Why do we watch movies or read books? Is it an escape from reality, into fantasy?
Some would say that it's about relating one self in various environments and situations. Is this kind of media good? Yes, you have a better sense in language and you might learn things. But then again, isn't books and movies setting some kind of unwritten rules to how to live life, starting with something every simple, blowing up to a big complicated bubble and then in the end, though the earth just exploded and you are floating through dark space alone, there is some kind of happy ending?
I realized I should stop comparing real life with fiction, no matter how realistic it sounds. Fiction is man made crap, while life is a twist of destiny, faith and will power. Though generally both sucks in the end...
Readers be aware of that this post excludes any sort of fact books or learning documentaries, strict fantasy and fiction.

watching movies I think passing time not for escaping :-s
reading books may be for sometimes learning-sometimes for amusement-sometimes for passing time :-s
