Tropes'R'us - do movie tropes influence our way of thinking

RE: Tropes'R'us - do movie tropes influence our way of thinking
@vic
Having done a first aid course or better of course makes it obvious that this particular aspect of movies is wrong. But I wonder if other things aren't more subtle and insidious. For example, we are shown time and time again how complicated problems are resolved by a singular heroic act rather than difficult regular grinding work to improve conditions. Now we have President Trump.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
