Evaluation of Marxism

        Evaluation



In my essay I agree with the theorist Nasreen Munni Kabir, I do believe that the business class system should not be used anymore as it against human rights being segregated in to three business class systems, especially if you are business class C. You are living in the slums with nothing to your name. Everyone should be given the same rights. The other points I am going talk about the messages of films and a comparison of the three different films with the way they portray marxism. The films I am going to talk about are Slumdog Millionaire, The Boss, De Dana Dan, Bittoo Boss. I will be concluding my points I have made in my essay.

The theorist Nasreen Munni Kabir said that India is put in to a business class system A to C. A being a class that are the cites, B are slightly smaller towns and C centres are villages and rural areas. An Indian director Karan Johan stated that women in a village is a wife, a women is a mother a women is a sister, but a women as a friend? No way. When I was thinking of a film concept I decided to go for a women trying to have a boyfriend but her father not agreeing with this. So the girl was trying to lie about having friends. She instead was sneaking around to see a boy. I also made sure that the story line wasn't hard to understand as in India the C class haven't been educated in films. I thought as well a great way to show the class system was to make the clothing a big part of the film as well, so you will see a smart dressed lady, the man is in jeans. So trying to show the class system can be shown in more ways than just words.

The films that used the business class system to there advantage was the three films I picked, Slum dog Millionaire, The Boss, De Dana Dan and the Bittoo Boss. These all used the system to create there films. Slum dog millionaire is a western version uses the class system thought out the film. It is a completely different way of the class system, the boss film shoes a man becoming known in India as a Transport king. Then you look at De Dana Dan, where a man is used for slavery, which this changes the stereotype of slavery. It is generally men that are in charge and they boss the servants about and the servants generally tend to women. This films changes everything with the women being in charge and wealthy, as women are generally not taken seriously in businesses. In the film Bittoo Boss, where the man is in a low class system falls in love with a young educated women who tries to mend him and help him along with his business. Her father on the other hand isn't happy that the man wouldn't be able to provide for his daughter so is totally against the idea.

When I compare all of these films together they all use the class system, going deeper in to the comparison between Western Bollywood films and actual Bollywood made films Marxism is shown a lot more in Bollywood made films. They show the way that the people of a lower class are treated in Indian. Slumdog millionaire shows what living in the slums is like, but they don't not show how the people are treated when they are trying to get a better life. In actual Bollywood films you can actually see the different between the classes, especially by the clothing.another big difference between the two types of films is that the Bollywood made films have a lot more singing in them they communicate with the audience a lot more. They can send messages about love and hate though the use of singing and dancing.

In conclusion of my points, the Bollywood made films, The boss Da Dana Dan and Bittoo boss and many more have the best way of showing Marxism to the audience. They use not just great actors but they use cars, clothing and the settings of the films show the different class systems. The sound that they use is very strong, and creates a statement to the film. You will find that the colours of an actual Bollywood film are a lot stronger, more vibrant. This has always been an Indian trade of having bright colours. Mainly the Bollywood films have strong meaning to them making the audience think about the class system in Bollywood.
