Hi, I hope you can give me a hand. I've seen all of the new Hollywood movies and I want to try something new. I don't know what, just something different.
Why not try a Bollywood movie?
No, I've told you I've seen all of the new Hollywood releases, I want something different.
Not Hollywood, Bollywood. India's movie industry, well. Mumbai's movie industry to be exact. The name comes from a combination of "Bombay" -- the old name of Mumbai and "Hollywood". It's becoming very popular nowadays, not just for Indians, for everyone.
OK, what style are Bollywood movies?
They are usually musicals, based on love stories, with male and female leading actors. There's lots of dancing too.
Well, that does sound different! Can you give me some more information, please?
Bollywood is a massive movie industry, maybe the biggest in the world. It has been going for nearly nine decades! That's a long time, but the love story, musicals didn't become popular again until the late 1980s. The first Bollywood movies were silent. Now, the budgets for these movies are low by Hollywood standards, just like the Hong Kong movie industry. Low budget, but big success.
嗨,真希望你能幫個忙。我看完了最近的好萊塢片,想試試些新玩意,不知道怎么說,反正就是些不一樣的影片。
干嘛不試試寶萊塢影片?
不,我說了我都看完好萊塢新片了,我想試試不一樣的影片。
不是好萊塢,是寶萊塢。印度電影工業(yè)。嗯,準(zhǔn)確的說應(yīng)該是孟買電影業(yè)。這名字是由孟買的舊稱BOMBAY和好萊塢結(jié)合而來的?,F(xiàn)在很流行呢,不僅僅是印度,全世界都很有名呢。
好吧,那寶萊塢電影都是些什么類型的呢?
大多都是以男女主人公愛情故事為主的音樂劇,里面也有很多舞蹈動作。
嗯,聽上去是有點不一樣啊。能再說說給我聽嗎?
寶萊塢是個很大的電影工業(yè)城,可能是當(dāng)今世界上最大的了。它至今已經(jīng)發(fā)展了出不多90年了。雖然是相當(dāng)長的一段時間,但是這些愛情劇音樂劇重新受人關(guān)注是80年代末的事。早期的寶萊塢影片是無聲電影?,F(xiàn)在,以好萊塢的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來說,寶萊塢片都是低預(yù)算影片,就像香港片一樣,以低成本獲得大收益。
