A way to escape

People are always indulged in their fantasy worlds. Movies, video games, and books portray fantasy universes that allow us to escape reality and live in this imaginary world. These stories could have no connection to real life, like Star Wars, and people still become involved as if it were real. Many fantasy stories revolve around real scenarios. Star Wars may be set in space and almost everything is fantasy, but there are many scenes in which people can relate. There are many love connections in the Star Wars movies. Also, in today’s society everyone is familiar with war. Even though our wars aren’t in space (at least not yet), it still relates to something real.

                People can relate to the main characters in the fantasy stories. When someone becomes involved or engrossed in there story, they become the hero, the enemy, the lover, which ever character they choose. Everyone need to escape the stress of the real world. Whether is stress at work or stress from school, leaving it all behind and slipping into a good read or cuddling up to a good movie is an easy way to relieve the stress. Personally, I enjoy sticking a good fantasy movie on and letting my mind go blank just so I can have a few peaceful moments from my everyday burdens.
