We love to entertain ourselves watching a good movie. It does not matter if it is fiction or based on true events, we are addicted to movies that emotionally influence us. Each month millions of DVD movies are purchased and rented in America. Now, with high speed internet, you can get access to movies at the click of a mouse.

Why do we like movies so much? According to psychologist and sociologists, a good move does a lot for us. They help us to escape the realities of everyday problems, care and worries while taking us on a brief mental journey into another life where dreams are made possible. We tend to briefly live through the characters, the plot and stories we watch through the power of imagination.

Movies also have to power t educate. Many true stories are filled with conventional tidbits of wisdom that could help if you are facing the same situations and circumstances as the lead character. As an example, movies such as A Home of Our Own, starring Kathy Bates, portrayed what it was like to live in the trappings of steep poverty in America and how to maintain your integrity as a human being.

Not all movies are produced to take us off into the far wonders of space and time. True stories are one of my favorites. The lessons we learn by watching stories based on real events have the power to influence us and transform the way we think. We can all identify with certain scenarios that arouse emotions, entertain our worse fears or create excitement for something new.

The events of true stories seem to resonate with millions of people. The plot, setting, season and the circumstances in which characters find themselves entangled in make us reflect upon a time in our lives when we faced similar situations or challenges. Oddly enough, some people can and do get wisdom from watching movies based on true events when they are going through a similar experience.

The movie, The Burning Bed highlighted the experience of what it was like for women living in abusive relationships. While the laws have dramatically changed today giving more protection to people suffering in abusive relationships, when The Burning Bed was released, the movie caught the attention of many activists groups and inspired women all across the country to get out of abusive relations by seeking adequate help from friends, family and legal authorities.

Can you rely on conventional wisdom inspired by movies based upon true events? In most cases you can since most producers consult with real professionals and consultants to help them act out true stories and events. As an example a movie about a bad marriage headed for a devastating divorce caused by the problems of financial hardship, can shed light on what to do if you are facing those problems in real life.

The educational value of a true story goes without saying. Since we all gravitate toward true stories that we can relate with, there must be some comfort in watching how others deal with the same issues in life. If for nothing more, they do provide us with unique insight so we can begin to understand and explore our own options and choices.
