why we watch films

i'll start off by saying that I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Entertainment forum, dont get anal on me please.****


What is it about watching a movie that has enthralled us for so many years? What is it about watching other's personal affairs unfold before our eyes, watching closely, being involved, but with an undetectible presence. Its as if we watch movies to fill that unavoidable, ultimately human longing to not be alone, taking on the role as a friend of the characters close enough to be into their most significant affairs, yet not even being there at all. It's a very lazy friendship, if you ask me.
When you get down to the matter at hand, our little fetish of watching films is no more than voyeurism.
