Answer» Cinema is an extension of our lives. It takes us into a world where we forget ourselves for a couple of hours. I surely agree that cinema both entertains and educates us. The basic purpose for which the silent black and white “Harishchandra” or the first talkie “Alam Ara” was created in India was to provide a new source of entertainment to the people. As the cinematic reels begin to unfold before us, the masses in large numbers, we relax, let loose our problems mid quietly gaze at the unfolding of a story before us. The movies make us experience those pleasures which we may never ever have a chance to favour in real life. In this manner “reel life is quite different from real life.” We climb Mount Everest, we dive into the deep seas admiring the under-water flora and fauna, we go back into history and meet great people from the past, we even step into the future with the help of various scientific inventions, and feel the pulse of the times. If this is not education then what is? Cinema takes us to exotic locations all over the world. We visit remote areas of Mexico and Chile, we go for a jungle Safari in the game-reserves of Africa, we gaze with wonder at the mammoth pyramids of Egypt, we peep into the lives of the tribals. All this is much more interesting than going through thick encyclopaedias. This definitely adds to our general knowledge. Cinema as an entertainer has a very wide appeal. The movies made in Bollywood are shown not only all across our country but all over the world. The entertainment tax collected by the cinema is in crores. The song and dance sequences, the sale of music cassettes and C.D.s all go to prove how popular film music is. It surely entertains both the rich and the poor alike. When a person is mentally and physically tired, he looks forward to a good entertaining movie at the end of the weekend. People not only see a good movie once, but go there several times to see it. Why do they go there repeatedly? Obviously to get entertainment. Thus there is no doubt that movies both educate and entertain. |
