Why Do We Love Movies?

We all need illusions. That is why we love movies.

-Monica Belucci

If you ask me, that is totally true. We all need some kind of illusion in our lives. There is always something what is wrong with our lives. There is always something what is missing, something what we do not like about our lives. And, of course, something what we cannot change.

Things that we can not change

When you cannot change something, you should not try to. You should not waste your time, money, energy on trying to do what you cannot do. That is why, you should focus on things that you can change.

Of course, you sometimes cannot just let all the things, that you cannot change, go. It is not naturally to turn your head from all the things that are not as you would love them to be. Because of that, we need some illusions. We need to believe that it will be better, that it will be okay, that is will be fine at the end. Even, if it is not. For you is good to believe in good things. Maybe they are not about to happen, they are not going to happen, they are not going even to be 'on a map', but you will feel better.

Those things are usually not crucial for your life. But, for example, if you are feeling bad aobut wars that are happening in the world, you can believe in peace, you can believe that in the future we will have peace. Your hope will not change the situation, but it will make you feel better. Your positivity, and your illusin will not hurt anybody. Because of that believe! Just believe!

Dreams

We usually do not have all we want. And, I am pretty sure that there is not a person, who has all what she would love to have. It is normal to dream about things that you do not have. Dreams are one kind of illusions. You are dreaming about things that you would love to have. They can help you to get what you want. They can always be there, like some kind of your goal, of your inspiration and motivation. Something what will keep you on your way to the top. Something what will pull you forward.

That is why dreams, or illusions, call them however you want to, are important. And good for us. Illusions are sometimes good for us. It is a illusion, untill you get it. If you do not have it in your hands and you dream of it, it is a kind of illusion.

Why do we love movies?

There are many kinds of movies and many kinds of movie characthers. That is why we love them. Some of us would love to be like the hero from the movie, somene would love to live in a wonderful society from the movie, and some of us are grateful because they do not live in horrible societies from some other movies.

Movies are good for us. Movies are showing us many situations, many ways, many solutions... They are illusions, but they are useful. They are and they should be.

Dreams, movies, illusions are somewhere between 'want' and 'have'. They are there to show and to lead. They are there to give support and to comfort. Enjoy them.

See you next time,
