We love movies because they let us escape. But we are not escaping from reality as much as we are escaping into a clearer, more focused understanding of it. The movies we cherish the most are not those that feel the farthest from our experience. On the contrary, they are the ones that- in the darkness and stillness of a square, box room- reanimate the wonder and mystery of the world we know.
