Re: Pakistan being Represented by Film Stars…?
Hi Allah PCG, you are so easy to get all upset. I guess that comes with age. Learn to take the critique with an open mind, if you wish to develop a character. First of all, you have no clue about Pakistani Movie actors. At one time, Lahore Movie Studios (Shahnoor, etc.) produced more Movies than China, Russia, and Egypt combined. The SOB Zia killed that industry. You can’t just wake up today and start belittling the Pakistani Movie actors without having a clue about what caused their current state. And secondly, why do you think that an educated person will be best to represent Pakistan abroad? In NYC, over 80% of cabbies are Pakistani, do you want a Harvard economist to represent Pakistan? Come on. That type of elitist and hollow mentality is what is keeping us backward. I can kick Imran Khan’s ass at any place, any time, and it is not because I am better educated than he is, but because I have a character that has been ingrained in me by my upbringing. Those movie actors (Reema Sheema and whomever) you are poking fun at, are more “Pakistani” than you are. And yes, Literacy rate has a lot to do with it.
