My other posts have been about how Physics relates to our everyday life, however, this one will be a bit different. Something that has long bothered me is the abuse of Physics for the sake of entertainment in the Hollywood industry. Attached below is a link to a scene from Fast and Furious 6, a movie that blatantly disobeys the basic rules of Physics and denies the existence of factors such as gravity, resistance, external forces and greater kinetic energy in moving objects with more mass as compared to those with less.
There seriously needs to be a reform in our entertainment industry, to rid our movies of irrational fantasy in the form of high-octane silly car chases and unrealistic fight choreography. True, these things are fun to watch, but they are also delusional and could potentially warp forever a naive individual's understanding of Physics.
Here's the link to Fast and Furious 6:
Not leaving its inspiration far behind, the Indian film industry (Bollywood) has learnt much from Hollywood. Here's a ridiculously corny fight scene from a film where we see a police officer single-handedly annihilate an entire gang of culprits AND destroy their car.
Attached is a screen-shot of comments people left for that clip. So, I know I'm not the only one agitated by this mockery of science. #EndPhysicsAbuse
