"In Hollywood, moviemaking used to be about escaping reality to go to the movies"

About this Quote
This quote by Chris Kattan highlights the concept that Hollywood movies were once seen as a form of escapism. In the past, individuals would go to the motion pictures to forget about their everyday lives and immerse themselves in a different world. Hollywood was understood for creating epic stories and characters that permitted audiences to briefly escape their own truth. However, with the rise of more realistic and relatable films, the concept of escapism in Hollywood has moved. Now, films are often utilized as a way to reflect and confront real-life problems, instead of merely providing an escape from them.
