What's really going on
You and I are about to see a new film.
The lights dim, and our attention is focused on the screen. The story begins.
Soon we are lost in a make-believe world. As the characterizations take hold, we form opinions about the people—good, bad, comic, tragic. Then the troubles of the dramatic characters lead to violence, and suddenly I realize that we are not as happy as we were when we entered the theater. I glance over at you; I notice a hint of tears, so I nudge you and say, "Remember, this isn't really happening; it's only a movie!"
