There are 10 reviews but 47 votes? Don't trust the rating...... I recently saw the movie BS High, and I have to say, it left me underwhelmed. It's evident that big media is trying to portray itself as the best, even if that means over-dramatizing the leaders of a fake high school.
HBO has a reputation for doing this kind of thing, and in my opinion, it's a waste of time. Although the movie had its share of exciting moments, overall, it felt like they were trying too hard to make it seem like something it wasn't.
I enjoy a good drama as much as the next person, but when it's so clearly fabricated, it takes away from the real emotion and impact of the story. That's what bothered me the most about BS High - it was so obviously trying to manipulate me into feeling a certain way.
Ultimately, we must remember that not everything we see on TV or in movies is real. We must be able to discern what's genuine and what's not, and not be swayed by flashy production values or big names attached to a project.
At the end of the day, it's the stories that truly touch our hearts and souls that are worth our time and attention. The rest is just noise sadly...
