Battleship

Movie night has become such a regular occurrence with my fellow refugees, they are starting to take it very seriously.  They were adamant that we see the film “Battleship” thinking it was somehow a document of our own failed invasion attempt.  It took considerable effort to convince them otherwise.  They are slowly coming around to the notion of films being works of fiction, as they still do not have a firm grasp on human art forms.  Not only are they slow to understand the level of verisimilitude in art, they are even slower to the concept of quality.  The general perception is that the facts are up on screen and therefore must be true.  I could not even convince them that The Avengers are a construct of artistic imagination.  I suppose I was equally naïve about human culture when I first arrived here.  Those were such innocent times.  I will admit it is a lot easier to accept that The Avengers are real.  I am not entirely convinced that they are not.
