Read this article from the Vancouver Sun.
“People often complain that movies are nothing like real life, that even movies based on true stories take many liberties with the facts.
It’s an odd lament, given that movies are one of our premier forms of escapism. One could argue that the very reason for the enduring popularity of movies is that they are nothing like real life, that they let us experience different lives and different worlds.
This is especially true when our world becomes a bit too much to bear. Like right now, for example. During the past six plus months (and for the next one, two years?) we’ve been consumed by the economic turmoil not seen since the Great Depression, so it stands to reason that we welcome something that gives us respite from our woes.”
