Point Of View About Critical Literacy

The end of semester 4 is around the corner and I am no longer learning this subject. Many experiences I have been face through learning this subject.
In my point of view, I think that this subject is quite tough subject rather than other subjects that I have learned before this. Critical Literacy is very challenging and I need to sacrifice a lot of time in studying this subject. But, overall I learned many things through Critical Literacy. Although it is very challenging and hard to score in flying colors, I believe that Critical Literacy can practiced students creativity and thinking outside the box. Thus, it can gain students itself extra knowledge by searching the sources and knowing about other people perception. By learning this subject, we can exchange mind and point of view regarding our understanding on the certain topics. In a nutshell, I believe that this subject give me lots of experiences and I can learn many things.
Yet, I believe that experience is the best teacher and learning is fun. In learning Critical Literacy it teaches me to explore many things that I never know before this through reading and from that I realize that reading is really important and must become someone's priority.

Proposition

Proposition: Hollywood produces great movies, but they don't always tell the truth even it is based on 'True Stories.' Provide at least two (2) premises or counter arguments for the proposition. Write in complete paragraph(s). 

There are lots of great movies that successfully can grab people attention and interest to watch it and thus it make the movie being in the top rank that been produced by Hollywood.


After I read and understand  the statement above, I agree with this proposition. If the movies shown following the real plot of the true stories, it will be boring. The plot of the true stories are sometimes not interested and the producers twist the plot to make it more catchy and interesting. "A good twist ending makes you look back on the entire movie while shitting your pants." Bell (2013). The plot of the movie been twisted to make it more interesting and surprising. If it follow the real true story, people will not watch the movies because basically they already know the ending of the story. As people already know, Hollywood always produces the movies based on the true stories, not only the plot have been twisted but usually they will change the title of the stories to make the audience trigger their mind about the stories shown. "an orchestrated media event where someone does something incredibly silly, dangerous or spectacular to draw further attention to the opening of the movie. An example is when the promoters of "The Simpsons Movie" transformed dozens of nationwide 7-Eleven convenience stores into replica's of Springfield's own Kwik-E Mart.” Roos (2015).

The movies and film are some sort of business field. “The movie industry really knows how to build momentum for their movies and they use many different types of content marketing to promote their movies.” Aughtmon (2012). The Hollywood producer keep promoting the movie to get the audience attention in watching the movie to make the movie get place for their marketing level in attaining the famous and best rating. “Film is a truly global business, and U.K. film is riding high on the world stage.” Kemp (2013).  Thus it is prove that movie and film is some sort of world business in grabbing the audience attention to get the profitable value that is the reason of not following the real of the true stories shown.
