Are you sick and tried of people who compare the skills of talented people in arts, science, technology, sports etc of different generations.It is like comparing apples and oranges. if you read the comparison it is always biased and the winner will be of current generation if the reviewer is much younger and vice verse if the reviewer is older.In my mind i think it is totally unfair to compare anybody irrespective of field and generation.unless the people you are comparing are contemporary people and playing field for both of them is exactly the same.
when people compare Sachin Tendular to Don Bradman, i think of that reviewer to be nuts. Because it is impossible to come to concrete conclusion who is the better player. And when you look at the Sachin with his contemporary players.some people still have doubts about he being greatest versus others. if that is the case how can you compare somebody from totally different generation. There will always be so many parameters and attributes which would contribute in favor of these players for that particular generation. So there fore it is impossible to compare anybody of any skill. Unfortunately people still compare and always come out with a biased conclusions.
Talking about movies, there are different actors and actress of different generation who have acted in different stories and under different conditions and people. But people still compare here too. it is literally comparing Apples to wood or glass.
when people compare SRK with Amitabh. i do not see any logic. both of them are from different generation and younger generation no matter what like SRK and older people relate the same to Amitabh. And things gets interesting when SRK does the copy of the same movie of Amitabh with better visual and sound effect. which make the reviewer to be biased because he is morphed with the other parameters and attributes. which never existed during Amitabh days.
Same things do emerge when we compare scientists, politicians , artists etc. so it is good not to compare thing which do not have same level playing fields. Other wise you will get a biased opinion.
I see all these comparing people is more to increase the commercial values of a particular person and for marketing purpose. If you release a article about Sachin tendular that he is the greatest cricketer ever just before the Australian series. marketing people think that they could get more commercial and thus more viewership. And same is true when SRK is declared as the best actor ever when his new movie Don 2 gets released across the world.
Bottom line is these reviews are not well thought and it is always biased and intended for commerical purpose. So therefore one should always keep in mind when quoting these reviews as reference points for any kind of conclusion.
