Lately in some of the serials, towards the end, it is advertised that if you have opinion, you could send it to such a such address. Maybe we could try that. Sorry, it is written in tamil and I don't know how to read. 😳
i have never noticed it caryn...
To be frank Roja, I frankly hate the way women are potrayed and demeaned in all the serials, except if I may say so in Anandham. The worst is Kasturi followed by Kolangal and Anjali. Hence, I don't watch Kasturi at all whilst Kolangal and Anjali I watch if I am bored. I always tell my mum off for watching Kasturi.
But in reality, this abuse does take place in our society, be it in Asia or be it in the West. There are women who are afraid to come out of the closet for fear and also pride. It is not easy to admit that she has been abused. Be she be an educated lady or not.
that is very true....but then instead of portraying what has happened and then moving on life...the heroines in the tamil serials seem to be accepting all the nauseating treatment meted out to them as if it their "lot" in life!!!
Hence, my suggestion is, since lot of people emaluate their favourite stars or movie, we can ask the director to give a solution to each abuse. For e.g. where to go if there is an abuse. What to do if there is an abuse? Things like that. End of the day, it is a solution we need to look into. If we ask the directors to put a stop to all this, it doesn't mean that in real life abuses like this will stop.
i agree with the fact if the director puts and end to this, the abuse will stop. and i also agree with you that the directors should make the woman in the serial seek a solution and find a victory in it. she cannot keep weeping over it and accept defeat or scream "why me"...i find that awful too...when they say why me...it is almost as if..it is okay if it was someone else....😡😡😡
so if the directors show abuse they should show a positive solution for that too...and not after 400 more episodes!!!!
In Anjali, I glimpsed a part where Ashok made that B@$t@#D (sorry guys), but I still feel sick watching the assistant to slap Anjali. I almost puked about that. Seriously. I took my papers and walked away. But by walking away, does not mean that will be solved. Suddenly showing Anjali is obedient daughter who is keeping her mum's word and get herself into this mess is a no no.
Then they should not show the abuse for a long period of time. i.e. like 10 mins. Should cut short.
10 minutes is too long a time caryn...after that they keep showing it again and again in the flash back scenes as well....and it goes on for months!!!
Having children holding gun - does happen in US. Don't be surprised if this happens in India/Malaysia soon. Again there should be some kind of message appear on t.v.
a message on tv may not help much. but like you suggested earlier, if the director when showing a problem also shows how the person sorts it out and as early as possible, and bring the criminal to book...maybe that will project a more positive outlook for the younsters who draw their ideas from these serials!!!
I remember seeing in a movie/serial, the guys were drinking and a message came out - drinking is bad for you. I want other directors to follow Cheyar Ravi's example when he gave messages across in Anandham. Don't slap your wife no matter how angry you are, stop the car if you want to speak on the phone, respect other people's privacy, etc.
i agree with you whole heartedly here....
I don't about you guys, but this is my thoughts.
and absolutely admirable thoughts they are caryn!!👏👏
