escaping into movies, into pockets of reality, tales, webs of fiction, spun, caught, captured, enraptured, or less of a passive voice, suspended disbelief, a willing acceptance of screen truth, of characters, of situations, histories and world structures, an immersion in a different world, and that as a skill set? a talent, innate, ingrained, tested, honed and developed. but for what? to what end? for what use? i imagine theater, to become a character, developed by another, or better improv, to accept the new reality as it forms around you, but only if it's done well, and maybe there is no transferable skill, no translatable ability from watching movies, and enjoying movies, and understanding movies, and getting movies, to real, or "real" live. oh well.
