formu-listic

ive been thinking about movie plot lines recently

specifically the ones where a protagonist is in a perfectly normal everyday average situation/job and usually through no real action of their own is thrown into a situation greater than them where they survive with surprising aptitude before finding happiness

more realistic would be that the character completely misses out on the opportunity due to be stuck performing a thankless task in a job they hate for a meager salary

or if they embark on their journey of self discovery the aforementioned salary would cause them to fail very early on due to lack of funds

or the tax office tracks them down and takes everything they earned

i suppose thats why we use movies as an entertaining form of escape from reality
