i ask this question because, as a student of philosophy, i am always amazed to see people enjoying watching horrific movies but hate to see that happening in reality. so, if that is the case, why are we so interested in watching these movies. is it because by nature we are imitative creatures as Aristotle said? or we are just doing that out of being interested? Thus, the whole question is firmly based on pain and pleasure found in art but avoided in rea;ty.
