Going back to what I said in the previous post about pros and cons, the subject of this article is not exempt from them. It is very true that movies tend to tell tall tales about the bad things about social media that are also true themselves so I agree with that statement. It is a good thing that movies are letting the public know about things such as these because it can also tie into other problems like self-esteem issues. So in that sense it is a very good thing about putting the problems into light. The bad thing is exactly that though: cinemas focus only on the bad. This mean people don't see the good things of social media like people being able to reach out when there are no other forms of communication available. That's just one pro, there are others like finding friends and having good relationships with them, share funny videos with those friends and/ or other friends, find out you really like a certain game show, the pros are endless just as the cons are. It's because of things like this that cause parent to ban their kids from social media and give platforms a bad rep. That's my only issue with it.
Brad’s Status: why is cinema obsessed with the dark side of social media?
