Liar Liar Commandments

It is seen through various movies that the ten commandments have a vital role in the development of their plot, action, and related matter thereof. The commandments, however, differ in severity from an inconsequential tidbit to the entire premise and scheme of the movie. From what was gathered, movies which have a commandment broken usually centralize the commandment as a main element in the movie or a major detail. For example, the entire movie of “Liar Liar” focuses on the breaking of the eighth commandment. On the other hand, movies which have a commandment followed usually treat it as a minor aspect of the movie; this can be seen in the “Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” as whether or not Gollum was spared was irrelevant to the plot. The reasoning

behind the accentuation of sins is likely due to the same reason why news takes interest on tragedies and killings--the “bad things”--are more compelling and intriguing to the reader or viewer.
Despite the fact movies favor immoral principles to create their plot, the commandments are case specific and the movies are not intended to teach a lesson. Take for instance “The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”, the movie, although being based on Tus’ covetousness, is really intended to tell the story of an honorable prince Dastan who uses an artifact to save the people he loves. Additionally, the movies are usually established in the efforts of entertaining the audience rather than to encourage the breaking the commandments or following them, there are some instance that movies are created in order to convey or influence a specific theme to the reader, but these movies do not have to directly deal with the commandments as a part of their theme. With all things considered, the commandments have a large role in the movie industry no matter how direct or indirectly they are used and their use varies differently depending on the circumstance of the movie.
