Its going to be a short post about how every blog, status update and tweet these days is (or actually was, just that I'm a month too late) about how Cocktail was sexist. What I want to ask people is why they thought that Cocktail was supposed to be inspirational/ idealistic/ just etc? Its not like the movie was set in the real world or anything, because lets face it, no Indian girl is dumb enough to go to the UK without an address of her alleged husband.. or in no world does a hot Asian top level corporate boss hire employees after listening to cliched, laughed upon pick up lines.
Just because one of the reviews shed light on how Cocktail was sexist/ chauvinistic/ cliched, everyone now has the same opinion. I didn't think that Cocktail was a masterpiece, or even tolerable for that matter, but when I went inside the movie theatre, I didn't expect to see a movie with a social message. I went to see a brainless movie with some decent music and .. Deepika Padukone.
Social media has become the face of mob mentality. People have stopped using their brains. All they do is post long, elaborate, heavy worded status updates on Facebook that have nothing new to say; just the same old crap that you've probably already read a million times on other websites. Old wine in a new bottle.
Sigh.
