As they say, watching movies is an attempt to escape reality, and yes, I agree. Filmmaking is an art; and art – at least for me and what I chose to believe – transcends reality. That’s the beauty of art: it does not only reflect the concrete realities of life, but also explores its complex hypothetical side. And most of the time, it is this hypothetical side that keeps us entertained – as curiosity often tickles our imaginations.
Although it may sound contemptible to some, but I would say that, yes, I watch movies to escape reality – to a much deeper or even greater reality. The reality of our inner life. To further illustrate, one of my favorite movies is the Korean film ‘Parasite’ which powerfully depicts the truth we often shy away from. And how this film was able to illustrate the truth about social inequality, class struggle, and complexity of human relationships is no doubt, a masterpiece of art. This is the deeper or greater ‘inner’ reality I want to escape to when watching movies.
