Were the schemes in movies and novels exaggerated? Were there people in reality who would do anything for benefits? Was the world really that terrifying?

I can understand your feelings, but movies and novels are two different things from the real world. We shouldn't use the plots and characters in movies and novels as the standard of the real world. In real life, we need to uphold the quality of conscience and kindness, and strive to pursue our dreams instead of being driven by interests to fight for power and status by hook or by crook.
