Western society is not set up to nurture intelligent children and adults, the way it dotes over athletes and sports figures, especially the outstanding ones. While we have the odd notable personality such as Albert Einstein, we also have many extremely intelligent people working in occupations that are considered among the lowliest, as may be attested by a review of the membership lists of Mensa (the club for the top two percent on intelligence scales).

Smart people make the customers look stupid. That's bad for business. Make people feel bad about being smart, put them in shitty jobs, and intimidate them so they don't breed. Oh, our society's failing? MUST NOT BE A CONNECTION, YO.

Hollywood movies do not count as reality.

Can you compare those two movies though? One was a film parodying real life events and the other was a fictional story about a genius janitor.

Yes I can compare them because they are both Hollywood movies.

That's like comparing March of the Penguins and Natural Born Killers. Sure, both are Hollywood movies and should be taken with a grain of salt, but they are in completely different categories.

I'm just telling you that that statement is not necessarily true, since some Hollywood movies are documentaries, and obviously do "count as reality".

That's true, however we are comparing two different categories of movies. One parodied events that actually happened. One is fictional. Now, whether or not Fahrenheit 9/11 is a truthful movie is another story. However, the fact remains that the events parodied in the movie actually happened.
