“Or live in a fantasy of denial.”
Well, fantasy is part of entertainment. Good for you! You’re making progress!
The first film came out in 1977. Carter was the pRESIDENT. Iran, Gas shortage, National Lampoon cost a DOLLAR! Real life sucked. What we needed was a good fantasy! Lucas struck while the iron was hot. Hit pay dirt. After that, just like crack, he tried to get the same high as the first time. Never the same. Nothing in life is. Just enjoy the film for what it is. Pure fantasy!
