Maybe I'm not trying to figure out "anything concrete"? It's not like this is something I'm studying intensely, for God's sake. And you can say that I'm just wasting my time, sure, I suppose I waste my time with a lot of things. I'm okay with that. It's just recreation for me, recreation whose subject matter is generally related to themes I write about.
Yeah, that is what I mean.
I wish there was some example that we could talk about so I would know what kinds of movies you mean that make you feel like your life and the world at large are meaningless, like something we've both seen or whatever.
So basically in a less realistic, less "serious," more idealistic world, it's okay because then we're dealing with ideals - but as soon as it becomes more realistic, it doesn't work because heroes don't work in the real world? Because that's an interesting sort of split you've got there. Seriously, I would love to hear examples of the two different kinds of movies here.
