Great article! I really love the communal nature of movies and how they help us connect with others. I often think about Cinema Paradiso that really illustrates how films can help us bond to each other.

I've always loved movies, but thought they were fun entertainment. But now, as an adult, understand that they're so much more. These stories are powerful and taking the time to ponder them can change everything. These illusions can still make an impact--which is wild to think about.

Thanks so much for sharing this!
