RAWALPINDI: Joyland is a 2022 Pakistani Punjabi language Film, Directed by “Saim Sadiq” produced by “Apoorva Guru Chara” “Sarmad Sultan Khoosat” and “Malala Yousaf Zai” as executive producer. Story initiates as “Rana family” craves for the birth of ‘baby boy’ ending up falling for Trans starlet’ at an Erotic Dance Theatre. Here is the point where the movie oppose are roots. Leaving the public with a question
Why to fit in a glass slipper, when you can shatter.
The core of a culture is devised by ‘values’. So if we target our values it will definitely shake the roots of our society. Culture and values knit together to form a society and defines us us what is right and what is wrong. This way the society we live in influences our choices. Here ‘Joyland’ by simply shakening our roots of family system, cultural values, norms could play with the mind of teens. Every country through there films, dramas and seasons portray their culture and ofcourse there religious values. Every Hindi movie is a true depiction of there culture starting from “Pooja” and there “Jay shri Bhagti”. This have a great influence on the viewer a clear example for that is we learned saying “Namastè” and used to sing “Jay shri Ram”
showing their cultural and religious insights. Every hollywood movie exhibit their culture and events as “Marry Christmas” there family terms as well. But unfortunately our films fail to portray our cultural and religious values.
“You may act pure, but deep down, we know you’re just like us! We might not have any actual proof whatsoever to back up such a claim, but we’ll go ahead and make endless movies about it regardless!”
“Things like homosexuality, premarital and extramarital sex, orgies, etc., are all okay because the liberal culture one day decided it’s okay”
This film trying to pitch a tilt to our young minds towards the acceptance of homosexuality, premarital and extra marital sex that it is all okay because world is now becoming more libral and modern so they wanted us that we should switch towards western norms and ethical values instead of sticking with traditional societal values beacuse they don’t want us to stay tuned to our Islamic beliefs and social norms.
As they say, “We are just mirroring flaunts of our society. Is it really the only matter that needs to be filmed? Is it on that urge? Is it going to create a change? or
What if it normalize those shakening concepts?
What if it give a rise to LGBTQ relations? In matter of act joyland shows homosexuality as something normal, and acceptable. A part from it’s success and winning “Jury Prize” and “Queer Prize” on best LGBTQ film. This storyline doesn’t observe religious as well as our legislation. This movie took LGBTQ a topic of debate in our lounge couches. This is the biggest threat to our only one system that is still in shape if compared to others that is our family system. It looks like our regulatory authorities swallow a bunch of sleeping pills when a movie questioning our cultural values goes to them for gatekeep. Release of this movie has given a major dent to our core values.
And while they push for a sexual revolution to take place in Muslim countries, they’re completely oblivious to the damage it caused in the West, where you now have a hedonistic satanic society filled with all kinds of deranged fetishes; where marriage is at an all-time low, the existing ones end in divorce; where homosexuals are allowed to adopt children; where transgenders are allowed to get close to children and explicitly explain their filthy lifestyle to them, often even putting on a perverted and disgusting performance or wearing clothes that reveal their genitals; and where parades filled with all kinds of sexual deviants walking the streets naked are praised as being ‘brave.’ This society, with all its sexual perversions and its consumerist lifestyle, has plunged itself deep into the depths of depression, where the only thing keeping them going is a steady stream of alcohol and antidepressants. This is the lifestyle that these liberals hide but are ultimately pushing for, in ‘the name of art,’ when they defend and promote movies such as Joyland.
This LGBTQ topic is under debate of teens and under eighteen as well. Nor our laws neither our religion allows this. Was there a urge to release a movie on LGBTQ , that’s still a debate!
Or we have other issues that must be adressed.
