As an IT employee, I lead life in a fast lane.My favorite pass time during weekends is watching movies. I either visit a theater with my friends or watch movies at the comfort of my home. I have realized from my years of movie watching experience that cinema is nothing but the reflection of society.Today's movies reflect the same society that I live in. Yes, a society where people lead life in a hurry just like me.They don't live life to the fullest. Whereas, in late 80's and early 90's, people should have lead a relaxed yet active life. The movies thoroughly capture the essence of the lifestyle of people lived in that period . How movies of late 80's and early 90's are different from present days' movies? There was more attention to the details , the movies were quite far from the reality(it depicted the ideal self), the songs, fight, location and props created a kind of utopia.It gratified the dreams of the audience.In other words, those days audience lived their dreams through the movies.
In contrast, the present day audience would like to see themselves in the movies. They would like to see the real-self, not the ideal self. They dismiss ideas that are far from reality. But the late 80's and 90's movies portray a kind of dream-like world in a detailed manner with a little use of technology.Moreover, those days' movies were much creative than the present days. Even today, I buy DVDs of 80's and 90's movies.Just like those days audience, I gratify my wishful dream to live a peaceful life by watching those movies. It is needless to say that I don't merely fancy the movies of 80's and 90 's but actually adore the peaceful lifestyle of the people lived in that period.
