Nowadays, watching some films, unconsciously, influences our ways of
life
. As everything in
life
 is like a coin that has two different sides, people must think before jumping to the conclusion that what we see on TV is true. It is shown in movies, during these

To begin
 with, we always must keep in mind that the people behind the screen are actors,
hence
 their job consists of pretending to be someone else almost all the time. So what we watch is almost never true, but constructed by someone else. For

 we can’t think to reach the perfection
that is
 shown in the movies.
Moreover
, the actors themselves in the real
life
 do have not the perfect

 of the characters who interpret.
Secondly
, the ideals presented are usually similar in all the tv series : being rich means having a good
life
.
This
 idea is dangerous for the young, because they may understand that without money it is impossible to be satisfied in a lifetime. Obviously,
that is
 not true, but it is an oversimplified way to see
life
, which is more complex because there are several aspects that allow us to be eager. In conclusion, it is impossible not to be influenced by some ideals and dream about a serene and perfect
life
 that our favourite characters have, but we always have to face the reality and recognize it, even if continuous advertising wants to give us some models to follow.
