far-fetched stunts and special effects take us out of the action. The audience becomes desensitised to the computer generated images as ’all is construction and fabulation......nothing natural remains ’ (Dixon‚ 2002: 359).

In the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers‚ Lieutenant Carroll‚ the first leader the soldiers have in the novel‚ said‚ “’My father used to call soldiers angel warriors‚ because usually they get boys to fight wars.

refuse to take itself even remotely seriously in order to be accepted by the masses. American audiences can accept Tom Cruise breaking into a highly secured vault‚ but Cameron Diaz doing the same thing must be presented as a campy joke.” – Scott Mendelson discussing Charlie’s Angels back in 2000 for his college newspaper.
