The Effects of Classic American Films on Bollywood
Classic American Films were what set the standard for what cinema should be. This was in the days before computer special effects and excessive violence as these Classic Films displayed that great films did not need any form of controversy to become classics. Instead Classic American Cinema placed the standard at being good acting, good story telling and good directing were what made a film a classic. It was not how much violence or special effects a movie could contain, it was how well the film entertained movie goers in general.
If Bollywood film makers wish to create films as memorable and classic as the films of Classic American Cinema, then perhaps these Bollywood film makers should emulate the tactics used by the classic films of Hollywood. No excessive carnage or any form of controversial materials and more emphasis on story telling and directing. The latter is what made cinema superb in its Golden Age, not how much violence a movie could contain. I say its time for Hollywood to return to its roots of what made films great in the first place and for Bollywood to emulate the tactics of Golden Age Hollywood Films: Emphasis on storytelling and directing.
