Painting a “Bad” Picture
Sometimes movies leave things out that would make them lose
momentum. Fast-paced, action-packed car chase movies are exciting to
watch. Violent fight scenes are thrilling to see. But movies don’t always
show the effects of these actions.
Watching people clean up the damage or go to the hospital just isn’t
as fun. So even though the movie is entertaining, we have to remember
that it’s not really how things would go down in real life.
