In the movies, when someone is shot directly in the head, they die instantaneously. How true is that? Also, why is it that we die so quickly from something entering our brain?

Depends on where you are shot. Famously Phineas Gage had a railroad spike go through his head and survived (although his personality was changed). Some parts of your brain control really important things like breathing. It would be bad if you were shot there. The brain also uses a lot of blood. You could pretty quickly bleed out.
