Seems really dumb

What does this have to do with real life. Nothing

Not even sci fi

The devil is in charge of him? How is that interesting

That doesn’t happen

Ugh

Fantasy movies, by their very nature, delve into realms beyond the confines of our everyday reality. Here’s a breakdown of why:
* Escapism and Imagination:
* Fantasy provides an escape from the mundane, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in worlds filled with magic, mythical creatures, and extraordinary adventures.
* It fuels our imaginations, exploring “what if” scenarios that are impossible in the real world.
* Exploration of Universal Themes:
* While not grounded in reality, fantasy often explores universal themes like good versus evil, courage, love, and the human condition.
* These themes resonate with audiences, even within fantastical settings.
* Creative Freedom:
* Fantasy offers filmmakers and storytellers unparalleled creative freedom. They can construct entirely new worlds, rules, and possibilities.
* This allows for unique and visually stunning storytelling.
* Symbolism and Metaphor:
* Fantasy elements can serve as powerful symbols and metaphors for real-world issues.
* For example, a battle against a dark lord might represent the struggle against oppression or inner demons.
* The draw of the extraordinary:
* Humans are drawn to things that are outside of the normal day to day experience. Fantasy movies allow us to experience things that would be impossible in our regular lives.
In essence, fantasy movies offer a unique form of storytelling that allows us to explore both the depths of our imaginations and the core of our humanity, all within the context of fantastical worlds.
