The mood, the entertainment, the emotions...
I don't know wether it's due to my heart being a gentle soul or the fact that I'm a girl and we have a lot of hormones...or it could be just down to the genes I'm made up from. But for me going to the cinema or the theatre is a rollercoaster...when it comes to emotions at least.
Depending on what film or performance you go to see, you can experience love, passion, anger, fear, amusement, and of course sadness...all within the space of a couple of hours! When you think about it, all of them emotions you have just experienced is a bit like the emotions you could feel over a two year relationship...which in my opinion is pretty impressive to say the least. The ability to manipulate your feelings, to apply it to the current situations of the main character. Not to mention you could do it all over again the following day or even the following week. Learning a new story everytime, through observing other's lives (well, acted out lives). Experiencing all of that through emotions, basically without the actual impact of drama of it all.
It's all pretty incredible...but of course if we only ever lived through films and performances, then we'd never really allow ourselves the chance to actually live. Which you know, is what life is really about. Living, experiencing, feeling. Let's be honest though...It's perfect if you need an escape for a hour or two.
