Lies that movies taught us...

So recently I started thinking about all the lies that movies taught us. The first and most important one being: repeatedly turning down and being a bitch to Ryan Gosling and Freddie Prinze Jr. will not only make him continue to pursue you, but also fall in love with you. I learned this from every movie Ryan Gosling has ever made (except for maybe Half Nelson) and from She's All That starring Freddie P. Jr.

But this isn't the only lie that I grew up believing. There's the ponytail lie, which was also most evident in She's All That (again, see above). This is the lie that tells us that merely cutting off a ponytail, removing glasses and putting some makeup on will make even the ugliest of creatures turn into a beauty queen. This is a lie for 2 reasons.

#1 All the girls this has ever happened to in movies (Rachel Leigh Cook, Brittany Murphy in Clueless, Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, Kristen Bell in You Again, Elphaba in Wicked) are actually BEAUTIFUL to begin with. Even with a falafel on her head RL Cook still looks pretty hot. So this is simply teaching us that covering up beautiful people in heinous ponytails, glasses, eyebrows and no makeup can be undone with a quick makeover and they will once again be beautiful.

#2 People that are actually unattractive and headstrong are not going to accept a makeover or for that matter be offered a makeover by some hottie who knows all the right moves. PONYTAIL LIE, you've been mythbusted.

SO I made a list of a few more... If you can think of any more lies movies taught us then please leave a note/ comment!
