What Hollywood is Teaching Us

Hollywood movies have really become a part of our lives, and many of their ideas have crept slowly into the back of our minds, but we, unconsciously, do not pay attention. You only realise how ridiculous they sometimes are when you look back at them, individually.

– Chinese. A Chinese character in the movie can mean only one thing, and that is Kung Fu. According to Hollywood, Chinese people never have anything else to do than Kung Fu. They don’t have to go out and earn money, they just stay in their houses, which are perhaps in the mountains, or maybe a jungle, and practice kicking and punching the air, and of course, saying all wise things when they’re at it.

– Undercover cops and detectives are useless and will never solve a case unless you suspend them from duty which tends to have a drastic effect and gives them back all their intelligence and clever wits. On duty they will always have arguments with their bosses and they’ll ‘make it up to them’ after solving the case, when suspended from duty. There are numerous examples of movies which portray the same message, like Bad Boys and I Robot (the Will Smith movie), and many others.

– The hero in any action film will not show much emotion while getting beaten up, he’ll take a bullet or two, to the chest or maybe a whack to the head, but he’ll be able to contain all his emotions, but when a pretty nurse (that coincidentally happens to be his love) will try to clean his wounds, he will not hold any of those emotions back. People, taking a bullet is NOT painless.

– The sole purpose of American schools is to teach basketball or football.  Whenever a school is made part of a movie, it is to show the sports in which the students indulge. Schools don’t really have anything to do with education.

– If twins are born, one is bound to be evil.

–  Aliens have a special interest in attacking the US only. They are the only ones worried for the ‘existence’  of the world, while the other countries do not take interest as to whether the Earth continues to exist or not, and in the end the US army always solves the problems. Why would the aliens have anything to do with the rest of the countries?

– If a couple of friends are in the mood to start dancing on the street, everyone will already know the steps, and suddenly they’ll start a very organised dancing session.

These are a few things Hollywood is teaching us these days. Please share if you have anything interesting. Looking forward to your comments and opinions.
