Movies help to see ourselves in other characters but they also offer us an escape into phantasy. Sometimes we become entangle in the characters and identify with them thinking what's on screen is the truth or possible in real life. Woman still struggle to reach full equality and are often portrait in movies the way men or society wants to see them but that leaves no room for true self development on the full spectrum of human options.
