The Thing I Hate About Movies

I hate that movies try to make life seem simpler and carefree, but really don't give any insight at all. There are movies, for example, where the hero/heroine learn a lesson the hard way. This may seem like the media is trying to relate to today's world. But not everyone learns lessons the first time they are put to the test. Some people have to relive these mistakes over and over again. Some people dwell on their mistakes, some people suffer from depression, some people suffer from denial.

I also hate the movies that make it seem like rules will always be broken in their favor. For instance, there is always the standard two girls fighting over the one guy. The whole movie, they fight over him and sabotage the other girl, and in the end they find out the guy is a jerk and they're friends again - moving on to find their princes. This doesn't happen in real life. Okay, maybe ten percent of the time it happens in real life. But real life is not tv. Real life is about making mistakes that you don't always learn from the first (or any) time. Real life is about losing friends. Real life is about being the rule and not the exception.

I guess REAL LIFE movies don't exist because everyone wants a happy ending.
