The first example that comes to mind is “Lucy” and “Regions of Darkness”. The films revolve around the myth that the brain only works at a small number of percent of its total power. Luc Besson even said that he knew that this theory was nonsense, but he really liked it. “Lucy”, by the way, turned out to be so-so, but this is no longer on the topic.
Almost all films teach us false truths: that the world is fair, that good always wins, that everything makes sense and was made for something, that if you wait, endure and believe, you will definitely achieve the desired result, and so on. Movies are always more beautiful, storytelling, and “happy-ending” than reality. And because humans are extremely trusting (for almost the entire history of the human species, we didn't have movies, and people believed everything they saw with their own eyes), we are beginning to believe that life really works that way. On the one hand, it doesn't seem so bad to believe in good, but faith in a just world can lead us to disastrous, if not fatal, results.
