No, no. Movies imitate real life.
We've been told time and time again how people don't imitate the movies. The movies are a reflection of real life. Here is a proof positive Hollywood is disconnected from the real world.
Drudge ran a story about a young child on video seemingly high on ecstasy. The older kids in the video were egging the young child on. Drudge has posted an update to the story which you can watch here. The mother says the girl was imitating a scene from "The Grudge 2." But that is impossible. Hollywood media companies have been claiming there is no connection between art and imitation (Afraid of legal culpability?).
The only ground I see Hollywood able to stand on is the fact the movie was rated PG-13. What was the mother thinking letting someone so young see such a movie?
