Question

What are examples of hyperboles in movies?

Answer 1

Hint: Hyperbole is a figure of speech.It is an exaggeration or an overstatement.
Example: She ran like greased lightning.

Complete answer:
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that elicits a strong emotional response by making an exaggerated or extravagant comment. It is not meant to be taken literally as a figure of speech. Hyperbolic statements are exaggerations meant to illustrate an argument rather than to be taken literally. For example, in the hyperbolic statement "My backpack weighs a tonne," the speaker neither believes nor intends the listener to believe the backpack weighs a tonne. The backpack-wearer clearly wants to convey, by hyperbole, that he or she is carrying a substantial load.

Hyperbole is often used in the media and by the advertising industry (which may then be described as hype or media hype).

Examples of hyperboles in movies are:
"I'll never be hungry again, as God is my witness," Scarlett O'Hara says in Gone with the Wind.
"Anyone can have a brain, after all. That's a pretty mediocre product. Every pusillanimous creature crawling on the surface of the Earth or slinking through slimy seas has a brain" (Wizard of Oz in The Wizard of Oz).

Note: Remember that distinguishing between hyperbole and simile can be difficult at times. A simile is a figure of speech that contrasts two dissimilar objects to make a representation more vivid and engaging. A simile is also characterised by the writer's use of the terms "like" or "as" to create the analogy that he or she wishes to make.
