People often seek escapism in movies and pictures as a means to momentarily detach from the pressures and realities of everyday life. These forms of media offer a gateway to alternate worlds, where individuals can immerse themselves in compelling narratives, fantastical settings, and larger-than-life characters.
Through the suspension of disbelief, viewers can temporarily forget their own troubles.
Whether it's the thrill of adventure, the allure of romance, or the exploration of distant galaxies, escapism provides a reprieve from the mundane and allows people to explore new realms of possibility, fostering a sense of wonder and excitement.
Generally a short term "fix" - a better long term strategy is to be comfortable or even happy with your life (but that's a story for a different day).
