Politics is like the Film Industry

I went to watch a Hindi film Luck by Chance (I enjoyed the film) and I felt that there is a parallel between films and politicians.

All worlds a stage and we are all actors. The Image Management activity of Public Relation agencies is working overtime.

It will not be a surprise that sometime in future, like for aspiring actors there would be a screen test of politicians. For clearing this screen test all politicians will enroll themselves in Institutes of Politician training (run by PR agencies of course). And only politicians with a certificate will get an opportunity for the screen test (read elections). Thus we the public, no longer will see plain looking politicians.

They will be trained in portraying the correct shade of feelings for the screen (read masses) and once off stage they will be different. Who cares for substance when there will be style!!!

The political addresses to the masses will be called ‘frames’ and after every such delivery the director (PR people)will shout ‘cut’ and congratulate the politician to have given a great shot.

I think this would be the right time to be in the PR industry.... laughing all the way to the bank.

I am loving it!!!!!!!
