When I was younger, I believed all the action sequences in films were very real. All the people that got shot, I figured them to be criminals or dissidents forced into acting, stomach wounds were aimed for unlethality and the head wounds for people who were to be executed anyhow.

Movies with a lot of death were quite puzzling to me, wondering how they managed to get all those prisoners. Later, someone told me that people had bags of ketchup under their clothes and the guns were firing pellets.

I used to think that when they killed someone in the movies they would get a stunt double that looked identical to the actor, and then kill him (for real).

I used to believe if someone was killed in a movie then that meant they were killed in real life too. I thought actors accepted roles voluntarily and knew that they would be killed and wanted to die for whatever reason. It wasn't until my mom and I were watching a movie together and I asked why a particular character wanted to die that she figured out what I had thought was going on and corrected me.

I used to belive that people really died in TV shows. I'd wait for Lassie to go for Timmy's throat after the barn burned down. But Jonathon Prost grew up to be a has been. I'm glad I was wrong!

I used to believe that when bad guys got shot in the cowboy and indian movies, that they were really bad guys from the prisons being shot as punishment for their crimes! I got worried when I saw the scenes where lots of people died thinking what a lot of bad people lived in the world.

I used to believe that when an actor died on-screen it was real. And I always used to be astonished when I saw the same actor in another movie, and went about asking people very seriously as to how did they survive!

I used to believe that all the people in cowboy films that got killed were people who wanted to die

when i was little.. anytime i watched an action movie where someone gets shot and died, i thought that the directors just found a person who wanted to die and killed them for real...

i used to believe that films were real so if someone got killed i thought they really got killed! Now I know it's not true.

P.S - Or if someone died.
