When they made war films/westerns which had people being killed, they used people from prison who had been sentenced to death for committing crime. and that they were really being killed

I used to think that if someone got shot or killed in a movie, that they actually died in real life. I wondered where they got these people and if they volunteered for their parts. Were they suicidal? If they got paid what did they do with their money since they were dead?

When I was young, I used to watch a lot of action movies. I loved them but the thing was, I didn't know they were acting! Everytime someone would be shot, stabbed, or killed, I would feel sorry and it would be really sad. Obviously I thought I was perfectly right so I never brought it up. Until one day I saw a movie that had the same person die as the movie i had seen 2 weeks before. Finally, I asked my parents and they were so shocked because I've been watching all those movies and always thought they were real. The embarassment was so bad but it's still better than finding out the truth today, when I'm 22.

when i was about 4 or 5, i believed people that died in a movie really died - just for the sake of the movie. *cough* yea. O_o

When I was about 4 or 5, I used to think that when people were killed in movies that the actors really died. I thought that real-life people who just didn't want to live anymore volunteered to play the parts in movies where people were killed. I just couldn't figure out that it was "pretend blood" or a "fake gun."

I used to believe that when a character dies in a movie that the actor who plays him really died to make the movie, and therefore I would often cry when characters died.

Thiz is probably really weird, but I always thought that when people died in the movies that they REALLY died. I thought they hired actors that were willing to die. I never understood why anyone would of done that.

When my sister was little she loved the movie Poltergiest. then one day my mom heard that the girl died and told my sister. and then she said "will she still be in my movie?"

When my mom watched movies when she was little, she thought the people getting shot in the movies were really criminals sentenced to the death sentence, so they would just shoot them on screen.

SillyMommy!

When i was little i thought that when people in movies died they really did, so i thought they would just wait until they found out they had cancer or something before they would take a part where they would die and the movie company would pay their families lots of money to it, i was really confused when i saw the same guy die in two seperate chuck noris movies

I saw 'gorillas in the mist' when i was just little, at then end when the lady dies it says something about it being a true story, i thought that the main actress had worn the real persons skin and pretended to be her, but i was confused because how could they be allowed to kill her again??

When I was little I used to watch old western movies with my grandpa. There was alot of shooting involved and in the movie the actor dies. But when I was little I didn't know it was all fake. I thought people that just wanted to die figured hey, might as well come out in a movie and be famous.

i used to think that when someone died or got hurt on tv shows or movies, they really died. i thought that stunt doubles were the ones who sacrificed their lives for really good actors.

I used to think when people got shot in movies that it was real. My parents told me that how would actors agree to die just for a movie... but I thought they were lying to me so I wouldn't freak out. Then they just told me that it wasn't blood, that it was just ketchup. So that Christmas I asked for a gun that shot ketchup like the ones used in movies hahaha.

I used to believe all the people that got killed in movies were prisoners sentenced to death, and that's why it was so realistic, because they were using real people, not stuntmen.

Alex

i used to belive that actors in movie used to really get killed. Until i saw an actor die twice
