Pakistan Cinema has Revived with New Aspirations and Visions!

New Face of Pakistan Cinema

Though it is common culture out here that people tend to criticize most of things whether those are in human capacity or beyond any control. Here a very positive change in Pakistan has been arrived with a better law and order situation. The revival of artistic activities and especially the arrival of new cult of cinema with educated and broader spectrum of people. Here you can see people from advertising agencies, and the ones who have actually taken film making degrees from abroad are all set to define new Cinema for Pakistan.

It is all good and positive and will create a marketing niche for Films of Pakistan in near future. But it is time to think over the fact as if we are having or trying to develop our own stamped face of cinema. If we are making a huge investments in movies, post production, music and rest of digital technology then we need to know where we are heading for. If it is the typical spicy movie track that is imported from Bollywood then it is not a wise deal.

Having a very distinctive identity and moral and cultural values. It is the basic right of people of Pakistan to watch films that depict their lives. A social drama that is driven around their lives in one way or other. I agree with that age old notion that cinema is a “Dream Machine”. But now the world is changing and we see that all countries who have a good craft of cinema have the distinctive qualities. You can see the sci-fi thriller and propaganda movies of Hollywood. Then a very close to life movies from China and Iran that pull millions of cinemagoers all around the globe.

It seems a ridiculous effort to catch and grab the audience attention with the same kinds of no plot movies with bulk of songs and “Item Numbers with Vulgar Dances”. A concept and theory imported from neighbouring India. Yeah! They are good at that and have developed a certain face in the whole world. Movie lovers watch the Bollywood and Tollywood movies for same kind of spice, thriller and charming music that most popular heroines perform.

Here it is a time for our movie makers to study the world cinema deeply and see how French movies are different in every aspect from Italian and Spanish films. All have a class and they have same genre to cater the audiences. You see the Pakistan television drama has always been distinctive and recognized world over, and especially in India for great stories, subliminal lesson oriented stories with real lives and the great directorial masterpieces.

If we can do that for Pakistani drama then I think it is time to say yes to great productions like “Waar” only two years back and big NO to films like Wrong Number, Karachi Se Lahore and rest of the same class and cult. It is not a time when filmmakers can have a lame excuse that public wants this and that. They have to develop their taste, and remember that “Waar” was quite a unique film for Pakistani audiences. Our film industry already collapsed due to formula films that went for decades, and now we do not want to see “Jawaani Phir Nahin Aani” with just glamour, gloss and bulk of theatrical humor and dance numbers. Stay tuned!!

Having a Sensitive Heart is a Curse in Modern Times!!

Sensitive Heart and Motivation You might be amazed at a little strange title of my blog but I am convinced of what I have written. Let me tell you some simple reasons to think like it. Modern World is full of gadgets and changing technologies, and at the same time the luxury oriented LIFE asks us to fight a hard battle to be Prosperous and to reach at a certain Social Stature in a shortest possible way! It is really good and motivational way of thinking in a way but it has started to overcome human emotions and feelings for others. We are too busy in striving for better jobs, being at top positions, owning the best houses and cars, and to find peace in parties and vacations. But the biggest thing that we are forgetting is the distance that is automatically being created among the Human Beings! We are not ready and at most of times even able to spend quality and quantity of time with our immediate family members. We are losing an instinctive love bonding of a parent-child...

Why Freud was So Obsessed with Only Theory for Psychological Disorders!!

Freud and Psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud was definitely a father of science of Psychology in so many way. He introduced the concept of Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Therapy . He maintained the need of continuous Counseling Session as a necessity for the well-being of people suffering from different mental ailments. His influence and contribution for the Subject of Psychology can never be lowered down. Though it is also a reality that Freud was too much of a man who tried to give attention and awareness to people that MIND has its own Miseries! But here I would like to share my outward analysis as I am humble student of Philosophy and Psychology as well. I am not convinced with Freud’s association of all human Mind’s Problems with Sex Drive! Nobody in the world can deny the strong influence of "Sex Drive" and it is really one of the Strongest “Basic Instinct”. But it is not according to the theory of Freud that all feeling and drive that can make anyone crazy...

Society Asks or Forms Our Personality Traits?

Social Pressures and Human Emotions I always wonder about the effects of social and cultural norms and traditions on human personality, behavior and the formation of personal or group’s principles. Yes! I have seen that people are subject to be influenced by the environment , and all kinds of social pressure and determinations forms great parts of our personalities. I have seen the variations in different cultures and social environments as a must part! The most prominent thing happens in our childhood when our real pillars of personality traits are put in order. Here if we are asked to do something that we do not like or in a vice versa situation to perform something out of a social obligation. It is something really very interesting study that we all are enforcing an unseen pressures on others without even knowing about it. We all are Social Animals and we are making the hardest kinds of decisions for others, without even understanding these by ourselves. We follow the ...
