What is the role of women in movies? Why in most of the movies are girls always portrayed as the "sex symbol." Most of the movies I watch, whether it be Hollywood or Bollywood ( from India) I never see the real point of girls in many movies. Most of the time, they are just there for sexy scenes or a romantic hint to the movie, which when shown in advertisements just increases the number of people who go to watch the movie.
As we were discussing in class I brought the point about Mission Impossible 2. The main lead girl in the movie, according to me was completely useless in the movie. It could very well have been a guy who went in to the villans camp to spy on him and worked for the agency. However, instead they used a girl who basically just had sex with both the Tom Cruise and the bad guy.
Bollywood movies always used to be very orthodox and not many kissing scenes or sex scenes were seen. But now mostly all movies have kissing scenes, and girls who used to wear saris ( the regional dress of India ) wear bikinis, shorts skirts and cleavage showing tops. A lot of the times, girls just come for a video music in a movie, dance on poles (literally) in front of bad guys and the movie is a hit. I find it really sad that Indian movies are losing touch with their cultures. I really enjoyed watching old movies when our culture was so evident on all the movies and love was when the boy used to go to the girls parents house to propose for marriage.
