The stuffs we use for entertainment exploit our psychological vulnerabilities to the hilt. And in turn, these vitiate our mentality. This is the malady of the times that entertainment overwhelms our being and cognition (socialisation process) and thus we become the prisoners of the vilest of the minds. We mock our lives by caricaturing the make-beliefs and the fakes. The conduct of the US policeman is not a different case. By pressing the neck of the captive with his knee, hands in pocket, he was trying to create an impressive visual. None of the political commentators noted the impact the Bahubali duo made on the political dynamics of India. The entertainment contents need intellectual scrutiny, and intellectualism needs to be vested with intellect.
