Why do we need stories at all? With all the excitement available in contemporary life, why do people watch plays, films, and television shows that create an imaginary world? Isn't the real world stimulating enough, without imagining other ones?
I think we need stories b/c in many ways it is theraputic and an escape from reality. Many people believe that in the real life there are so many things, which is true but, exciting, I don't think is the right words to use. Sure some thing in life can be exciting, but overall life is filled with stress and worries. Now days many people don't have jobs people are losing their houses, we have cheating boyfriends, boyfriends who don't listen or don't want to understand. In television and film it shows you our innermost fanstasies. Many girls wish to have that guy the isn't perfect but that at the same time is almost perfect and that cares and speaks his mind and is outgoing and fun and romantic at the same time. Seeing that on tv i believe allows us to have this hope even if its a false hope b/c what we see in tv isn't always true but it allows us to keep going and be positive b/c it then makes us feel like someone like that is really out there. I for example love the vampire genre even before twilight. If you got to know me better you see how all my books are about them and I do alot of research to find out if there is any truth, but because I do believe. And the reason why I believe is because of movies. Sure we are taught in life what is not real and what may be evil. But seeing those creatures on television or films it gives us hope that not everything that is supposed to be evil that it is and in my perpective I have grown to believe due to films and television that we might not be the only ones out there. Films take us to places not physically but mentally, it creates such an extraordinary emotion not like an emotion we get from someone else its different. It's a fascination. it is something that takes us away from our problems and expends our believes and mental horizons.
I truly believe we need plays, movies and films because as much as how we think our lives are filled with drama, it really isn't. Lets face it how many times in our lives do we smash our boyfriends window out, or try to commit suicide and turn around finding God or simply live the cinderella story? We rarely do. So if it is by watching it on the big screen that excite us then let it be. If we all were the same and did the same things; life would filled with a whole lot of living deads. This is the purpose of movies and plays to excite us and give us the enthusiam of living, then I guess...A Job well done
I think we need movies, music and films to keep us entertained in our daily lives. This gives a feel of what the real world looks like! Movies and films show us a sense of reality and we can learn a lot from them. In the real world we come across a lot of circumstances and obstacles and we try to seek help but may end up getting nothing but that's not the case when it comes to movies and films, we gain a lot than what we expect!
Well in my opinion I watch tv and movies to relax and get away from this "wonderful" world, as they call it. Like yaviany said people don't like to face reality they like to watch the made up fairytale that the stories make up. Watching plays, drama and so fourth gives people that peace of mind for that hour or two. Trust me the more people stay away from the "reality" of life and bills, the more happier they are. The stories helps people imagine great posibilities for their life and sometimes even help them think of the bigger picture rather than the little one. Stories are made up, yes, but the story lines are sometimes story lines of what's going on in reality which also helps people relate.-Latoya mcnally
I think we as people use plays and movies as self-release valves. Humans carry a lot of baggage, stress and hard-ache. So it’s nice to have a stress reliever like a good movie or a good play to get your minds off things. Light bill, mortgage, cable bill, utility, and insurance are just a few worries we face as humans. Sometimes it’s nice to go to an imaginary world and believe is something mystical, because our world, at times, become too much to handle. Richardson
As technology advances we learned to adjust to it, and make it essential in our everyday life. Honestly, I don’t think we need any type of entertainment that this world has to offer, if we devolved ourselves we will see how all we really need is food, clothing, a roof over our head and water. In the early days there were other forms of entertainment yet these people were perfectly satisfied, well today you have a range of choice for entertainment. As people continued to enjoy these entertainment it developed into a habit and soon became imperative in their daily live.
I think that we need plays, movies, and tv. It helps in many ways. These things can be an escape to other worlds releiving us of stresses and circumstances in our possesion. They can also bring enlightenment, joy, and happiness. imagery from these also gifts us with awareness. Watching from other points of view helps us to understand that life is what you make it, or brings revelation that you are not alone, and even influences your future endeavors. Plays, movies, and tv shows are a valuable tool and its whether or not you use them wise that they will benefit you for the better.
i think we need movie and film to help us scape from our real world.for instance ,sometime life could take us where we don't want to be, another for us to scape it, is to find something else to entertain us.
Darel... Stories are our way of exploring our own imagination. They're so many different types, like stories of the past, present, and future. Realistic and imaginary stories like ying and yang can be a get away for our minds. When we view or listen ot stories of the past its like a bridge through time. We learn and communicate through the past. Wheather its their traditions or style of living we learn and enjoy them. Another resaon is the art, the ways of the past may be different but its not as different as we think. Bottom line is that stories provide entertainment both visual and vocal.
I belive people need stories as a form of entertainment. For some people, that are truly passionate about theatre they may watch teleision shows or plays that creates an imaginary world as a stress reliever. Because they may be having a rough day at work or just in there daily life,and waching tv or plays may be there only way of escaping reality and threfore causing you to become in a more peaceful and relaxed state. Yes the real world is stimulating enough but as previously stated it may be a form of therapy to relax the mind
The world does simulate enough, but the thing is entertainment is not real in a sense that it is not intended to harm. Things that happen in plays TV shows, and movies are dramatic and can virtually cover any topic, even things that cannot be seen in real life or would be harmful in real life, and therefore movies, tv shows and plays are needed.
we need stories to tell about what happen back in the day and for entertainment purpose. people watch plays and film to say i went to a play or because there is more to see then just a tv box. the real world is that simulating in my opions

I feel that having plays are good because you are up close and personal. While watching a film you just react what happens in the movie.
