POST #7 (All Film Is Construction)

I think The movie Hidalgo did a good job of constructing a Believable reality. Take the wounded knee scene for instance. In the scene there is a lack of communication between the Natives and The Whit men and the white men then slaughter the whole tribe over nothing. This was very close to the truth and really captures the truth of that moment. The rest of the film is believable as well.

Star wars does not construct a believable reality. It uses technology that can't or won't exist for a long time yet the time the movie occurs in is set early in time.
