Can ther really be a non-fiction movie?

[sockpuppet]

Since we've cashed in Free Will in favor of Marketing, movies shape our Reality. Life has become so vicarious it pretty well HAS to imitate "Art" if that's where those little pre-fab trend packages are created. So, if a movie starts off as fiction, it may well come to represent actuality.

Look at all these looping, jumpy, misthreaded film clips of the Post-Apocalyptic Technology (style), which gives the impression that it was created by a camera found in the ruins of a long-dead civilization... They use it on our local news program, even!

It's a contrived effect, and you can bet the truth will be lost on a coming generation-- not that some explanation will replace the truth-- but that nobody will ask. So, the fiction is upgraded.

Same thing that happened to that readheaded killa-kid from Pierre who's pointing a Glock sideways or 'execution style' at somebody. Same as all the deep 3-week long relationships created by Lesbian Chic. ("Wag the Dog" he said, ironically.)

Fiction is a matter of degree, like everything else. How the movie relates to Reality is one approach to the question. How the audience relates to the movie is another. I guess the clever way to wrap this up is to say "Fiction IS as fiction DOES" but that sounds like it must be a quote from some movie, sorta...
