Answer 1

What fascinates me about this is movies. Someone can build a whole world inside their head. They create characters, who move how they want, say what they want, and have back stories and motivations that we, the observer, have never experienced but somehow understand.

Then they convince other people to act it out in exchange for essentially goods and services in this world. That is captured on film and shown to us. Like, we can literally watch someone else’s dreams, if they’re good enough at this.

I don’t understand how anybody can achieve this! But I love movies and I’m so grateful for other worlds, and other people’s dreams
