          The media influences our movies and daily lives. Hollywood 

produces films that are more popular in the media. History

repeats its self and if people are uninformed of the past then it will

reoccur. Some films that portray the past make it look bad. for 

example, the movie the Patriot made the English look bad and look

like murderers and savages. The movie Top Gun made the United 

States Navy look good. It made it look  better than it really was. 

Some people say the pentagon helped them and made their movie 

glorify the Navy so people might enlist and become sailors. Others

are accurate films, like Platoon. It did not glorify war as Top Gun

did. It showed the brutality of war and did it accurately with no 

help from the pentagon. The majority of people tend to get their 

information from films or TV shows, and most of those are not 

historically accurate. Many people believe false things or lies from

movies. This is how the media and Hollywood have an effect on 

our films and our society. I don't think you should believe 

everything you see in a movie because most of the time it will 

have 

the film maker's spin on it. We shouldn't let the Media or 

Hollywood have this much effect on our society or the facts we

tend to take for granted.
