American Movies do not attempt to show the lives of all the people of the United States. Many movies contain some truth. But even a movie that deals with true subjects represents the ideas of the person who wrote it, the people who acted in it and the person who directed it. Over the years, some Americans have tried to ban some kinds of movies. These include movies that are violent or show people having sexual relations. People have taken legal action to stop such movies. But court decisions have said that the right to make any kind of movie is protected by the part of the United States Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech. In the United States, people have the right to produce a bad movie or write a bad book. People who make movies try to provide entertainment and excitement. However, entertainment and excitement often have nothing to do with the real world. |
