Looking back on all the movies I have watched in my life I noticed a common theme. Even the so called realistic ones, were packed full of lies. I'll start from the beginning and work my way throw the years.
As children most parents but a block on the movies we could watch, so I will stick with strickly G rated movies. Can somebody please tell me where my prince charming is? I'm sure the princesses were not much older than me, and every single one of them found there hearts true love. But I would like to see someone, anyone really, who has been plucked from poverty by a man that will wisk them away to see the beauties of the world and never look back. Do you see anyone around you willing to take that deep of a plunge? I know I don't.
And where are my magical talking animal friends. I can sing, it might not be platnum record worth, but I do have a decent voice, yet no animals crowd around me awaiting my every order to clean my room, what kind wouldn't want that? Parents baring down on them to pick up there room, and with one note a flock of birds prance in through the window and the room is spotless in just one dance scene.
And as we all grew up we learned about the Super Heros. From ones that can fly to super strenght who didn't want a piece of that. I know I did, fighting with your friends over who was cooler, and killing off the weakling that was off on its own. Come on now, everyone was a bully at one point in time. And how many people jumped off of there house attempting to fly, and when it didn't work, waiting form the Supper Hero of your choice to rescue you from the sheer stupidity you just attempted. And then of course there was the crushing blow of that never happening. Ever.
Moving forward a few years we have been exposed to Action flicks. Who doesn't love those bad boys. The cars are fast, the guys are hot, and the girls stand sexily by motercycles showing you what you can never have. And there's always that one scene, hopefully with ninja's, where the main character is surrounded by the bad guys. The close up on the faces to show just how tense the moment is. But have you ever noticed how even though the super evil destroyer of worlds out number the good guy ten to one, they always, no matter what, prance around in a circle waiting to attck one at a time even though they watch as there minion friends fall. Now as much sense as that doesn't make, then we come across the steryotypical evil genious explaining his master plan, painfully slow, as he slowly attempts to kill the savior. I would also like to point out the fact that men are always the evil doers, that is just not so, all it means is that us woman never get caught.
And that leads us to Horor cult classic. These are the movies that you would pay your eighteen year old sibling to buy the tickets for you and your underaged friend and hope you don't get caught by the guys with the flashlights. Now think about this, really, if there were that many awesome serial killers out there that could so easily avoid detection by the law wouldn't we all be dead by now? Leaving the psychopaths alone on the plant to kill off each other?
All of the super natural ones 'based on true events' if you watch the warnings at the end it normal states that it was a piece of pure fiction. Even if it weren't how is it possible that there is no actual proof outside of the movie. The one thing that I wish could be improved, even just slightly, would be the blood special effects. Most people at some point in time have seen blood, it does not gush out squirting over everyone, or look like light red paint. All these movies are good for is fightening small children that hide behind the couch on there sisters first date to see the scary movie the boy brings over as an excuse to get closer. Causing irrational fears of clowns and ax murders hiding under your bed or in your closet so when you wake up at night you swear you hear heavy breathing.
And those are just a few of the lies of life.
