escapism...

we all watch movies/films, is it to escape our lives for a few hours or because we search for meanings to our life, to find the values and respect that we don't have in our relationships, is it to find out about our past, our history, to see what has made us the way we are.
Is it to explain why we are who we are, what we do, is it like a therapy for ourselves, a secret pat on the back an explanation as to what we feel.

Do we need a hero in our life?  Is the hero in the film what we need? Can we not be our own hero?  Would life not become what we want it to be, if we stood up and accounted for our actions and took our responsibilities seriously instead of looking to others?
