Blind worshipping of Thamizh cinema rasigan

[jaiganes]

Thamizh cinema has reached such a stage that independant films are not being made - actors with fan following virtually hold the creativity, artistic expression of the entire thamizh film world to a siege. So much so that only masala film and pseudo movies of the stars stand any chance of even getting released. Most of the portals and magazines have been publishing watered down generally appreciative reviews fearing the onslaught of 'paasakkara pullaigal'. Is this trend healthy? Is this the trend that a rich literature treasure cove like Thamizh nadu should accept for the rich and limitless art form like cinema?

I guess there are TWO TYPES OF BLIND WORSHIPPING FANS

Don't have an opinion on this really, I guess the people have their way irrespective whatever we opine.

But one interesting thing to note in this very hub, Cinema ( tamil and world ) illaina hubla 90% of the active threads would be defunct. That definitely catches my eye. I am really curious about where and what kind of threads in the hub would all that unspent energy would channel into.

Love and Light.

I started a similar thread years ago...i really don't mind hero worship keeping in mind 4 things:

1) you do not turn into bickering, petty children about heroes who frankly don't know who you are...or care!

2) it does not endanger the lives of the actors or fellow fans

3) you are not overstepping the boundaries of your own dignity/self respect in your fan worship..

4) you keep an open mind!!! What/who you like is not going to be liked by everyone else!

This is a mirage - an illusion.
cinema illaina?
arasiyal illaina?

Once upon a time people couldn't think
Gandhi illaina
Nehru illaina
Kamarajar illaina

we just move on.
What amazes me is if we hand over a supreme piece of art and ask some one to look at it 4 times for appreciating it - deathly silence.

As long as you are just a fan/ admirer of an actor/actress or whoever then it's okay. A fanatic or complete worshiper is ridiculous. Who are they to us? It just amazes me as to how someone can be so crazy over someone who doesn't even know this person or care about them.

The fannaticism is reaching religious fervour: paalaabishEgam for cut-outs!!! Utter shame! Odious and ridiculous! Least said best about the 'warfare' going on here between rival fan groups! The content of present day cinema & the rubbish churned out in TV is simply deplorable!!! Story, script, scenes, songs- treacherously dangerously misleading, misguiding youth to dissipation and decadence at an age when they should be gearing up for great, creative activities. What an aura around such harmful personalities!!! An endless lament it is!

then, how are we worshipping god whom most has ever seen??? reminds me of sathyaraj's statement once - "if u can build temples for unseen gods, why not build a temple for a khushboo who can be pretty much seen" .......

do u see air, electro magnetic waves?? how do mobile phones, satellites work then??? its all "nambikkai" - belief..........ivalavu edhukku, can u see ur soul??? why do u believe in urself then???? ur non-existent right bcos u cant see ur soul.........

there is no wrong in worshipping.....basic problem is education...........an educated fan like me/hubbers will restrict it whereas illiterate people take it too far.........even in european countries and america, we have people getting fanatical and mad.......its just that most are educated and control themselves at some point........

i see GOD in someones' music - i dont think i'm wrong.......i see GOD in his qualities........Lord Ram wont come with "villu" and "ambu" today....only vijay will come with villu........for me, my ram comes with keyboards and songs......
