|    Film as escapism    |

      From: ggggg9271@gmail.com              According to this:              - And there’s a reason escapism resonates with viewers. While cinema is       capable of helping us directly confront various aspects of our world in a       powerful way, it’s far more popular as an avenue of distraction. The movies       that let an audience forget        everything outside a theater are, almost without exception, far more popular       than those that remind us of what we’d rather ignore for a while so that we       can feel a rush. Of course, the best films can both provide an escape and say       something meaningful        about life, and Brazil does so with a delightfully off-kilter style.              http://moviemezzanine.com/history-of-film-terry-gilliams-brazil/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
