Would a person actually think that something they saw in a movie was in any way real.

Sources:
Been living in Japan 7 years now. They really are very naive.

Wrong. Plenty of people in America thought that the Fargo movie was an actual true story. Try again.

There's nothing the least bit funny about stealing a meal from Neal McBeal the Navy SEAL.

I actually just came here to talk *beep*

Anyways. What I should have included in my original post was that only in Japan would they act on it thinking they'd actually find the treasure

The character clearly had trouble with reality. Mental illness is all it takes to explain the plot.

When the Blair Witch Project first came out, lots of Americans thought it was real.

Those Americans are idiots. If Blair witch was real, it would basically be a snuff film. So if they actually thought it was real, they need a slap across the face.

It would be nothing like a snuff film. You need to look up what a snuff film actually is....you're way off.

Snuff film is a video recording showing actual death.

reply

Wrong. A snuff film is essential murder porn. It is someone being killed on film for the pleasure of the person filming it or for the pleasure of its intended audience.

"a video recording showing actual death," as you put it, isn't a snuff film.

If you were watching Blair witch for the real deaths, you are obviously watching it for entertainment, right?

Even in the fictitious world where The Blair Witch somehow is real, no, it's still not a snuff film because they filmed it themselves, not with the intention of filming their own deaths for pleasure.

Google.com - a pornographic movie of an actual murder.

Dictionary.com - a pornographic film that shows an actual murder of one of the performers, as at the end of a sadistic act.

They filmed it themselves, ok. However, someone released it and charged money to see it

Please show me your source.

Simple Definition: a movie which shows actual murder or suicide.

If the Blair witch was real and showed actual murdered people. It would be a snuff film.

The question you asked in your original post clearly shows your lack of understanding of the movie, and the human state of mind. But I am not surprised that a person with the word "gamer" in their username, is asking such a question. I usually associate stupidity with such usernames.
