So the film was a kind of lie, because by existing it said: 'Observe the lengths we'll go to for your security. We'll even make you a movie about it.' Style instead of substance, the image instead of the reality
In "The Satanic Verses," Salman Rushdie critiques the idea that the film created surrounding security is misleading. The movie implies that significant efforts are being made to ensure safety, presenting a facade of concern while masking deeper truths. This highlights a disconnect between the image projected by the film and the actual implications of those actions.
Rushdie suggests that the film prioritizes style over genuine substance. It raises important questions about how visuals and narratives can construct an illusion of security, overshadowing the real challenges and complexities at play. By watching the film, audiences are compelled to consider the disparity between what is presented and what truly exists.
