The cinema has certainly some clear advantages over other media .It combines primarily .both audio and video
and is thus very appealing o the eyes and the ears .With the development o f colour cinematography,and stereophonic sound ,it is certainly one upon the other media.
The moral values conveyed through the medium of cinema has lasting effect on the audience. The audience also has a moral,emotional involvement in the course of events and the roles of various characters,their languages and styles of speaking do leave an impression on the spectators .
The realization of this fact is,perhaps,,the reason for setting up a censor board which scrutinizes all the scenes that are not likely to corrupt the wells of social morality.But the precaution could not be any significance especially today ,when we are exposed to the idiot box they show all possible vulgarity and mean obscene and even pornographic films indiscriminately to the young and the old alike.
In the changing world scenario,where the exposure to television is growing at an alarming rate,creating in minds of the masses,especially the children, a love for false values and vulgarity, one should admit that influence of cinema is fast diminishing.Nevertheless, its influence on society cannot be altogether ruled out.
Cinema is really very cheap source of entertainment for the common people. Every person can afford it by purchasing a ticket worth a few rupees. It gives mental relaxation to the persons who can have an escape from the worries of their life. We can find all sorts of people in the cinema houses, workers and mechanics, girls and boys, rich and beggars.
Cinema is also an important source of information and education for the people. It can teach about the different parts of the world without physically visiting them. The documentary films also increase our knowledge regarding the latest news and happenings in our country and abroad. We can see the scenes of different cities and countries while sitting in the cinema halls.
The cinema can be a great source of education in a developing country like India. The cinema can teach a lot of things regarding political, social, moral and other problems to the masses. It can also impart knowledge to the students in schools and colleges by showing them educational films. By showing them good films we can build their character and broaden their outlook. The impression created by the films is permanent. Therefore, it is essential that only good and constructive films should be shown to the students.
The cinema can bring about many changes in the society. If social films showing the evils of drinking, dowry and large families are shown to the people, then these evils can be rooted out from our society. Similarly, the evils of caste system and communalism can also be condemned in purposeful films. All such films can go a long way in removing these evils. Cinema can also bring about national integration among the people by stressing the emotional unity among them. Similarly, through the films we can teach the people to be law abiding, to keep our cities clean and how to fight against diseases.But films can also do a lot of harm if cheap films showing violence and sex are made. As it is, most of the films produced by our producers are full of violence, nude scenes, rape scenes and cabaret dances. They have a very bad influence on the young boys and girls especially the students. They mislead the students who want to irritate their favourite heros and heroines.
Films showing theft, robbery, cheating and murders have an adverse influence on the students and the youth of our country. They also acquired bad habits like drinking and gambling. Sometimes they learn the art of crime also from the films.
It is, therefore very essential that our government should adopt a very strict censor policy and should not allow the producers to produce such films as spoil the character of our youth. The films should be cleansed of these bad scenes showing rape, cabaret, drinking and gambling. There is no doubt that if decent and constructive films are produced they can bring about a revolution in our society. The films should also provide a message to our countrymen along with entertainment.
