Topic relatization

movie cliches are the bane of modern movie goers existence, the plight of seeing the same plots, hooks and charaters is a tragedy of the modern age. Cliches usually are the result of lazy screen writing or wanting to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Most regard them as boring and over used but what if they were something more, something that shapes how we see the world. Take for example guns, in movies they are potrayed as unlimited ammo death machines that never offer and recoil or hurt the users ears when rapidly firing them. Many people think this way about guns, never holding one in their life their perception of them comes from what they see of them and about them. Cliches in that way have a significant hold over how the population views something, because if you see the same cliches over and over again about a topic we have little knowledge of then the cliche becomes our knowledge of the subject. This is because it is hammered into our brains whenever we see it a constant reminder of mostly false information. Serveral ideas we have come from cliches, true love, violence, heroism, drug dealers and so on and so forth.
I figure this to be my body and begining. I'll probably add to it. The take away would go like this.
All I ask is that when you think something, think about why you think that way. Not all of our incorrect assumptions and information comes from movie cliches, some can even come from your own mother. You gotta ask yourself why you view the world a certain way and where those views really come from.
