Respect Love

Watched "Cocktail" first day first show with two of my girlfriends. The movie has no wildly explicit scenes. There was a scene where Deepika is close to Saif. They are just showing the cheeks next to each other and she is mouthing some dialogues. There is a silence in the scene and one expects Saif to buckle in and start making love. No such thing happens and in that way that was the only surprise element in the whole film. Rest was predictable as ever. When this emotional scene was on, I heard a man yawn loudly. A large part of the audience burst into giggles. Once more a little physical moment was shown and this man yawns loudly and the entire crowd giggles. One cannot hear what was said on screen and the moment is lost. When there is a rape scene or gory violence being shown in the films, no one makes any noise. there is pin drop silence in the theaters at that time. Forget a love making scene , even if there is a kiss, the audience giggles or yawns loudly or passes a comment. What is it with us Indians? Why are we so uncomfortable with love scenes in our movies? Watching violence and item numbers is okay for you and your family together. Watching an onscreen kiss is blasphemy.

I remember another film where the parents were asking their children to close their eyes as the scene is scary whereas it was an onscreen smooch. I just feel we have to learn to respect the film, the scene and the actors. Also learn to respect the love scenes. Remember most of us are born out of love. If from now you want to tell your child that this is inappropriate, then please tell him the same about violence and all those gyrating numbers.Teach your child to respect women. Teach your child that love is beautiful. I have seen parents bragging about the number of girlfriends their son has. Teach that son to love and respect his women. Here the child learns a lot from his father.If he sees the father respect women in the family, the child,especially the son, will imbibe it well.Everyone loves their children. It would be nice if we as parents can also be objective about them. Don't make them righteous but teach him what is right through your own example. Mothers, please remove your colored Prada glares when it comes to your children. In short, teach your child to respect Love.
