I like movies, or more specifically good movies. What is a good/bad movie depends on individual taste and mood I guess. I find it interesting how most people, arguably almost all people, use movies and media to help define reality, norms and how things work.

Yes, there are the obvious discrepancies. The people who get a dozen or more hard hits in a fight and just 'shake it off' are not accurately depicting reality. There are really good reasons boxers wear gloves and even full-contact fighting limits the types of strikes that are legal. When they didn't there was a steady string of paralyzed people and corpses carried off. Even rules and gloves fail to contain the carnage completely. Picture Mohammad Ali in the 70s, and how he is now.

More than one military expert called John Wayne responsible for more kids dead than anyone else in America. I like John Wayne, his straight-talking persona was a true American icon. But his individual heroism on film is foolishness when used in real life. It isn't the fairy tales that get you hurt; it is when you try to apply fairy tale logic to the real world.

One I have personal experience with is the overall body aches from a car crash. Heroes in the movies drive head-on into trucks carrying bridge parts and off cliffs. Then they walk off and do something really heroic the next day. The day after my crash every muscle and joint ached. I could barely walk. Heroics were entirely out of the question. I was in slowly decreasing pain for a week.

Another personal experience was getting hit with a baseball bat. I wasn't unconscious, kind of wish I was. I was crumpled on the floor and quite incapable of moving. I could no more stand than I could jump to the moon. Took ten minutes for my body to start taking orders again. Twenty before I could walk straight. I had a headache for a couple days and twinges of pain for a week.
