My grandma and mom watch alot of soap operas. And not only are they over melodramatic, they are very addicting. So I kinda find myself watchin them sometimes. The thing about all soaps are that they are extreme. Extreme laughter, extreme sadness. You know why there called soap operas? When you laugh alot you end up crying. And when you cry alot.....well you cry. Overall, you need to wash your face. With soap. And the actors and especially actresses will need alot of it. All they do on screen is laugh or cry. And people still like soaps, even me! How is this possible?
Sometimes its kinda pathetic that almost all soaps have the same typical story no matter which language they're in. There's always a mother in law-daughter in law fight, a husband-wife fight, a jealous lover, an old lady villain, a handsome Prince Charming or Princess that nobody approves of and a guy who doesnt get the girl in the end. And you know what's the worse part? How cheesy some of the characters are. Miniature Cinderellas- patient, loving, ready to do anything for their lovers. Or Modern Christs- sacrificing everything for love and family.
Maybe when I grow up I'll make a soap situated in Arizona where there's lots of comedy and the kids drink blue lemonade with spoons and famous hotels serve soup with forks. There'll be a waiter who thinks this is the way it always is and opens up a restaurant in London where he serves food his own way. Soon he'll be starting a fad.
Think it'll be a hit?
Feedback please.

Blue Lemonade with spoon is ok, I get that..... But how do you drink a soup with a fork?
ReplyDeleteAlso I feel the soaps are causing our society to go backwards instead of ahead..... I dont watch western soaps, but what ever I have seen in the Indian ones - it is all about either the woman is extremely patient and undergoes all kinds of torture with a smile in the face or she is a true witch finding all kinds of cruel things to do to another woman......
ReplyDeleteWith this kind of woman treatment in the soaps, it is so surprising the majority of audience who gets hooked on to it is also woman.....
Do you think woman are crazy to watch this kind of treatment to their sex in TV all day long?
I live in a Western country, and the soaps here are all about love, partying, sex, and ewwwwwwwwwwwwww stuff like that. They can be good though. They are hooking. You NEED to catch up on whats going on. Soaps are a BIG thing here.
