Hollywood movies are full of LIES

-



Hollywood produces great movies, that is a fact but they do not always tell the truth when they say that it is based on “true stories”. I personally agree with this proposition, as we all know Hollywood is the most well-known and is a large film industry that produces a lot of movies such as Mission Impossible, The Equalizer, Incredibles 2 and many more movies, the one thing that all of the movies have in common is that everyone love it so much. The reason as to why Hollywood do not always tell the truth even if it is based on true stories is because the truth is sometimes boring and not suitable for movie material so they replace it with something interesting such as small adorable kids, some action or beautiful girls.
        The terms Hollywood people use is “retelling” which means cutting out the boring, unremarkable bits and inserting other scene that can take the audience’s attention. We know that Hollywood is a fantasy-land. The Possession is an example of a movie that uses “retelling” of The Dibbuk Movie, a book by Jason Haxton, the curator of a medical museum in Missouri who brought a wooden cabinet with Hebrew carvings off eBay, only for his staff to be terrorized by the box which he claims is possessed by a Jewish spirit. Besides that, it is impossible to create a movie that is definitely 100% the same as the real story. The term of “based on true story” is actually use for marketing the film and not for telling the people that it is based on true story because it is not a true story.
           Lastly, Hollywood does produce great movies but the fact that all “based on true story” movies are really based on true story are confirmed to be wrong because there are many example such as Compliance, and The Sessions.

The Killer Subject

Before I entered semester four, I heard from most of my seniors said that there is one killer subject that I need to face in semester four called Critical Literacy. One of my seniors told me that it is uneasy subject to score and even my lecturer told me that there were students that failed for this subject. My first impression when I heard the name of the subject I was doubting myself and from the name itself already shown that it will be hard and difficult to score. Everything that was in my head at that moment was on the negative side. I am worried because I am not critical thinker and it takes a lot of time for me to think critically. I tried to be positive and say to myself to take this as a challenge. To be honest, I am the type that cannot make decision alone and I have a hard time to make decision. So, whenever I want to decide I depend on other to give me suggestions. In previous semester I was struggling for my ITTL subject which was quite tough.   In my mind, I thought

       If you read this, that is mean that I am at the end of Semester 4 already. I have learned many things by taking this Critical Literacy subject. I have done my test and assignment and now I am waiting for my turn to do viva presentation which I am little bit nervous but excited as well.         Based on my observation, I learned that I should not just simply agree or disagree at one point without any strong stand or valid evidence. I started to find the meaning behind the article.   I learned that before I believe on any article I learned on how to make sure that the writer is credible enough to write anything. This subject makes me read a lot of article. I able to learn on how to train my brain to think critically in any kind of matters in hope to overcome problems and master the skills in decision-making process. I admitted I am still a little bit confused until now. I hope that this subject will be held in class and not in mass lecture because lecturer can focu
