And the forget the point that “It’s just a movie” and also one more thing is that there comes a certain desire or craving to have a life like that character. For example after watching investigation or spy movies I feel wow I should be a spy or be in that place. And if nothing of this then too the thoughts of a film I liked linger around for days in my head.
We are not made up of a single piece. There are many different parts in us that are normally suppressed. These parts sometimes express themselves through fantasy or imagination especially in creative people. It is these suppressed parts that sometimes step into the forefront and push our imagination. In fact very often these parts get exhausted subjectively in this way.
Affectionately,
