1. Hollywood is in the business of selling fantasy, and even though that has a negative connotation, whatever onscreen fantasies we find ourselves in, they represent someone’s ideals; as we are constantly searching for meaningful ways to be. The screen is a fantasy stage for our desires. The silver screen is a space where our desires are projected; or emitted, if we’re watching a movie on an LCD monitor. What’s projected or emitted by the screen is the object of our desire. As people, we are pushed by internal drives towards objects of our desires.
