Why do we like movies so much? According to psychologist and sociologists, a good move does a lot for us. They help us to escape the realities of everyday problems, care and worries while taking us on a brief mental journey into another life where dreams are made possible. We tend to briefly live through the characters, the plot and stories we watch through the power of imagination.
Movies also have to power t educate. Many true stories are filled with conventional tidbits of wisdom that could help if you are facing the same situations and circumstances as the lead character. As an example, movies such as A Home of Our Own, starring Kathy Bates, portrayed what it was like to live in the trappings of steep poverty in America and how to maintain your integrity as a human being.
True stories are filled with valuable life lessons. They are not all about slashing and dicing, but about the same problems we all face at on time or another. As such, we tend to emotionally connect with the characters and what they are going through; all the while introspectively evaluating our own real life events.
Everyone can relate to a true story that is carefully reproduced and acted out by an outstanding set actors and actresses. The events surrounding the story, the time of year, the nature of the circumstances and the movie prognosis - all form an emotional connection as we sometimes laugh and cry as certain scenes are played out.
