War fiction often reflects soldiers' real - life experiences through vivid descriptions. For example, it might show the fear they feel in combat, like in 'All Quiet on the Western Front' where the main character is constantly in a state of dread.

The movie 'Contagion' based on a true story reflects real - life situations in multiple ways. Firstly, it shows the origin of the virus, which might be from animals and then transmitted to humans, similar to some real - life outbreaks. Secondly, the social unrest and breakdown of order that occurs as the contagion spreads is very much like what could happen in reality. People become desperate and start to break the law in order to survive. Also, the way the scientific community races against time to develop a treatment is also a reflection of real - life scientific efforts during a pandemic.
It shows the disorganization. In real - life, some small - scale terrorist cells are not as well - coordinated as they might seem, just like in 'Four Lions' where the characters constantly mess up their plans.
