5. People Also Like Movies Dealing With Real Issues Now, Apparently
Even though we’re now super-obsessed with getting as far away from reality as possible with all those superhero flicks, we’re also super-interested in movies that are super-serious and super-realistic, too. That’s going by the last quarter of the year’s haul of “real issue” movies alone, which includes slavery “epic” Lincoln, its bizarro-world buddy Django Unchained, the Osama Bin Laden manhunt flick Zero Dark Thirty, and Ben Affleck’s CIA thriller Argo, all of which have proven successful (or will undoubtably prove successful once they hit theatres) at the box-office. There’s hope for mankind yet, and it’s all because of you.
