNNI" and "SHEILA KI JHAVAANI" than anything between moderate and decent. These days even the movie critics hane change of opinion. A movie graded GOOD by one critic would be invariably graded somewhere from BAD to WORSE. These situations cause stunning impact on the financial value of the movie irrespective of its genre.
Ofcourse I'll never deny that movies are supposed to a machine for time travel. But I personally feel that maybe, once a while, there would be atleast one movie that can make my goose flesh rise! With this hope, I wish GOOD LUCK for the deserving nominees to win the OSCARS!
