Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States.However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India.Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(工业)there is called “Bollywood”.Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood-more than 800 films a year.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies.For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies.Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action adventure, mystery, and romance ( but usually no kissing).Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “ masala” film.

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made.It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood.In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本)is even finished.The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made.Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time.They may even shoot(拍摄)scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery.Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors.This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.The average Bollywood film, with a budget(预算)of only two million US dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood film -thirty times as much!

Night after night，she came to tuck me in，even long after my childhood years.Following her longstanding custom，she'd lean down and push my long.hair out of the way，then kiss my fore—head.

I don't remember when it first started annoying me—her hands pushing my hair that way.But it did annoy me，for they felt work—worn and mush against my young skin.Finally，one night，I shouted out at her，"Don't do that any more--your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply.But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.

Time after time，with the passing years，my thoughts returned to that night.By then I missed my mother's hands.missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.Sometimes the incident seemed very close，sometimes far away.But always it lurked，in the back of my mind.

Well，the years have passed，and I'm not a little girl anymore.Mom is in her mid—seventies.and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.She's been our doctor，reaching into a medicine cabinet(医药箱)for the remedy(药物)to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe(安慰)the boy's scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…gets stains out of blue cans, like I never could…

Now, my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad，and on special occasions.I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across, my face to brush the hair from my forehead.Then a kiss，ever so gently，touched my brow(额头).

In my memory，for the thousandth time，I recalled the night my young voice complained，"Don't do that any more--your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand，I blurted (冲口说出)out how sorry I was for that night.I thought she'd remember ，as I did.But Mom didn't know what I Was talking about.She had forgotten--and forgiven—long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her carrying hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
