“There is gold and jade on the outside, but there is ruin on the inside.” Why does Bollywood, the star-making factory in India, trigger such comments?

Problems such as India's environment, safety, and quality have been reported by the media. The relevant places on the surface promote democracy and freedom, but in fact they are something else. However, in this environment, Bollywood movies have been developing very well and have a position that cannot be underestimated in the film industry. Therefore, Bollywood is called "gold and jade outside, but failure inside". Explore its The reasons are summarized as follows:

01: Social class polarization is serious.

BBC once commented: If you want to gain a foothold in the Indian film industry, you must either be rich or powerful. This is why the faces in Indian movies are always those few people. They make a lot of money in the film industry and control India's economic trends. Moreover, they still have class discrimination. Even if you are a top star in Bollywood, they will discriminate against you. For example: Bollywood star Kangana has won the Indian National Award twice, but she has never been able to integrate into the Indian entertainment industry. Based on these two points, indirectly This has led to serious class polarization in Indian society.

02: High requirements for appearance.

India is very strict about the appearance of celebrities. The appearance of celebrities needs to be stunning, otherwise there will be no film resources. In order to survive, many Indian celebrities can only choose to modify their faces, especially when their appearance fades in recent years. It is even more important to use medical technology to keep your appearance the same. Therefore, even if Indian stars are really capable and talented, without favorable appearance conditions, it will be difficult for them to get ahead in the real entertainment industry.

03: The seriousness of male dominance.

A Bollywood actor said: Bollywood has inherited the patriarchal ideology of Indian society and has a patriarchal mentality that inherently exploits women. ?Bollywood is discriminatory against women, and this comes from the patriarchal view of Indian society. For example, in the film "Toilet Heroes", it can be seen that women have a low status and patriarchal ideas are very serious. However, India’s patriarchal outlook is the result of class divisions, and this status quo has been inherited in India. It may still take a long way to change.
