Spiderman was mostly computer generated movie flick but not the Bond or Taken or Sholay and the list goes on. There is a lot of talk of the movies & the actors that will grab the Oscars this year. Plenty of lobbying going on to promote the movies and lay their hands on the bronze man!
It is not unusual to watch our kids enact those daring fight scenes almost everyday. Other than trying to copy Westbrook in dunking a basketball or kicking like Messi or Mia or do the helicopter shot - Dhoni style, Kids love to imitate the movie characters.
They jump from the bed & sofas, thinking they are jumping from two floors above and try a Bruce Lee type stunt or at times run with their bow & arrow and shoot like Hunger games or throw some air punches & flying kicks like Rajnikanth or Devgan. They all think they are copying the lead actors, the heroes & at times the bad guys too, from the movies but they are copying the stunt actors.
I read an article recently where the stuntmen organisation is lobbying to get them Oscar recognition. They have been at it for 20 some years unsuccessfully wherein the movies run successfully. Well, they even make movies after the stuntmen and depicting their life and lower pays but Brave Hearts!
I love watching movies, specially the action flicks and it was indeed saddening to read that all these action guys & gals have very little to cheer. I wonder do they even get invites to these award nights?
It would only be fair to include these personalities, show some recognition and reward their dare devilry. Next time i watch, Jason Statham, Liam Neesom, Bruce Willis or the Bond, not to mention, Saif, Shah Rukh, Devgan, Sonu or Simbu, i would be thinking- can these guys even jump a feet?
No, i wont stop watching movies but will be happy if Stuntmen/women get their two minutes of fame!!
