movies lie to you on purpose to manipulate your emotions

there are lots of reliable information sources about pollution risks, like mmwr, the cochrane collaboration, msds, toxicology textbooks, wikipedia, epa assessments, and so on

there is no need to make yourself dumber by making life decisions contingent on beliefs you acquired from movies

i am not going to subject myself to hours of manipulative propaganda for which truth is not even a consideration in order to write a 'rebuttal' nobody wants to read, thus implicitly affirming all the errors that i missed or that didn't seem important enough to mention

dramatizations are works of fiction

literally everything in them is false with the occasional exception

every word, every facial expression, every event, every chemical reaction, every purchase, every article of clothing, every motivation

the exceptions where they say something objectively true are enumerable; the falsehoods are not

don't base your beliefs or life decisions on fiction

finding out what is true and making good choices are hard enough without deliberately sabotaging the process

I think it's a perfectly reasonable response to your assertion that "movies lie to you on purpose to manipulate your emotions" in order to defend the GP comment.

If that's a ridiculous question, it's only because your assertion was equally ridiculous given the context of the thread.
