DROWNING IN HOLLYWOOD

Monday, June 17, 2013
 
Proverbs [KJV] 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

  Hollywood and TV primarily are in the money making business, doing so by constantly working at entertaining people. The more entertaining they are the more money they make. To maximize level of entertainment they often take considerable liberties in presentation; exaggeration and/or misrepresentation frequently the norm.

  For most people this general rehearsal is recognized and considered simply entertainment.

  Some scenes are not taken as such and at cost of injury or even death are accepted as factual. One such is drowning. Hollywood and TV entertainment pictures drowning with lots of splashing, shouting and screaming for help; dramatically quite noticeable.

  In actuality, drowning is typically a silent event, with children too often the victim; A silent event tragically too often occurring in the midst of loving family and friends. (After vehicular collisions the # 2 warm weather cause of injury and death among children.) Pool or pier side child safety demands not just being in the area but eyes-on attention; keeping in mind that attention is spelled “constant” as drowning injury or death happens in minutes or even seconds.

  And then there’s Hollywood and TV representation of Christian that drowns the entertained crowd in educational script that is other than according to The Word of God.  EBB4
