First Idea - Other Worlds/ Entertainment

I might as well put this here, considering that ive had this idea for a while now.

The idea is :

People watch/read/play movies/novels/stories/anime/games because they are bored with their lives or dislike it.

When people watch a movie and immerse themselves into another world they temporarily forget about their real lives. It also explains why people get pissed when the real world interrupts a movie.

Alot of people generally find the entertainment the only thing to look forward to in their lives. From this i would say that the worlds seen in forms of entertainment are more interesting than the real lives.

Also the type of entertainment that a person view may also indicate what a person wants more out of life. E.g A person who watches alot of action movies will most likely want more action in their own lives.

However, would life be worth living without these forms of entertainment ? Or would people follow their wildest dreams with this world ending up completely different as we know it? However , i suppose the entertainment lets up simulating our dreams without getting hurt or much negative consequences.

Thats basically it .
If you havent realised already , i have really bad english when it comes to explaining things like this.
If i read it again in maybe a month i probably wont be able to understand it unless i still remember my original ideas -_-


On a later note, this is actually part of the concept of Escapism - which i never heard of until much later after this post was originally typed. Hooray for realising it on my own.
Surprising how much society strives to escape society o_O
