If people can remember that everything out of Hollywood is entertainment, the reaction might be better. I have seen few war movies – or cop shows, or … - that depict reality. They all depict the Hollywood version of reality - fantasy. The problem with the Hollywood version is that far too many people think it is an accurate depiction. They watch an historical drama and believe it is history. They watch a TV cop show and believe that every cop out there engages in firefights with bad guys armed with automatic weapons on a regular basis. They watch a war movie and believe all GIs are baby killing psychos.

Or they watch the news and believe what the reporters are telling them is the truth.

Appalling.
