Does the inevitable [unconscious] comparing of your life to the hyper-real exciting world of cinema, mean that

..as well as entertaining you, film is at the same time subliminally making your life feel dull & mediocre [in comparison]..

Answer:
Totally agree,
Movies and TV do not depict realism.
The percentage of beautiful people to wombats is far far higher.
This makes your average wombat feel subliminally inferior.
We shouldn't make these people role models.
I personally have no time for most of todays celebrities.
Lets get real, there are a lot of talentless fools out there.
If you want to put someone on a pedestal, put your friends and family on the podium before Jade Goody.
no not really I don't think
Sorry no. I live in a real world not vicariously through some movie star. Those people are fake.
media in general is designed by its very nature to make you feel inferior like there is something missing from your life. that is the way they keep you interested - its like escapism, if people dont know that their life isnt perfect then they wont need to escape so they point out how inperfect your life is in order to make you want to escape and then they have you investing in the life of celebrity that makes them so wealthy
Of course it does.The whole media is set up in such a way as to make us strive for more and more material wealth,thereby keeping the economy healthy/keeping the poor in debt.People are less likely to say "F**k all of this" if they're constantly worried about how they're going to pay their bills!
