heroes and idols

most folks idolize film stars for the films they have done.
Actually there is a charm in that, I mean you go watch a film and you don't know anything about the film star's personal lives, and all that you know is what the film tells you about the actor and what he or she makes real for you.

Mysteries can be great!
The experience of watching and living the film can be exhilarating.
That experience you live can make a film iconic for you.

You don't know how the film stars live their personal lives, what they eat, and whom they are dating. You watch them for the experience the film renders.
You watch the film because it is real as long as you have no more information about that stars than what the film provides.
I think that is one reason why Star Wars was such a success!

It is very liberating for film watchers.
Especially when you are young, I mean I would believe most of what I watched.
It all true, it is.....till you begin to know more about the film stars and the concept depicted in the film is all a lie.

As it is often reported: Ignorance is Bliss, at least for as long at it lasts.
