Question

Movies and series scene
Why do we feel sad  when we see a sad scene in a movie or series and we know it is not true ?

Answer

A well written scene in a movie/tv show or in a book is supposed to transport the watcher/reader to the scene. Therefore the scene seems true and true emotions are evoked. If you are thinking this is far fetched while watching/reading then you don’t get sucked in and the emotions the writer had intended are not achieved.

Our mind loves to play tricks on us.
