Land of the free

I have heard that America is known as "land of the free" . I realised that only after watching 'DA VINCI CODE'. I was amazed by the kind of freedom the writers and directors have in United states. They can make movies in any subject and here the crowd either accpets it or reject it. they do not create a major fuss about it.

But in India before taking a movie on any subject you will have to make sure that no organizations protest against it. No matter how careful you are they will still find a way to protest against the film. This has become a trend in tamil cinema of late.

If a similar story had been written in india about some hindu god, then there will be a great furore..People who call themselves the saviours of hinduism would have immediately got into act. By this time there would have been nationwide protests,
tearing the screens of the theatres, threatening calls to the producer,director and actor.. even to the light boy who worked in that cinema.
