Bollywood

I read an article on at http://www.bollywoodworld.com/whatisbollywood/ and it was about Bollywood. This article was very interesting to me because it described the dancing in the Bollywood films. It says, " It's fun and very expressive and there's a lot of deep meaning behind music in the films. You can actually express what the music means, through the graceful movements of the body" I thought this was interesting because when we watched Bride and Prejudice in class, I didn't think the dances had any meaning at all and that it was just for fun, but now if I watched it again, I would have payed more attention to the movements. I also read a section where it described why dancing in Bollywood films is importants. It says, " Choreographers are now starting to take the industry by storm because Farah Khan – a famous choreographer recently directed her first movie called Main Hoon Na. This goes to show that people want to see elaborate and funky dance sequences, they don't want pure acting, hence dancing is a crucial" and it shows that Bollywood films are differnent from american movies because are movies don't always have dancing unless you watch musicals but in Bollywood films you'll find it a lot. This article was fun to read because not only do you get a new visual on other countries film making, but it has meaning and depth to it too.
