Actors Beyond the Screen: A Tale of Two Film Industries
By Muhsin Ibrahim
Many people find it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality. Therefore, they mistakenly assume an actor’s role is their actual behaviour outside the fictional world of a particular film. Some also think their beauty on camera is the same as off camera, and hold several other presumptions.
I saw posts where (Hausa) ladies declared their love for Korean film actors and K-pop stars. But unknown to them, those actors not only wear heavy makeup, but some have also had plastic surgery to enhance their looks. South Koreans are obsessed with their looks and go to great lengths to look exceptionally gorgeous.
However, beyond the look, fame and fortune, many of these celebrities go through a lot in their lives. One of them, Moonbin, 25, died in an apparent suicide scenario last night. The BBC reports that South Korea has the highest rate of suicide among developed countries. Most of the victims are celebrities and in their 20s!
As I also understood in Rabiu Rikadawa and Hadiza Gabon’s talk, many men who marry Kannywood ladies expect to see the beautiful faces and sexy bodies they see in films. But they soon become disappointed when they see something different or even the opposite. That is often the beginning of the end of the union.
Folks, wish and pray for what is best for your distinct needs. Don’t just wish to be me-or anyone else–in all respects. You may not have the strength to endure my life struggle. So, what should you do?
Strive to improve your living standards through hard work (studies, businesses, or any other legitimate endeavour) and supplement that with prayers. While we think or even claim to be architects of our lives, we don’t control everything. Hence, we need to add prayers to our efforts.
It’s excellent to have a role model, a motivator, and an inspiration. Nevertheless, some life experiences have taught me to stop wishing to be exactly like anyone. Instead, I want to be myself, a version I constantly try to improve.
Of course, I admire many people and wish to accomplish some things as they do. But that’s different from wanting to be them. I would rather have more contentment and remain as I am destined to be.
Also, wise up and see things as they are. Just so you know, even the so-called Reality TV Shows aren’t real. Actors act as any character the director commands them to. Producers and other crew provide locations, costumes, props, etc., as the script requires. In sum, everything is staged and fake.
