Something about Movies

The difference between reality and Fiction. 

     So I wanted to do something different, or I guess you could say not talk about books for once. But the idea's kind of go hand in hand. Mean Girls, She's All that, She's the Man,High School Musical, and I could name a few other movies about high school but I'll stop there. You want to know what they all have in common? No of them are really that realistic. When I first watched High School Musical, I really thought that people randomly broke out in song during school. Maybe I was just some gullible kid but it really got my hopes up.  Imagine my shock as my parents told me, " I'm sorry to disappoint you sweetie, but singing and dancing like that really doesn't happen in real life." 

  Maybe I wasn't that disappointed in not being to dance with all my classmates, just thinking about my uncoordinated self dancing on tables and up the stairs just makes me cringe . But the drama and cliques? My High School experience has been nothing like that. Sure having no drama is a good thing, but when your in a school where nothing happens you just might want to see a cat-fight like the one from Mean Girls. The whole idea of standing up for someone or beliefs, I have yet to see that happen. One realistic thing I have seen in movies and television shows is the use of the internet. Cyber-bullying, trash talk, private pictures all being exposed on social network sites and through text messages. With smartphones being able to screen shot  is as easy as 1-2- I show that picture you sent me to the whole school hope you don't mind. So for now on if you want the daily drama details just check twitter.

A Theory on Why these movies are so Good. 

In a recent discussion I had with one of my fellow acquaintances we talked about the people behind the movies. Maybe the reason why these movies are so good is because the person who created them had an awful high school experience.  Actually maybe their experiences just sucked and to make up for it they made their fantasies come to real life. John Tucker Must die, was a great movie but now that I think about it who comes up with this stuff? That movie seemed way more college based because let's face it in high school everyone knows who's dating who. I mean maybe if i got asked out be guys on the regular basis I could say movies are pretty realistic. Nope just living vicariously through the characters around me. Yes I did just refer to my friends and family as characters.

For now this is all I have to say about movies.
