Everywhere in the showbiz world, we see that beauty sells. Be it the movies, or be it the television. Advertisements, serials, movies all have beautiful version of the world. And it has not even spared the sports world. One of the most awful rumors I heard in the recent times was Real Madrid were not interested in hiring Ronaldinho because he did not look presentable to the advertisers and media partners.
Well, Nike has him in their advertisements and Barcelona is topping the Spanish Football League. Real Madrid with their cute stars in Michael Owen and Raul are second. And well, we have a great example in the Hollywood as well…
Saw Shrek 2 today. I had no doubt that it was going to be awesome. And it was indeed one of the finest movies I have seen in a long time. A movie that defies traditional views the way we saw movies. Agreed, it was computer animations, so ugly is not exactly ugly. Still how many other cartoon movies have ugly looking central characters! Hulk and HellBoy comes to mind, but in Shrek, they glorify what real world is. Not perfect.
Tell this to Karan Johar and Yash Chopra Camp somebody.
