I know. LOL, it reminds me of when Apollo 13 came out, as I was walking out with my wife, there was a young teenage couple in front of us, and the guy said to the girl: "Boy, I sure was glad that movie ended the way it did..."

Some people don't understand the concept of movies, whether wholly fictional like West Wing or relating events that actually happened like Apollo 13.

To them, the movie is reality.

“the movie is reality”

Great post.

Propagandists have understood this for many decades.

Input is input—over time fiction and fact blend together and affect behavior.

Lies in movies are actually more devastating than lies in real life—because no rebuttal is possible.
