For my eighth blog post, which is about Bollywood, I chose to talk about the movie Bride and Prejudice since we just saw it in class. People automatically think that if a movie is based on Indian culture that it is a Bollywood film. That's wrong. Since Bride and Prejudice isn't technically Bollywood, I will just focus on those elements of it. The movie does indeed take place in India. We see a more modernized, wealthy part of the country. The next aspect is that there are Indian songs and dances. The music is probably what really separates Bollywood from Hollywood. In traditional Indian films, there are plenty of dance scenes. These really keep the film exciting and up-beat. The last aspect of Bollywood is the wide variety of emotions that are involved. You start out with curious, then happy, then sad, then anxious, and you never know what to expect. Since watching Bride and Prejudice without knowing much about Bollywood, I learned that it the movies the business produces are actually pretty good.
