Why Do We Love Film?

They can range from a dark avenger stopping criminals and pursuing justice, or a girl who gets lost in a magical world and with the aid of a scarecrow, safely returns home, or even a Philadelphia meat packer coming through the ranks and becoming a great boxer. Films are amazing two-hour long trips we can take to different times, different locations and even different worlds. The question is, why do we love this so much?

Movies can relax you they can cheer you up and they can sometimes even depress you. Hollywood gets a lot of flak for some of the movies that they put out. But the thing is, Hollywood, and films in general of all genres give you a unique opportunity. They give you the opportunity to escape from reality and enter a world all your own. So no matter what kind of film you like, they all serve the same purpose.

As for me, I watch films to forget all of my worries and troubles for a while. I get to focus on a completely different scenario from what I am living in, and enjoy watching it. Maybe sometimes a loved one or friends aren’t there to cheer you up. Maybe you are looking for something to cheer you up, but cannot find something. Rest assured in knowing that no matter if you feel like no one is there for you or not, movies are always there to help us, through the good, and the bad. That is why I believe that we all need movies. We all need an ability to get into a spaceship and go to Mars, or sail in a ship to a new land. We all need our Hollywood Heroes.
