One Right Hand

Hollywood and West Cinema are part of The World Cinema. And Islamic Cinema as a cultural art should introduce its role as a part of World Cinema. 
Certainly, the pursuit of art is indispensable for the survival of each cinema. Undoubtedly, nudity and extraordinary violence are not part of art but they are now known as effective elements on the "market". "Market" is the director and the lead of many movies and it can impose its demands to filmmakers. Art is a product of freedom and "market" violates the freedom. Many ideas, facts and even truth have been put away just because they were not according to "market". Therefore, back of the market's interests in the cinema and incontrovertible support of its elements cause the degradation of art and freedom in cinema. 
Indeed, West Cinema has its own audiences as the same as each filmmaker has its own fans. Given the fact that the reason of perdurability of a prominent filmmaker or artist is that he/she detect the audiences and does not start adventure. 
Although the numbers of Hollywood Cinema audiences and viewers are more than Islamic Cinema, but westernizing an Islamic Cinema (like what is seen in the Cinema of Indonesia) does not add to the numbers of viewers but will be followed by the cultural destruction of that Cinema.
