Bollywood - the new Kitsch for a naive global audience

Bollywood_Sen_Khan__295470g

Hollywood has long lost it’s hunger for musical, simple romance and naive Kitsch. The great dance movies of the 1940’s are long forgotten.

But don’t despair: another booming nation is willing to fill your head & heart with naive Kitsch.

India’s romantic  Kitsch crap is making people all over the globe. It’s simple mixture of sing & dance, naive cliches and archetypes right out of fairy tales are easy to understand for those craving some happy and brainless entertainment.

These variations lack all the cynicism and twisted modern identity crises of modern romance and most western romantic Kitsch. In India woman are still old fashioned woman and behave like a proper princess.

So audiences not only crave Kitsch romance, but simplicity itself. Why not move to Saudi Arabia instead, where traditional roles are strictly enforced?

I am a big fan of simplicity and minimalism - and this cover perfectly unites these two design principles. Great work!

Living in a Barrel - the new Hunger for Simplicity in our Life’s

The more confusing and stressful life becomes, the more we hunger for that easier and blissfully ignorant exit to a far away island.

But simplicity would bore us to death. Once your brain has been on fire (and on the Internet) there is no way going back. Once you have tasted the variety of life - it’s very hard to throw it all away for literally nothing.

But the real question is: are there any places left on this planet that are isolated and far away? Is there still such a thing?
