TRANQUILITY IN MOTION_PARALLEL MOVIE GENRE...!!!!!

By Athira Elssa Johnson -



An Insight into the style of SILENT WATER an apt parallel movie..!!!
An enchanting form of story compilation,an ecstatic realism attached ,...makes this pace of parallel cinema hub reach the pinnacle of success.....And so was the hype made by the movie silent waters on the same regard..A story shedding light on the pakistani culture of an olden era starring a middle aged women as the protagonist.

 Its more than a movie when it comes to its educative nature...its been a study material to any media student by its tones,nature of characters,portrayal of the location and time lapses of the place or venue of happening..

The story hails in Pakistan dealing with the discriminatory culture that existed in the place between the Sikhs and the Muslims..The influence of religious beliefs and its impact on teenagers is highly discussed in the movie wherein the son of the main character gets deeply obsessed with the muslim religion negatively..Its been depicted in the movie that religion was considered as mere obsession rather than  a positive way of leading life in one time in the past...where the traits of it is followed still.....!!!!!!

 Why a movie is considered as a parallel art is due to its nature that displays "PORTRAYAL OF INSTANCES PARALLEL TO THE EMOTIONS"....and so is the name quite applicable....In the case of SILENT WATERS too the same tinge is visible...!

 And its an obvious answer to those prejudgemental notions and prejudices that parallel movies aren't  a synonym with sad or sorrowful content..but its a mixture of many human intervened emotions and sentiments that would relate to the real life incidents than mere commercialization and entertainment..Its a soul entertaining movie to put in better words....

 It creates a newer wave..a strong tide of expressions...and a practical mode of awareness and development..The routine and package of a parallel movie genres has within many genres attached like..it begins with the narrative style of mentioning the scene..establishing the situation and then follows within whole sides of the story revealing the sources and how hard or soft  the matter stands in the society..!!

 It gifts a solution that gets triggered in the minds of the viewers when confronted with such a theme..it invoke the journalist,the activist in you and brings in the sense of responsibility towards the society..

 Societal changes,community aspects,ethical,ethnographical elements,demographical and geographical movements of the sequences....are well showcased through any parallel art structure....!!!

Its vision and mission arent seperate enitities but strong pillars closely linked with the feature or development story portrayed...the true spirit of an artist specially in releasing the aesthetic skills of being the character is inevitable in any parallel movie and so is in THE SILENT WATERS....!!!!

Its indeed an assurance that would crown the masses with qualitative ,highly thought provoking subjects..!!!A genre to forseen in the coming and the present ,in reference to the past gives bunches of hopes to the real movie lovers.......

The trauma of rape in the Netflix series shows disturbing ways the system works around rape survivors and addresses it as it should be.  Trauma is often exploited in the media, which, in layers, has enabled rape culture by using women characters as the subject of rape-revenge plots even in big-budget movies and TV series like Game of Thrones or as a backstory to build a strong woman character in iconic movies like Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill.
