Why do you watch movies?
I’m doing my part as an obliging Malaysian citizen and browsing through the (now, very open) pirated DVD shops.
I’ve selected Kinsey and Vanity Fair (still slightly surprised they have such old films in store).
And in my head is LingLing, who’s always watching this or that. Sebbie’s a different animal - with different rationale for his film obsession. Sis makes cinema-visiting a (nearly) weekly affair. DT watched tv series of sorts every other day.
So what is it that we love so much?
Is it just to kill time? Watch someone else ridicule themselves in the world for a change? Or perhaps an attempt to live in someone else’s fantasy?
