Each of us sees the world from our own point of view, from our very own perspective.
However, there is an innate desire to see more than that and be larger than ourselves. And this is what makes cinema so special. It lets you transcend time and space, and imagine life from a different perspective. Though for a short duration it helps us live a different life, a different tale, a rather more interesting one.
