REEL VS REAL HEROES 

In a film a hero sings, dances, fights, and does any job given to him. But are they the real heroes ? I don't think so. The heroes act in the roles given to him by the director. Also, as a matter of fact, the actual singing and fighting are also not done by him. There is a playback singer to sing the songs, and there is a dupe who fights for the hero. But, the overall credit goes to the hero of the film because he is the one we see on screen and admire. It is not bad to have the movie heroes as an inspiration as they also work hard to get recognition in their field of work but, we need to know that they are not the actual heroes who would come and stand up for us in times of need. Just because he is on screen portrayed a particular way he need not necessarily be a very great human being.  Heroes bring about great changes in the societies, punish bad people, reforms the people and protects them, but they do all this behind the cameras, the villains, the people are all fellow actors. 
The people who actually do social works and are  helpful to the people are the real heroes who should be celebrated. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi is a real hero and not the actor who acted as Mahatma Gandhi to show the people what Gandhi has contributed to make India independent.
Acting is just another job, their job is to entertain and by doing so they become famous. Entertainment is supposed to be a very small part in our life and not become are lives itself and those who provide us with the entertainment can be admired but not at the cost of forgetting the real heroes in our lives- parents, teachers, friends and relatives who would be with us for our entire life and not only for the three hours in movies like the reel heroes.

WATCHING CINEMA IMPACT TO CHILDREN

                        WATCHING CINEMA IMPACT TO CHILDREN Watching movies has known to have both positive as well as negative impact on a child’s mind as well on his overall development. Movies with social message or pure fun can be worth watching but movies with too much of violence and mean messages are of no good to children.Recently in a survey that was been conducted on the American children between the age group 4 to 15 years, it was observed that there has been an overwhelming influence of such mentioned medias especially the movies on a child's overall development.

ONE ACT MOVIE This article is going to be about my experience on watching a movie that had all that a movie should have- hero, heroine, villain,story, jokes, emotions, dialogues, but with something really unique, the whole movie had only one person in it! The movie is " Otha Serupu Size 7 ".The entire two hours of the movie had only the actor Partibhan on screen and I could only hear the voices of the other characters ! How unique is that !I seriously did not even imagine such a thing would be possible. How could only one person act an entire movie by himself  ? It was not like a story telling, it was a real movie.  I do not like reading reviews before watching the movie, so I had no idea about the movie before I saw it and I was awestruck on watching  the movie with only one actor.  It was indeed good, there were unexpected twists in the story, a father's love, and witty humor. I must admit I was a little bored on watching him on screen for the whol...
