Have you ever seen anything in a movie that could really be described as "real to life"?

From stunts through to dialogue and reactions, just about everything is to look or sound good on a screen. If scenes were acted out in a "realistic" manner, they would seem boring, drawn out, uninteresting. How many times have you tried to use a line from a film only to see a blank expression or confused stare coming back at you?

Don't try to evaluate what you see on a screen, it usually ends in dissappointment. You pay to be entertained, you either are or you aren't.

Just my thoughts.

Regards,
Brian

PS - The Matrix is apparantly full of unbelievable visuals. True to life? I think not...
