Movies give us unnecessary high expectations of life, for example American movies about high school are very far from what high school is really like. Now don't get me wrong I knew it wasn't going to be like High School Musical but it was pretty close. I mean I suppose there are links like the groups or cliques you belong to and there's always that one table where all the popular people sit and if your not them well you have to find other people, but in the movie you can't change groups where as I found you can most of the time in normal high school life although I have made so many different friends and some have gone and some I have stayed friends with, so all I'm saying on this point is High school is so not like the movies.
Another point is the classical love story, now when in the movies you bump into a boy and you both bend down they all of a sudden have a connection, this really doesn't happen in real life. If anything your left to pick them up yourself. And I love movies I really do but it just got me thinking how sometimes we expect things that happen in movies to happen to us when really they won't.
Which on the other hand, if you think of books why is it we don't get expectations from books, we don't expect to find our prince charming straight away, well most people don't, and yet in films we do. I just thought it was a valid point.
