Have you guys thought for a moment that the emotional reaction to the film was because of their emotional attachment/concern for/engagement with the real world?
no, I've thought that their emotional reacation was their attachment to fantasy and their inability to move outside of the fantasy world. I might have emotional reactions to a movie, and that doesn't mean it's great filmmaking, but once I stand up out of my seat, the real world is kind of hard to miss.

People and their stupid grass is greener complex.
