WHY DO WE LOVE MOVIES?


I GUESS IT IS CALLED "OLD AGE".........
I JUST READ THAT LISTENING TO AN EXCELLENT STORY......"ONE THAT CAPTURES US, MOVES US, TRANSPORTS US".......TRIGGERS A SPECIFIC CASCADE OF EVENTS IN THE BRAIN AND BODY......FIRST OUR HEART RATE INCREASES AS OUR ATTENTION IS PIQUED.  AS WE CONTINUE LISTENING,  THE BRAIN IS PROMPTED TO SECRETE OXYTOCIN......THE NEUROCHEMICAL KNOWN FOR ITS ABILITY TO PROMOTE BONDING BETWEEN LOVERS OR A PARENT AND A CHILD....
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE STORY IS HAPPY OR SAD, FICTION OR NON-FICTION, ON AUDIO OR IN PRINT......"IF IT GETS YOU INTERESTED AND GIVES YOU A REASON TO CARE, IT CAN HELP MAKE YOU HEALTHIER....."
MAYBE THAT IS WHY LESLIE AND I ARE PRETTY HEALTHY??????WE LOVE MOVIES, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS......BUT TO GO AND SPEND A COUPLE OF HOURS INVOLVED IN SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE.....CAN BE GOOD.  I AM SURE THAT WILL BE A FUN PAST TIME FOR BOTH OF US AS LONG AS WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE.
