| Summary: | Cinema as a motion picture medium with proper sound effects has the potential to provide maximum entertainment
value to the audience. Story narratives are one of the key elements in the success of any movie and violence in different
forms play important roles in completing the story and its impact. Socio-economic, political and cultural changes as
well as developments in the field of science and technology have changed the world and the lifestyle of people in
numerous ways, in the last 50 years. If cinema reproduces human society and its virtues through the stories, how much
of these changes get reflected in the cinema? Has the cinema changed substantially during this period? The assumption
of this study is that the changes should be mirrored in the story including the depiction of violence in the movies. It
explores the differences in sketching the resolution of violence and vulnerability in the 3 rd act of movies by analyzing
selected movies of the last 50 years. Selection of sample is done from the Malayalam movies those which received the
Kerala State award. The study analyses the presence of violence in the three different ‘Acts’ of the movie narratives and
use of violence as a resolution. |
