I love movies

    I really do not know why I love to watch movies. I guess I like to be entertained, but some time I like to be entrained with movies that depresses me, makes me sad or makes me anxious. I was trying to figure out why I like so much to watch movies and I came with the conclusion that I like to see how other people carry their lives and how they live, how they think, how do they reflect over the issues.  I some times see movies as a window, a passage to the world of another person, actually another world, with different perspectives, priorities, values. Another time movies are passage to lives, ideas so similar to mine that I feel identified with them. For example, I felt a lot of empathy with Ada McGrath, the character that interpreted Holly Hunter in The Piano. I also felt empathy with the character that Juianne  Moore  in The Hours.  Movies are I way to communicate each others about how we feel and that we can learn about feelings we did not know about or we can feel empathy about those movies that talk about somethings that we have experienced too.
