The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death.

Summary

This quote suggests that one of the reasons cinema is so appealing is because it taps into the fear of death. Movies have the power to transport audiences into different worlds, showcasing dramatic and thrilling stories that explore mortality. The uncertainty and vulnerability associated with death are deeply ingrained fears in human nature. Through the medium of film, people can experience these fears from a safe distance, allowing them to confront and experience the terror of death in a controlled and temporary manner. This existential theme adds a layer of intrigue and captivation to the cinematic experience.
