display of arrogance by you is atrocious.
In a sense, all movies are make-believe fantasies. What happens
in a movie such as Chinatown, or Knife in the Water, or Rashomon,
is not anything which correlates to actual events; in fact, their
plots can be considered quite improbable in real life.
In fact, with modern technology, I believe the literary genre of
fantasy is now best expressed through the cinema, as special
effects can now be rendered so realistically as to bring out the
sense of wonderment and amazement which cinema does so well in
achieving.[b]
