People don't really want reality. They want theater, and that's different.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.
I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.
Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality.
The myth that theater isn't for everybody is total nonsense. In the 18th and 19th centuries, everybody in America used to go to the theater all the time. The shows they went to see were big, crazy melodramas that had careening storylines and houses burning down and pretty girls in danger and comedy and death and destruction.
That's one thing about Hollywood. People don't always want what's real. People always want a little more. So for me, it's a compromise. Here you go, that hyper-reality.
Theater to me is acting but it's more real on film.
Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.
People want reality that tells them how right they are all the time.
I think people really want to see the real because the world is portrayed at such a low level that if you come out with a real wholesome show, people don't want to see that anymore.
Reality really is theater. There's no other way to describe it. It's all so nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.
