If you’ve been residing in a forest for your whole life and have no idea what Hollywood is, it’s still not acceptable. Considering Hollywood’s popularity, it isn’t surprising to know that it’s the biggest film industry of the world. But what’s so unique in it? What is the reason behind its fame? Let’s discuss.
Professionalism:
One of the biggest qualities of Hollywood movies which distinguish it from any other industry is professionalism. Every scene, from the beginning to the end, is depicted so professionally that one can hardly come up with a flaw. The movies make, it hard for us to believe that it’s fictional.
Graphics:
Undoubtedly, Hollywood comes up with the best graphics, Since they appoint expert team members who make everything look real. Avengers, Planet of the Apes, Gravity, Jurassic Park and Avtar are some movies where you can see the wonderful job done by the graphics team with amazing graphics and effects.
Stick to one concept:
In contrast to other film industries, Hollywood movies remain glued to the real concept from the beginning to the end, instead of going away from the track. For instance, if the story is based on music, everything in the movie (concept, story, songs and script) is related to only music.
Subject variety:
You won’t find Hollywood movies having similar subject easily. Every movie carries a different story, concept and moral. However, in other industries, the movie has the same concept just with a little variation and a different title. As a result, the movie becomes uninteresting to watch and really boring.
Sound effects:
You can’t give the tag of a Hollywood movie if it does not carry a intriguing background music. What’s a movie without sound effect anyway? To enhance the impact of a scene, perfect sound effects are added in the movie. Whether the movie has based on action, horror or drama, the sound effects are use very wisely.
Large audience:
Since this movie are released all around the world, they have a large fan following from every corner of the world. However, other film industries release their movies in their own country and in 2 or 3 other countries. Another reason associated with it is that, English spoken widely and people can understand it very well. Not only in their country, Hollywood studios are also investing in foreign companies and films.
Bollywood's industry one of the primary reasons behind the growth of our economy. Our entertainment industry has ruled by Bollywood. The stars and their movies not just entertain Indian people but are hugely popular even on the foreign land.
Well, we all often hear that Hollywood movies are way better than Bollywood but somehow as an Indian, we feel that there are certain reasons that prove the otherwise. There are reasons why Bollywood is better than Hollywood, at-least in certain aspects.
1. Bollywood has the emotional quotient high in their movies than Hollywood movies which prefer a more straightforward approach.
Our Bollywood movies definitely have more emotional drama and connect than any other Hollywood movies. The romantic bond or family ties, the way Bollywood touches heart we are pretty sure Hollywood movies cannot.
2. Bollywood's movies offer us soulful songs, dance in the movies while Hollywood hardly has any of it.
The Bollywood dance numbers and songs are our every day best friends. Be it party or shaadi, without the Bollywood songs our celebrations are incomplete. Similarly, in movies, our entertainment is hugely dependent on the good songs and dance. Hrithik’s moves and Arijit’s songs are like the soul of any Bollywood movie.
3. Bollywood has a larger audience, there’s something for everyone while Hollywood’s audience is quite a niche comparatively:
We have an audience who appreciates content backed movies and even the ones that are pretty brainless. If we have movies like Newton, we even have movies like Judwaa 2. Our audience can appreciate and watch different kinds of cinema. All movies have their kind of audience unlike Hollywood where they have to live up to the intellectual expectations of their movie goers. We cannot expect movies like Judwaa 2, Dilwale or Golmaal being a hit in the foreign country.
4. Simple stories, great characters, and highly relatable subjects in Bollywood movies while Hollywood focusses more on technical aspects and editing of the movie.
Our stories are simple with a very basic backdrop. We don’t have too much of sci-fi or technology involved. Be it Piku, Rani or Geet, our characters are real, one of us. They take the story ahead. In Hollywood, the script, the editing and the elements in the movie plays an important role.
5. Bollywood's movies are more appealing and preferable to watch it with family:
We can easily watch the Bollywood movies without the fear of hiding your face when an awkward scene comes up. In any Hollywood movies, baring skin or kissing is a usual thing. In our culture, we obviously find a little awkward watching such scenes in front of our elders. However, with Bollywood movies, we can easily enjoy watching movies with the family. Obviously, there are some exceptions in Bollywood too.
Our Bollywood movies are vibrant and involve depictions of many cultures. We show cultural exchange in our movies which no other industry can boast about. From races to religion to languages, our movies represent our culture and ethics in the right light. For instance Namaste London, Ram Leela, Lagaan, and many such movies.
7. Dialogues that remain with us forever, that are highly dramatic:
How many dialogues can one remember from any Hollywood movie? Well, the answer lies there itself. Hollywood's movies are more of conversation but in Bollywood movie, we have the ‘star’ dialogues that remain the highlight, that becomes one’s motivation, one’s favorite dialogue to be used in any real-life situation.
Well, the comparison between Bollywood and Hollywood is highly debatable but the arguments are always put against Bollywood. We lack technical and production quality which is still not equivalent to Hollywood, but slowly we are getting there. We should appreciate our cinema more often. We tried, do let us know if you guys agree with us or not.
