Movies are an escape.

Some may be surprised to know that the Hollywood of the 1930s became what it was because of the Great Depression...and that Hollywood, in a sense led the way for the Hollywood we have today. Back then in the 30s and 40s it was the Golden Era today it is the Blockbuster Era.

Movies became what they were in the 30s, as a means of mental escape for just a few hours. Because of the effects of the Depression, it gave people a chance to enjoy something in the gloomy world they had to live in. And even after the Depression ended, the effects of movies stayed.

To this day, movies are still an escape from this world. An escape from politics, war, violence, etc. It is sad when some people try to ruin that glory by involving those things in movies.

But the beauty is that one can (for the most part) choose the movies they will allow themselves to watch.
