It’s interesting think about how movies have influenced our perceptions of how life should be. Television has had its moments but it’s movies that have always been so much grander and more visceral. They’ve taught us how to fight fair (or not), how to win the girl, how to triumph over obstacles. Of course our deep knowledge of movies has also taught us that things never quite work out like they do in the movies. Speaking of which, where is my soundtrack?
A post over at the NYT ideas blog and the National Post got this thought train going.
