Comparative Culture, Tuesday, Period One
The projector screen was back at the front of the room again today.
"Good morning," Bond greeted the class. "Now previously we've looked at films from cultures from a common background, albeit quite some time back, that despite their differences they share more elements than not. Today we're going to be looking slightly further afield, by looking at Indian cinema, more specifically an offering from the section of the industry known as Bollywood, which is to say Hindi language films whose production base is in Mumbai. It is an an incredibly prolific industry, making films aimed at a broad audience, which makes it useful to compare against Hollywood blockbusters, which seek a similarly braod audience. For example today's film shares a genre with Hollywood's high octane heist films, yet also has a number of differences due to the conventions particular to the industry."
