  1. It is danger of depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information because the movie might change some of the part that does really happened during that time.People that watched the movie might think that according to the movie, the information of it might be true.In addition to that,the imporsonator may not act correctly according to the real life of the actual person.This can lead to an insult towards the real person family.Most of the information inside the internet could be a fake information.To get to a real information,people must find the true information from the eye witness that occured at the sence.

  2. It is danger depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information because we do not know whether the movie had really happened or not because they may change the original movie to some other movie by changing some parts to the movie to something else.We cannot know. WHen people watch some movie example this movie "Fearless", they might think its true bacause they just watch but do not know the real movie. But only some of the information is true like in this movie the actor know how to fight and fight with other people it is true. but some of the information is false.
    So do not trust fully on internet.

  3. It is danger depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information because people will thought that the movie is the true story. if they know that it was false one they will have a fight with the person who did the movie because it is a way of cheating the people who watch 'fearless'. they also will thought that thing in the television is false one and they will start not to believed or watch the television and by using the computer then television because they think that since the television show don't want to tell me the true story i will go and find it myself.

  4. It is danger depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information because we,people will thought that the movie they watch example "fearless" is a true movie.But if they found out the truth that actually the movie was a false one,they could actually charge the producer of the movie by fliming as posing false information.'These' people would also find the truth on internet but if they do not trust the internet,they could actually ask some witness(primary source)that witness it.They could also get the information on magazines and story books.Story book should be reliable.

  7. It is danger depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information is because when we are enjoying the exciting scenes of the movie,very naturally we will think that the scenes were real and true.For example,the movie "fearless",the scene where how Huo Yuan Jia died and he has no descendants.But in real life he had died in the other way which i am not sure in and he has decendants.From this information above,i can infer that most of the director changes some of the fact to make the movie interesting and to attract people to watch,hence we cannot depend on movies for reliable source for historical information.

  8. it makes us believe a fact which isnt true. to me,i think the danger lies when movies that are partially true and the characters are still living, it may upset the person or even a arguement may break out. it is also unfair to the person as the whole story is being modified just to make it more interesting.for me, i would rather watch a true life story show.at least i would not have the wrong idea of the whiole story and start talking about it and the whole world would come to know about it. thus everybody would start gossiping about something that isnt true.

  9. It is danger depending on movies as a reliable source for historical information is because it is the same meaning as believing something which is not true. They changed information just to attract more attention such as viewers. If this situation continue, people will really thought that this is true while some disagree and argument happens. As i said, arguments my happens, gossip may even break out.
    This is why we cannot really depend on movies for reliable source for historical information.

    Thank you.

  10. It is dangerous to depend on movies as reliable sources for historical informations as most of the information given are not true. Hence when people believe in such sources they tend to get the wrong information. people can edit the videos by adding more "fake" details so that it may look more interesting and gain more viewers. Each viewer has their own opinions against the movies, hence, when they share their comments they might be disapproval to others in one opinions. By this people will start to argue and there will be a big commotion going on in the net. this is why we should not depend on movies as a reliable source for historical sources.

    Thanks

  11. most of the video that is historican,are some reliable,which everyone knew the story.But some of the story which is not popular & unknown by most people.
    likewise research on the story & news see if it is fiction or non-friction.
    Most of the storys are link and similar to the past storys.

  12. Depending movie for historical information is not the best.As movies can changed some of the part in the events and could also add-in story to the plot and making it not true.Some of the directors may also not know the true events that happened.So this may be the results why they change some of the story plots.We can do some research to confirm the event that happened to clear our doubts.
