Paparazzi

Watching the movie paparazzi made me realize never to believe everything you see and read in the papers. What you see is not always what it is as there's an even bigger story behind a small picture or a scene on the news. Most of the times, what we read are true, but mostly than not, they're just bloated stories out of innocent incidents. That's what journalists are good at - making mountains out of mole hills.

The movie also showed how some people can be very greedy of fame and money. It doesn't matter how many people they hurt, (or almost got killed as depicted here) as long as they get what they want, in this case, the pictures - whether they may be gory or gross or explicit. Because these pictures gain our interest, these paparazzis do all they can to get them. And it's sad to note that it's not really the paparazzi's fault that they thirst to get these kind of pictures. It's our fault! It's we, the masses who buy these magazines that give these paparazzis the will and the thirst to look for revealing pictures more and more. Sad but true. Coz if we don't buy these magazines, nobody will buy the pictures they've taken. And coz they can't get money, then they would stop taking shots. And then there'd be no paparazzi. Easier said than done though. Doesn't work in the real world.

Makes me even wonder more... What really happened to Princess Di?
