Hollywood is Not a Think Tank

Movies are NOT the place to learn HOW to THINK FOR yourself or to rational decisions.  Constantly bombarded with information in movies that are created and produced to spin the makers slant on any subject is another way to seduce the mind of every audience.  Young impressionable minds can get the wrong idea easily and actually believe it. 

I was working with a Jewish college girl that came from Israel to go to school here.  She had seen the film "American Beauty" and thought ALL men here were lechers, like the father in that movie. When I saw the movie I thought it was disgusting and was really disappointed that this naïve youngster actually believed what she saw in a movie. Young people learn from the environment they are raised in and this kind of movie does not teach any useful tools to "Fix" the problem or unite all people here in America.

Hollywood can be very misleading to the audience in that these actors spend their entire profession in fantasy. The characters they play are highly emotional and NOT driven by logic.  The parts they play must evoke emotional chaos of every situation, to make a movie. (Without a problem to solve there is no reason to watch the movie.)

As a result, problems in movies are magnified.  Many times the problem is solved illegally.  As you get wiser, you see this. Hopefully...

Many "justified" good endings in a movie make unsuspecting audience members happy with an ending that solves the problems with the same chaotic reasoning that started the problem. Violence, lies, and vigilantes, an ending that will land a real US citizen in jail for life or dead. 

I think I’d rather go for a walk, bike ride, or kayak and read a book later. Think my own thoughts of viable, legal, reasonable, solution and plans for my own life. Staying thankful for what I have and who I am another day in the USA.
