Blog 6: Hero

  At the end of the movie "Hero" Bernie Laplante tells his son that "He shouldn't believe everything he hears or see on T.V". This was one of the part that stood out the most in my opinion. Bernie is more than right when he said that to his kid. At the end of the movie "Hero" the media finds out that John Bubber didn't commit the heroic act and that it was Bernie Laplante, but they decided not to tell the people that John Bubber wasn't the hero they decided to keep the secret to themselves. This don't only occurs in movies this even happens in reality right now. The media lot of time try to cover up the truth with lies and we many of the times end up believing them. They lie because it will be worst if people find out that they have been lying to the public and then they will loose our trust in them and loosing the trust of their viewers means low rankings and the loss of millions of dollars. The media pretty much control everything from the clothes we wear to the food that we eat, weather they lie to us or not we will never know the difference because to us "spectators" we believe they're always telling us the truth and they shouldn't lie to us about things that we believe are really serious stuff.
